Feeling: Frustrated 😣

 I posted this to Facebook today:

Politics on FB (or anywhere else!) can be a drag, but I'm feeling compelled...

If Republicans jam through another SC justice after blocking Garland in 2016 it will be a true crossing of the Rubicon. There will be no going back. Nerves are still raw from Garland... this is an opportunity to show good faith and at least apply that newly invented rule evenly. To bring the temperature down. Instead it appears Republicans are going to pour gasoline on the fire, destroying the legitimacy of the SC in the process. We will never stop fighting about this. 

But it appears that's where we're headed. I'm probably preaching to the choir but please remember it's not enough just to vote this year. Most directly, try to identify any unreliable voters you know and make sure they vote this year (a personal appeal is going to matter so much more than any advertising could). I signed up to write letters to swing state voters and donated to winning back state legislatures to fight unfair gerrymandering. (Links in the comments.) I'm sure there are many other ways you can get involved, but please be sure you are doing SOMETHING (beyond just voting).

This isn't just about Trump. It's about basic human decency. That's on the ballot, up and down the ballot. Nobody else is going to fix this for us. "We are the one we've been waiting for." (blah, blah...) I promise to do my part and I'm counting on you good people to do yours. It's the only way we're gonna get through this. 

Love to you all ️
