i keep thinking about just take it ten seconds at a time everything will be ok from unbreakable kimmy schmidt. i keep thinking about look for the helpers you will always find people who are helping from mr rogers. i keep thinking about most people are decent from rutger bregman. i keep thinking about there’s some good in the world mr frodo and it’s worth fighting for from lotr. i keep thinking about there’s a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in from leonard cohen. my brain is a washing machine of hope and i will go on i will i will will

I probably don’t need to explain what inspired me to draw this.

For everyone else living in America, don’t give up. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

If you had told me in 2016 that we were going to have to do this AGAIN in 2024 I simply would not have believed you.

Everyone take it easy today, watch that show you really wanted to but haven't got around to, buy or pre-order that thing you are always looking at but never get, eat that thing you've been craving to shit recently. Indulge in life's little pleasures that you have control over, it's the minimum of what you deserve today. I'm proud of you.

I don’t post as much about politics as I used to because, somehow, I took my rage and turned it into a career.

These days, I write for families who have lost loved ones in mass shootings, survivors of tragedies, and politicians/activists on the left who have overcome adversity.

I’ve travelled across the country and crossed borders with Americans with Diabetes and their families to buy affordable insulin. I saw their tears and heard the cracks in their voices as they explained what the reduced prices of their critical medicine meant.

I’ve sat alongside families of kids lost at Parkland, Uvalde, Sandy Hook, and more. I’ve watched them fight tooth and nail for change while our legislators turn their backs.

I’ve delivered petitions to Capitol Hill, marched alongside thousands for justice, borne the scars of police brutality on my body, answered the phones for a Senator, written tweets and emails and texts on behalf of politicians, and fought for years & years.

Don’t take my quiet here as complacency. There are other channels, other avenues, where my voice matters more. And trust that I fight in those.

the mark robinson situation is making me think that in the next decade a senator's AO3 account is going to get leaked, and it's going to be the funniest week in politics ever

one of the featured organizers at a “get out the vote” event i went to was a lady named betty douglas, known to everyone as ms. betty. she’s warm and charismatic, and a hell of a speaker. ms. betty takes three buses to get to her job at mcdonalds and, after years of rallying her coworkers and community to fight for workers’ rights, finally gets to vote on a ballot proposition to raise our state’s minimum wage and guarantee paid sick leave for hourly workers. this is her:

im frustrated by people who want to sit at home until the revolution comes, because i dont know what they think ms. betty is if not a revolutionary. if you’re waiting for a theory of everything you’re going to wait a long time, but if you want the revolution, i promise it’s in your town and would love to have you

Continuing my series of pretending tumblr polls are methodologically sound:

(+ bonus for the tags: how many of your friends and family do you think will vote, regardless of who they’re voting for.

And non-usamericans how are you feeling about the American election? 👀)

PLEASE REBLOG TO SPREAD BEFORE ELECTION DAY 🇺🇸🗳️🗳️

"i don't want to vote for genocide joe" do you think i want to???? do you think i want to vote for another establishment democrat?? do you think i want another four years of minimal progress at best??? no!!! but guess what!!! life in this country isn't about what you want!!!! life isn't about you you you you you!!!

existing as a voter in america is about triage!!! existing as a voter in america is about minimizing your impact!!!! because guess what!!! your existence is inherently unethical!!! as long as you draw breath you will be causing harm!!! i am serious!!! you, the american reading this!!! your very existence causes harm! you cannot mitigate that by doing nothing!!! you HAVE to do even the bare fucking minimum in order to combat that!!! and sometimes that means voting for joe biden!!!

you exist in america! you pay taxes to this country and you use electricity made in this country and you consume food purchased in this country and you post things on the internet under this country's laws! americans! your existence is harming people! so you have to do the bare fucking minimum! in order to make that harm less! and that includes conforming to the establishment and not letting donald trump gain the presidency again! because if you allow your inaction to result in a fascist presidency! you will in fact be doing!! even worse!!
