Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.
To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab.
I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood.
Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell.
Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice.
I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known.
And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them.

@academic_la The guy could have done a lot for himself by simply saying "America was not to blame for 9/11." That's just playing into the prejudice, and amplifying it.
DSA wants to replace the office of President with the "Head Honcho of Whatever." Either Dems reject this bullshit, or a whole bunch of us are walking out.
@bencampo@magi_jay It is well known that divorce courts often issue orders precluding parents from taking their children to the emergency room in the event of an emergency.
PabloReports: Do you agree with Senator Cornyn that there is nothing that can be done to constrain Trump?
Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, on these slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs.
