For anyone who tells you 2020 will be worse than 2019 please politely inform them, the future has yet to be written and you intend to make your voice heard. We all have the power to make a difference.

If reporters feel the impeachment hearings aren't "exciting" enough, they can go report on Trump's decades of mafia ties, sexual assaults, financial crimes, and all the other horrifying activity they failed to cover
The right-wing talking point that the impeachment hearings are “boring” has a strategic purpose. They dread the prospect of American voters tuning in and watching.
White people being snarky about the reporting on Stephen Miller’s emails — “oh, duh, we KNEW this” — are undermining a key aspect of combating white supremacy. In the face of constant gaslighting, anything than can be documented should. It’s vital now and for posterity’s sake.
Fun fact! Baby elephants are born weighing ~250 pounds, making them the world’s biggest babies, right next to the people who complain that CSS isn’t really coding 🧠✨💅🏼
