Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse: if one of them is yours, blow up their damn phones. Corker is mine. I plan on calling so much, they feel tempted to block my number.

Guys I am really feeling like this is the end of democracy in America as we know it. I don’t see us crawling out of this hole anytime soon. I’m not trying to be all, “the sky is falling”, but it is. We are certainly not going to crawl out of this hole for a long time - we will feel the repercussions of the Trump era for generations.
My only hope is that Americans look back at this and say holy fuck, no, never again, and work like hell to fix what he is breaking.

Also I can walk letters into their DC offices if they're from a Constituent. You'd have to trust me with your full name and zip code but so far I haven't skin suited anyone

THIS GUYS. THIS. And that's not say that if you have someone else, you shouldn't be calling, especially if you have a Republican or a Democrat in a red state. Even Dems in blue states need to hear they are doing a good job.

Brief moment of levity: Scrolling through my Twitter there are none million tweets raging about SCOTUS, the Muslim ban and the refugee crisis on the Southern border.
And then, out of nowhere, Henry Winkler caught a large fish thing

I think I have got to go out and get some Oreos to binge. And resistbot my senators all night. Not like they care. They’re probably just thrilled.

I highly recommend looking at his page.

Sasse is garbage. He’s already made a statement that we need to confirm a new justice before October. I hate him so much. I think I hate him more than most republicans because he tries to play both sides but is ultimately still trash.

Damn straight Chuck Totally true, and also Mitchnocurr. They could, in theory, refuse to participate in any quorum votes. I saw that floated as an option for ending the family separations. It would work here too.

I hope Democrats use every single tactic of obstruction available They're called obstructionists anyway, they might as well live up to it.

It’s going to take more than one. If a group of 4-5 would band together. But no R is going to be “the” vote that sinks it (this assumes no McCain.)

I can’t see any reason why republicans would not vote to place a conservative judge. We are screwed. They are not concerned with hypocrisy.
Not to say we shouldn’t call and voice our disgust, but in this case I don’t think it will change anything. 😭😭

I’m not visiting my parents next week. We’ve had it planned for a while, but I’ve got to figure out how to get out of it with the least amount of drama. They live in Trump country and I just can’t. Like 90% voted for him. While they both claim to have not voted for him, I know they’re overjoyed at the possibility of Roe vs Wade being overturned and I just have no desire to be around them. I know my mom is going to be upset and I don’t even have a good excuse or lie for her.

Basically I have no space in my life for people who choose to embrace their privilege, bury their heads in the sand, and ignore the world burning around them. The ones who vote third party or don’t vote at all and say things like, “It’s not that bad, it always works out!” Because they are not the targeted group.
