I am sick to death of the "if we had only done X" arguments [View all]

Enough bashing each other for what SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. Revisiting 2016 or the stolen SCOTUS seat or the fucking Jill Stein voters is not going to make our lives any better this day.

What can we do NOW?

Have you written letters to your congresspeople? Made calls? Sent money for abortion travel? Attended a protest?

No? What the fuck are you waiting for, someone else to do the work for you? If you want to save America, then let's get to work.

We need EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US to be engaged and furious and to do whatever we can. Whining about the past won't do a damn thing.


Tell me what you've done.

I've written my Senators and I've donated money for abortion funds. Tell me what you've done.
