My lil congressional internship was in 1999 but the absolute WORST part of that unpaid job was answering angry constituent calls. Somehow they thought I (a 19 yr old answering the phone) had any control over what the congressperson said/ did. Don’t be an ass to the messenger.
You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine?

Just remember as you see all these politicians rushing to say "Bernie was right, we should be like Bernie" that a few weeks ago, Bernie was praising Trump on immigration. Oh, and Bernie voted to confirm Marco Rubio.
NONE of the Senate Democrats are good enough. NONE. OF. THEM.

Being disabled in the U.S. is constantly living in extreme stress because non medical people determine whether they believe you are disabled & worthy of benefits you’ve paid into that can partially sustain you and provide access to healthcare.

I’ve been trying to get SSDI for awhile now & in the meantime I have mediocre but still very necessary ACA health insurance that my family helps me pay for but I don’t know that I’ll be able to maintain that in the coming year due to cost. I need Sen Ossoff & Sen Warnock to remember disabled folks.

Ezra Klein is never ever ever going to say he’s wrong.
He knows he’s wrong, though.
He just thinks he’s smarter than y’all.

The majority of Black and Brown people who live in the U.S. reside in the South. Views like this expressed by Peter Wagner only serve to dehumanize & dismiss folks who are anything other than white. In the words of one of my hometown’s most talented artists, “South got something to say.”

I don’t think I realized the trauma? I was carrying around from Katrina. And even saying that feels ridiculous. I was in ATL so I was just witnessing it via news/ constant programming & friends who had to evacuate. I find myself unable to watch or listen to anything about it on the 20th anniversary.
Hurricane Katrina flooded nearly every building in St. Bernard Parish near New Orleans in 2005. Twenty years later, the community is still rebuilding and flood protections encouraged some to return.
20 years after Hurricane Katrina, St. Bernard Parish is still recovering

I feel like if I had a different primary interest I might be less tense/ stressed. I’m beginning to understand what that sleep specialist meant when she said politics didn’t count as a hobby.

The #USPS has continued their beef w/ me. I hoped it would stay in Austin when I moved back to GA but this #Palmetto center is a nightmare. I ordered a planner & that thing was in Palmetto awhile then went to Puerto Rico & now it’s in Alaska! @ossoff.senate.gov this is too much!

If you're in a city with an immigration court, court watching is a very useful and concrete thing you can do!!

Jeffries on Trump planning a military crackdown in Chicago: "We should continue to support local law enforcement and not simply allow Donald Trump to play games with the lives of the American people as part of his effort to manufacture a crisis and create a distraction because he's deeply unpopular"
