TIL: The person that picks up when you call your representatives isn't always going to simply listen, take notes, and pass it on for you. They may try to argue with you and gaslight you about your concerns! 😃🙃

So this is friendly reminder to take care of yourself if you're marathoning calling representatives! Take breaks if you need to, drink your favorite drink, eat your favorite snack, take deep breaths in between each call! And if you have an audio recorder feel free to keep it close to your phone in case the person you're on call with tries to say some slick shit 🤗

#for context i was calling all of the nassau county districts 🙃#there's 19 of them and i can count on one hand how many of the people i was on the phone with actually let me get more than 3 sentences in #before cutting me off to whitesplain me what i already know the bill to be claiming #re: how it supposedly isn't going to affect people who wear masks/face coverings for medical or religious or recreational reasons #i felt like i was in a time loop with how it felt like I was getting the exact same response over and over #like thanks i didn't call to discuss this with you can you shut the fuck up and just take notes of what I'm calling about please???#this shit is draining omfg #I do not TRUST the judgement of cops to make sound decisions of who's a “bad actor”#and it's pathetic how much they worship their cops #that they can't even process the fucking fact that MAYBE JUST MAYBE YOUR COPS ARE RACIST PIECES OF SHITS #THEY STATISTICALLY HAVE A HIGH RATE OF POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST BLACK & BROWN PPL OVER THERE HOLY SHIT #THE DISSONANCE. THE WILLFUL IGNORANCE.#I HATE ALL OF THIS OMFG #mod enid
