I still think every candidate from now on should have to pass the updated US citizenship exam (it's not a cakewalk) *and* show how a family of four with two minimum-wage incomes can afford all the basics (home, food, clothing, transport) PLUS healthcare (& they have to show the math). 🤷♀️

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

This is excellent. In three minutes she explains how democracies become dictatorships. It's happened so many times, yet in each country, most people said, 'it can't happen here'
#StaceyAbrams explains how to achieve an #autocracy in 10 steps.
We're at step 9.
The military is in our streets. Is our democracy worth the effort to defend it?

No joke.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Make your voices heard, people. Hate the bill the House passed? Tell your reps or adjacent reps in your state.
Here are some from my state:

Crank: 202-225-4422
Hurd: 202-225-4676
Evans: 202-225-5625
They don’t like phone calls. What do we say? Tough!

I’ve been wondering for decades why women still change their names when they marry.
Change your names back NOW, friends! So that you can vote in perpetuity.
