Jeff doesn’t shy away from holding the floor for multiple hours to ensure the records reflect the important things. Like when he read SA survivors names in the dead of night so they’d be recorded. Marathon Merkley is at it again, and we’re so lucky to have his representation.

I'm holding the floor to protest Trump dragging us further into authoritarianism.

This is why we fight so hard. Because otherwise the stupidest people ever to inhabit our planet will destroy all life on the planet, and ofc us along with it.

I didn’t want a name close to my birth name because I didn’t want people having an excuse to not try, but I also didn’t like the masculine version of my name. I workshopped a couple with a friend of mine and then when I landed on Logan, it just felt *me*. Whatever feels right to you!

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

Kristi Noem has unleashed dangerously unfit, untrained thugs on our streets and in our communities, leaving death, injury, and property destruction in their wake. No one is safe from their campaign of terror. Not even law enforcement.

ICE totally shot a US Marshal while smashing out a window with their service weapon. And I dunno but I doubt that is SOP for window smashing. Maybe these guys need more than an afternoon of training.
