From Alabama. Ohio resident. Dem political operative. I'm not overreacting. You're underreacting.
Also, there will be husky pictures and my random adhd thoughts. If you're wondering, the husky is Oakley. He's a rescue who adopted me when he was 4.

As I'm deleting the rest of my social media, let me know if I know you from outside of bluesky. Especially if you aren't using your name on here. I'm adding you guys to a list so I can follow your posts more closely and stay in touch.
My poor, handsome boy has a mom who loves Christmas lights and interrupting walks for pictures against his will. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers over the next month. He thinks it's torture.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I get this heartbreak. I, too, fled Alabama. After pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into fixing my state, I started to think of my relationship with my home state as enabling an addict that hasn't hit rock bottom yet. I think I was right.
Can we fix the country? I think there is still hope.

We live in a world where it's hip to be mean.
Mean is the point, whether we’re talking SNAP benefits or immigration or prison or economics. Human rights, civil rights and common decency are 20th century concepts. Like retirement. Or conversation.
Consider the case of Sim Butler and his family.

He fled Alabama to protect his family, and now he warns the world
“The weight of living in Alabama, of living in fight or flight every day, was something I didn’t realize I was carrying until I got out of there."

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

If we win back the house, it'll be because of the efforts of hundreds of people you will never know about. I'll have a story to tell you about one of the heroes in Ohio when that happens.

I knew after the election the biggest issue a lot of Americans would be facing would be food insecurity. I don't have a lot to spare, but I can afford a small recurring donation until I can afford to give more. Give if you can and ask for help if you need it. #ohio

I'm working very hard to ignore the destruction of the East Wing because it hurts me. A sharp stab to the chest. It can't be an emotional priority to me given the state of the country right now, but I forsee a good, long cry about it in the future.

I needed to brush my husky, so he hid in his crate. I left some treats out and left the room. I snuck back in and closed the door to his crate before he could get back in. It was close. The look of betrayal. I told him, "Neither of my girl huskies would have ever fallen for that."
It's true.
