We should NEVER calm the fuck down when the Nazis are trying to shut down our rights and freedoms.

Rick,

A modest proposal. This is in response to the "Strategy" session you had with Trippi and Co. the other day. There was no strategy, just lamentations. I understand that everyone moves at their own pace and that you all are working hard to keep the herd together, but might some of us who are further along get some crumbs of advise on action we can take. The Outrage Crack I've been on for 6 months has started to lose it's tang, I would like to move in more of an active direction. To date:

1. Protest marching -check (I lost my protest virginity at 68, woo hoo!)

2. Write to my esteemed congresspeople -check

3. Send buttloads of money MONTHLY to Rick, Tim, Elizabeth and every lefty civil rights group and ACTBLUE joker not nailed down -check

Consider my dilemma: the Dems are dead to me, firebrands are few and thin on the ground, none of whom are in my fair state. Ossoff vs MTG? Oh, ok, I guess so. Jon is such a nice young man. He's Mister Rogers, I want the Tasmanian Fucking Devil. I am looking forward to their Senate cage match, though. There will be extinction-level popcorn shortages in Atlanta then.

But I want someone who is going to beat the motherfuckers senseless with a flamethrower. Sideways. Or at least humiliate them on a daily basis.

Please start a blog or something, anything, for those of us who have ENOUGH outrage to last for a while, but are short on action items. That would be most appreciated.

Yours most graciously and etc.

George of Atlanta
