other senator: okay okay hear me out, we fuck over people by destroying net neutrality which is something they’ve shown to care about but we call it something that sounds like they’d agree with

senator: okay like what

other senator: Restoring Internet Freedom Act

These 9 Senators really don’t like net neutrality

Racism is real

I remember my mother crying at the table with bills spread out and a calculator, looking at the numbers and crying.

I remember having this jug we saved all our change in for YEARS, trying to save up for a nice vacation somewhere, and the day all of our hearts broke when we had to empty it out and roll the change up to use for gas money.

I remember being that poor. And I remember my mother taking us to McDonald’s - often.

I remember being that poor, and I remember my mother treating herself to a cup of Tim Hortons on days she just wanted to have something nice. That was my mothers “treat yourself” days. A fucking cup of god damn coffee.

So seriously? Fuck every single person who scoffs at poor people who eat fast food and grab a cup of coffee on the go.

Republicans win a special House election in Kansas after an embarrassing red-state scare

And the Georgia election is next week? 

Georgia Special Election: What to know about the next race to replace a Trump Cabinet pick

Losing all our rights isn’t funny or cute. Because of run-offs, impeachments, etc., elections can happen every single year. This year Trump is electing staff and cabinet to the White House who are leaving their local offices and needing replacement.

The Dems lost a deep-red district on Tuesday by a THIN margin. If more people had been aware of the vote in Kansas and acted, it could have been an upset. Ridiculing “get out the vote” messages is NOT HELPING ANYONE EXCEPT THE GOP, please stop!

Register to vote if you’re not registered. The people who say, “I’ll do it before the next election” end up missing the deadlines and missing out. Be AHEAD of the game, not behind it.

Non-ironic: U.S. readers, register to vote here.
