This is not the future we imagined. It's the future we're now given.
For democracy to live, we all need to do whatever we are able. Doing nothing is not an option.
If you can't participate, support those who can.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

So you are telling me that in the “nation of laws” that was founded on the principle of having no tyranny we must suffer a tyrant because Republicans would rather burn the country down instead of upholding their oaths. Cool, cool, cool.
Anyway really got the Pink Pony Club song stuck in my head.
