And go to bed
That’s the difference

In the same 24 hours, scotus made abortion illegal in half the country and the Senate of the largest, most "progressive" state in the Union confirmed that yes, they would like to keep prison slavery in place. That's sitting heavy with me today. #ACA3#RoeVsWade#EndTheException
FYI: When they tell you to “vote harder” that should also apply to primary elections, too.
