I voted against the so called "SAVE" Act today.

American elections are already secure, and the SAVE Act introduces unnecessary voter restrictions for millions of eligible citizens by claiming they are a “solution” to a made-up problem.

Well Ladies, who has $165 available to pay your voting tax? That’s how much passports currently are - until identification is 100% free to voters, this bill and the lawmakers who thought this up can go f*** themselves. Women’s March time again.

@schumer.senate.gov Please do not vote to advance MAGA’s agenda in order to avoid a government shut down. The Republican have wanted a shut down for years - let them have it; put their insanity and the sinking economy on them where it belongs

Folks, a lot of us are trapped somewhere in the grief cycle, working our way through denial (checked out), bargaining (hello dem Congress), sadness and anger. Acceptance is the anecdote to anger and propels us to action. Let me help you articulate what you’re grieving - accept this has happened:

It's time to stand up and speak out.

Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your representatives to not let Donald Trump and his administration take away your services.

Another way to resist with Moxie: if you’ve ever considered running, now might be the time.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
