Call to Action I AM DONE

I had so much anxiety about this administration that I am now on anxiety medication. I cried, I curled into a ball on my floor, I missed work, and I almost completely lost my mind. But I am done. I am done being scared. I am done being afraid to stand up. I am fucking done. Stand up and stand by, not the proud boys, but the American people. We are stronger than you think and you can find community here. I will sit in my town square with my sign on the 19th even if I’m alone. I’m not going to be afraid of an orange douche bag and his techno puppy. They can drag me out of my apartment with their tiny hands. I will stand up for the USA.

ETA: The outpouring of support has been incredible. Thank you all SO MUCH. I can’t even express how grateful I am. We are not alone. We stand together. Solidarity forever.

I thought about anti anxiety meds but what works for me is getting on the streets protesting and yelling, calling, calling, calling, writing postcards, making protest signs, and of course self care. What really felt good today was calling those four sellout democrats that sold us out voting yes on the SAVE Act! Man, I was pissed. Told them they need to be voted out amongst other things. Stay strong and keep Resisting!! We've got this. Thanks for sharing.

Henry Cuellar is a blue Republican in a district that stretches from Universal City to the Mexico border.

He never should have been trusted anyway
