@AntiFa2023@OccupyDemocrats Unless you know of five Republicans who have no intention of running for another term...or who plan to switch Parties...I don't see that happening, ever.
@OccupyDemocrats Yup. Republicans not only cannot work with the other Party...THEY CAN'T EVEN WORK WITH THEMSELVES!!
Well, I feel no pity for Dr. Frankenstein. They created the monster known as the Freedom Caucus, and now they must live with it, when it has turned on them.
@nzpeacesafety I should note my former opponent and I are friends. After I licked my wounds for a week, I rolled up my sleeves to help her win in November.
The agenda was more important than the ego.
I won't lie, losing hurts. But that seat was too important.
@nzpeacesafety Thanks. I ran in 2020. I lost in my Primary, but I was up against an establishment favorite. I knew when I got in I had an uphill battle.
I still managed 27 percent of the Primary vote, which, given what I was up against...was pretty good.
For all the outrage manufacturing hypocritical Magaidiots out there with their ‘Hawaii needs help and Brandon is on vacation’ bullshit:
A. let’s pretend for a minute that you actually give a shit about anyone else’s pain and suffering…Ok, that’s over.
B. President Biden issued a federal disaster declaration on THURSDAY and has sent whatever federal assistance is needed and then some to help the people of Hawaii with the recovery. And he’s monitoring the entire situation as we speak.
C. If you really, really wanna Fucking go there, may I remind you that your despotic dotard played red state/blue state politics, ‘if they didn’t vote for me I’m not gonna help them’ when it came to the country’s disaster response, he threw paper towels at hurricane survivors in Puerto Rico, posed for a thumbs up photo op with a newly orphaned baby after a mass shooting in Texas, blamed the state of CA for its wildfires, and of course while thousands of Americans were dying daily from a virus he said was a “hoax” even though he damn well knew it wasn’t, he was golfing. Like a lot. Refrigerator trucks were filling up with the bodies of our fellow citizens, and he was on the back nine.
So don’t. Just Fucking don’t even try to gaslight us. Joe Biden takes the occasional weekend nap on the beach, but still puts Americans in need FIRST.
Trump, when he wasn’t golfing, tried to deny blue states disaster aid cuz he was big mad at them and golfed through an entire f’ng global pandemic.
So just Fucking don’t.
@NorthBelle4@LieslMcconchie@myrabatchelder I hear ya. I would rather suffer any non-life-threatening injury or condition than risk going to the hospital...for the exact same reason.
@nzpeacesafety THAT is what you should get from Georgina's story....from my story, from any #trans person's story.
WE define our lives and ourselves. It is not up to you.
@nzpeacesafety I don't think, Hera...that a non-trans such as yourself should be defining our paths....or limiting what options are available to us, based on your own comfort level, or whatever else.
They are OUR LIVES...and WE are the ones who should define them. Not you. Not anyone else.
@nzpeacesafety @shmokeweeed420 @maracroix After that job, I delivered an early-morning store-and-rack newspaper route. Then I went home and slept all day.
Nobody else really wanted those kinds of jobs/hours. So we stayed employed in that way. But there was also no possibility of upward mobility.
@nzpeacesafety @shmokeweeed420 @maracroix Just as an example, in my early days....I worked in an office all alone, but one worker for about an hour. I worked late evenings into early mornings, and had my own bathroom on a different floor of the building from which I worked, which today would be an OSHA violation.
@nzpeacesafety @shmokeweeed420 @maracroix There is more support and more possibility for us today than there was then.
But with it has also come an increase in attacks, physical, verbal and legislative.
