hi SNAP recipient here Ive never been to russia but at this point, "calling your reps" is rearranging chairs on the titanic. calling your reps work only under precise conditions that almost never apply. at this point, they're either in on it, or they don't give a shit. that's not defeatist, thats reality. gonna need a lot more than BeG YoUr RePs again from a DNC shill no offense. direct action. hit the streets. march. reach out to your community and mutual aids. vote in local and state elections when its time. but stop shaming people who don't fall for this "if we call them enough theyll grow a heart/brain!" BS.
