EEP. Dare we be optimistic?? Yep. My action groups have basically been ignoring Alexander and pushing us all to call Corker. I hope he stays a no.

I know I know - keep the pressure up. 45's game is distraction... but the E Warren/Pocahantas thing... in front of Code Talkers. Who waited so very long for their amazing contributions to even be recognized. Im just crushed. I reread this tonight because my heart is sick and sad. But one thing I know is that we cant give up the fight, not when Im in my warm house, eating good food, wrapping my kid in slightly warmer coat than is absolutely needed, because I can. Over 100 years later, and we are still polluting the soil that doesn't belong to us, still insulting people who fought for us, still ghettoing people on reservations. Im taking my moment to say I just can not, then moving on.
Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are - perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.

I'm so ashamed at the way our country treats the people from whom we stole this very land. The fact that the president of the United States can't even talk for two minutes, to Members of Service whose contributions have been overlooked for far too long, without bitching about a political squabble (which also has literally absolutely nothing to do with him) is utterly disgusting. That he so brazenly utters a racial slur directly in front of the group it targets is beyond shameful. Every single House Republican is complicit in allowing this to continue. He is unfit. Plain and simple.

Ugh, late to this party, but I guess my UO is that I harbor no affection for the royal family. DNW to watch their weddings or hear about their gossip. Even while watching The Crown, which is a great show, all I can think about is what a pointless institution the monarchy is. I lived in London for a couple of years and my British friends (admittedly all leftist academic types) haaaaate the monarchy and want to do away with it - and with all unjust royal titles, the House of Lords, etc. - completely. It codifies and maintains a rigid class structure in the UK that is at odds with most citizens' sense of equality and fairness.

There was chatter in the RISE group last night around a woman planning to run for her seat in 2019. She had some other tweet last night complaining about MSM. Eyeroll. She's pissed off MDA now, so she can consider herself unemployed very soon, lol

Fuck Eric Trump. (I may have replied to this...) Yeah, because that's totally the same thing. I'm fairly certain that tribal leaders across the country have unanimously stated that it's offensive but sure, white dude, you probably know better.

EEP. Dare we be optimistic?? Why did I think it would take 2 GOP no votes to kill it in committee? Maybe I was not math-ing correctly. Everything I've read suggests that a single Republican defection would kill it in committee. Obviously with a floor vote, we'd need 3. But just 1 in committee.

Part of me wants to say go for it dude, because your presence can't possibly help... but that would require faith I just can't muster this morning...

Is it bad that my first thought was, "Damn, that tweet is grammatically correct and rhetorically effective, even if dead wrong and manipulative"? THE STANDARDS OF INTELLIGENCE I EMPLOY WHEN READING ANYTHING FROM THIS FAMILY ARE SO FUCKING LOW.

Plus you know they also find the movie Pocahontas offensive since it plays fast and loose with their history.

I've been accused of mom shaming now. I'm legit cackling. Fun story: my SIL called me "trash like what you marchers left on the street" for taking my daughter to the women's march. I took the conversation offline and texted her that it hurt me that she would get so personal and attack my parenting choices, assuring her that I had assessed the risk of attending the march in our small city. She replied that she was "just being honest and would tell me when I was endangering my child and acting like trash." This is a person who has a toddler and a (locked) cabinet of guns in her living room, about which I have never uttered a peep. #family #sweetmemories
