Tell Your Senator to Block Markwayne Mullin from Taking Over I.C.E.. There isn't much chance of permanently blocking him because senators like to rubber stamp other senators no matter how horrible, dangerous, or incompetent they are, but we can try to delay the process.

* We are in primary season now. States vote at different times, so I beg ALL of you to check when your state is voting. If you are in an in-person vote state, research ahead of time so you can vote for the candidate with views closest to your own. If you vote by mail, take the time to look them up when your ballot comes.
THIS is how you move the party further LEFT.

I don't know where you live, so I can't link this for you, but I find the Progressive Voter Guide online very helpful in narrowing down candidates in the often packed primaries where I live.
I also suggest looking at things like volunteer work and endorsements, because it really, really helps with things like sheriff and judicial elections, but can be useful in all sorts of primaries when you have multiple good options.
REMEMBER: Don't just vote for the big things like US Congress. Vote in every State and local race down to the smallest and on all the referendums.
State and local elections have a massive impact on your quality of life.

* Friday I woke up with a reasonable pain level, but almost no spoons. Just sitting and folding laundry required more than an hour of napping and another thre plus hours to make it out of bed. There is something extra annoying about being this debilitated when the pain isn't this bad. Like, I don't want to be in more pain, but when pain keeps waking one up, one expects to be completely useless after. One does not expect it after reasonable quality sleep where the disruption was mostly Insurance Scammer calls.
Sigh.

* We are in primary season now. States vote at different times, so I beg ALL of you to check when your state is voting. If you are in an in-person vote state, research ahead of time so you can vote for the candidate with views closest to your own. If you vote by mail, take the time to look them up when your ballot comes.
THIS is how you move the party further LEFT.

I don't know where you live, so I can't link this for you, but I find the Progressive Voter Guide online very helpful in narrowing down candidates in the often packed primaries where I live.
I also suggest looking at things like volunteer work and endorsements, because it really, really helps with things like sheriff and judicial elections, but can be useful in all sorts of primaries when you have multiple good options.
REMEMBER: Don't just vote for the big things like US Congress. Vote in every State and local race down to the smallest and on all the referendums.
State and local elections have a massive impact on your quality of life.

* Friday I woke up with a reasonable pain level, but almost no spoons. Just sitting and folding laundry required more than an hour of napping and another thre plus hours to make it out of bed. There is something extra annoying about being this debilitated when the pain isn't this bad. Like, I don't want to be in more pain, but when pain keeps waking one up, one expects to be completely useless after. One does not expect it after reasonable quality sleep where the disruption was mostly Insurance Scammer calls.
