I literally cannot get out of bed this morning because of this fuckery. Like. What’s the point?
All right, all right. Here it is, the thread I mentioned that was my only hope and consolation. It’s long, so I’m starting with one screencap, and then it’s transcription. If you love it, click through and donate to the original author.
[Transcription of Twitter thread by @alexandraerin:] Alright, babies. I got my drink on and I got my think on, and so here’s the thing I want us all to remember.
Paul Ryan didn’t stand around a keg predicting he’d dismantle Medicare. He planned on it.
I point this out because I’m going to talk about how we get out of this mess, and I know I’m going to get a bunch of people asking me: “Do you really think that will happen?”
No. No, I do not think it will happen.
Because I’m not making predictions.
I’m making plans.
Whether they pass this monstrosity tonight or not, we are going to nail them to the fudging wall they keep threatening to build with it in 2018 and 2020. We’re going to be so mad and we’ll turn out so hard their voter suppression schemes won’t be enough to save them.
And when we have removed their majorities in Congress and taken Trump out of our White House, we are going after his judges. We’re going to call them the tainted judges. We’re going to put an asterisk by every decision they make.
We’re going to fund the appeals of anyone who is found guilty or has an appeal denied under the tainted judges. We’re going to challenge their legitimacy at every turn, because they were appointed illegitimately.
Until the day that Gorsuch resigns in shame, we’re going to call the Supreme Court “the Star Chamber”, because it’s got an asterisk on it.
We’re going to get journalists to do it, too. The old guard won’t, but the new guard is moving in. Citizen-journalists making a name for themselves. And hey, there are vacancies in some top positions right now, which will create more openings in the ranks. I bet more are coming.
