My little brother called this morning because he was upset he couldn't vote against this awful discrimination. It was his fault - he wasn't registered to vote because he didn't know he had to be (He had moved since the last time he voted in any election).
But I bet some loud screaming and yelling and anger in his neighborhood might have led him to the information he needed. He will be prepared for November but he's going to bed angry and upset tonight.
Yes, there are a LOT of issues that need to be yelled and screamed about but just because there are a lot of things that need attention doesn't mean you slack off on one of them.
Civil rights are pretty fucking important. The time for politeness is fucking over.
