We can't erase cruelty, bitterness, and callousness from the psyches of those infected with it.
All we can do is
1) be the best, bravest, most astute and generous people we can be,
2) find others like us, and
3) lock arms with them to form a sturdy structure that people can flee to for shelter.

At least we can be confident that the Dems will stick to their principles & not give in… I’ll be over here in the corner crying
The only thing Republicans have made progress on is in finding new ways to appear like jackbooted thugs.
NEW: Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
This demand spans Senate leadership to Finance Cmte to proponents of ACA money.
Dems say hell no, current Hyde protections suffice.
"It's a nonstarter," Shaheen tells me.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.
If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.
