Day 167:
You thought it would get better, It hasn’t:
Just because you were on vacation for a couple of days doesn’t mean that the evil fuckers in Washington are not back and at it as hard as ever.
Even though we are in dark days, I still see some shining bright hope. Elizabeth Warren has started to beat the drum for single payer, and others are joining her. The fight for a living wage is still going strong, the war on drugs is faltering, and all around signs of resistance are growing. The latest being the fact that nearly every state has refused to comply with Trumps “voter fraud” commission, which is really just a voter suppression effort.
Just remember things are impossible until they happen, this cartoon supervillian in the white house might be just the thing we need to galvanize the US people into political action. Politicians like Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders will be vital in making sure that action is funneled into peaceful meaningful change, rather than violence and destruction.
