No jokes tonight, just a call to arms. (Ferret/Shower Cap)

Hello friends.

Normally, Thursday night is a blog night. I confess, I’m not up to it right now. Like many of you, I’m worn out by the day’s hearings. I don’t think I can muster the usual barrage of poop jokes at the moment, and anyhow it doesn’t feel appropriate tonight.

After nearly two years, I'm just sick and goddamn tired of watching these malicious, profoundly immoral, men abuse their power at the expense of the powerless. I’m sick of this dying, resentment-driven minority demanding that no voices beyond their own be heard. Basically, I’m sick of assholes calling the shots.

So instead of a blog, I’m gonna just re-post the Action Guide I built on my site. I’m proud of it, yeah. I'm proud of my work and of my web designer’s work. I’m proud of the money we’ve already raised.

Most of all, I’m proud of the amazing team of candidates the Democratic Party has assembled to take our country back. Spend some time getting to know them, it’ll be more fun and rewarding than stewing in Kavanaugh coverage all night. These candidates...they’re fucking inspirational. They’re the right people for the job.

And they need your help. Coincidentally, I have a feeling you’re in the mood to fight back tonight.

The solution to the vile display you witnessed this afternoon is, starting in just a few short weeks in the 2018 midterms, to take the power away from these petty, evil little men.

And then to never, EVER give it back.

Ok, enough outta me. Here’s the link, let’s make some NOISE tonight:

I understand you not being up to humor. But like you, I am not giving up. I will fight and GOTV from here to November. If we don't get what we want, I will not give up then, either.

Thanks, Ferret.
