But what is too much to bear? Not being alive. So we kept being alive even as they destroyed us. So we buried our secrets though they tried to extinguish our secrets with us. Up until this very day. They keep coming, they never stop. You couldn't kill us all. - Dead Astronauts

"Hahaha" said Gandalf, hitting his weed pen for the seventeeth time that hour. "Fuck".
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.
What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.
Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.
State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.
