The blue wave is fading and I am angry. We are beginning to look like a bunch of cowards. [View all]

You cannot tell me that there is nothing, immediately, that the democratic party can do without waiting forever on the courts that are now filled with rethug sycophants. Each day, millions of my fellow democrats awake feeling like Nancy and the party are going to make a move. At the end of the day we are left wondering if this corrupt administration will ever end!

Some days I have to turn off all news for a reset. The talking heads talk hope and then snatch it away, riding the tide of what will give them the greatest ratings. Dr. Martin Luther King speaks of the ultimate measure of a man, not when he is comfortable but when he is challenged. We have even resorted to being divided. I know we can meet the challenge.

Take drump's ass to prosecution anyway. This crap about a sitting president cannot be prosecuted is a crock. Put a law on the floor, even if it is rejected, that says he can go to jail. Please, Democratic legislators, give us hope again or you will never get another blue wave. Use AOC more if you are reluctant to speak out. She is fierce and will call them out without a filter. For God's sake, do something.
