Peoples lives aren’t metaphors. Demand that our elected officials talk about our lives & their godawful plans in plain honest language, because it’s our lives. We aren’t a house remodeling job, we aren’t a car engine to tinker with, we aren’t a balance sheet. We are the people. - ThreadSky

As I wrote for my organization’s newsletter, the fed government is playing a game of jenga - putting peoples’ health & lives at risk https://aepc.us/another-block-bites-the-dust/

Government of the people for the people shall NOT perish from the face of this earth! We DEMAND the politicians answer our questions and do as WE SAY! We do NOT WANT TO BE RULED!

I keep wanting one of the dem lawmakers who are having a townhall to video tape questions their constituents have for their GOP lawmakers that fucking ignore them and play them on the floor. Have them actually ignore these people on the record.

Very well said!

True, but there's only a handful that care; not enough to make a difference.

Some days I wake up and just can’t even wrap my head around what is happening and what’s to come. So many lives completely upturned. Economic health, mental heath, physical health, ad nauseum-all tanked. And to what end? Once the endpoint is achieved (whatever tf that is) what’s next?

Their metaphors are all designed to placate people into thinking that the jar of poison they’re offering is actually medicine. It’s really demeaning.

They really don't see us at all, we are just pawn pieces to be played with. They are deeply deeply psychotic. That's why we have to make our voices heard and get in their face. Make them uncomfortable.

Enough with the dehumanizing metaphors.

We are people—breathing, bleeding, and fighting to survive policies made by those who’ll never feel their consequences

Absolutely.

Government officials should be mandated by law to wear their sponsors names whenever in official capacity. Like a nasdaq jacket. Much more obvious that way for the people to know what their motives are. And way easier for the constituents to influence them by canceling these businesses!
