Gamergate was like 200 people. And now look where we are. “A lot of emails” on a topic to congressional staffers is like, 20. Are politicians spineless idiots? Yes. Use that to your advantage! Is this the only thing you can be doing? No! But it can be the first.
The internet has completely short circuited our sense of scale. The number of people required to move almost any needle is remarkably low. Your involvement in local causes, political pressure WILL have an impact.
Ok, get out there.

This evening, Rep. Al Green of Texas was forcibly removed from the joint session of Congress by the sergeant-at-arms for standing up and yelling “You have no mandate to cut Medicaid.” during the president’s address.
“He is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility,” Green said.
“I’m willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me,” he continued. “I didn’t say to anyone, ‘Don’t punish me.’ I’ve said I’ll accept the punishment, but it’s worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president’s desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.”
“This is about the people who are being punished by virtue of losing their health care,” he added. “This is the richest country in the world, and we have people who don’t have good health care.” (Per HuffPost)
i updated my bio so i look like a person but man like idk what else to put. i’m a whore for the majority of art, whether music or film or actual art or books, i’ve got a lot of Adult things going on but i feel 13 mentally sometimes, i take myself too seriously and don’t at the same time, and i get a lot of criticism on run on sentences. all this to say how the fuck do i compress the many one-liners that immediately come to mind that are like 2014 tumblr-esque and a true indicator of my unfortunate humor! i do not, that is how
the best part abt having a good work ethic but hating capitalism is that while i’m forced to work at a shitty blue and red pizza place i get to look at my managers who are unable to chastise me for being out of dress code and showing up whenever every day bc i do too much for them to fire me. checkmate bitch
