a) it's worth looking into what they pay their district office staff. having been gerrymandered into an out of Lamer Schmutz's district, I know he pays two district office staffers for half days--one for his Austin office, one for his San Antonio office--so they don't qualify for federal benefits and have to work 2nd jobs. they get to be yelled at on behalf of an asshole who only shows up when he has to campaign--which is not often--for less! I'm sure he's not the only one. so let's be super nice to their staff while we're yelling shame at them.

b) in an interesting turn of events today, Sen. Cruz decided that talking to Dem protesters was better than talking to Sid Miller's friends (shocking, not shocking). seems Heidi still likes his 2020 chances. http://www.star-telegram.co...

c) bonus! State Rep. Jonathan "Sticky" "Former Fetus" Stickland is having his supporters flood my rep's office with calls threats because she filed a bill to overturn the campus carry legislation and he's a good Christian like that. it's not going to pass, it's symbolic, but he's still being a massive, gaping asshole about it. so we're saying, "I know you are, but what am I?" to his phones. enjoy yourselves.

Speak for yourself. I agree that I have white privilege, but I disagree with the rest of what you say. I didn't vote for Trump. His BS is not only affecting Muslims and other POC, but affect us poor whites, too. And if I'm given an opportunity to make a short and concise criticism of Peter Roskam's support of Cheeto's policies, I will not sit down, and I will not shut up, because I will be making a point that his policies will negatively affect EVERYBODY, black, brown, and white. I'm not just in this for myself.
