    OK. Cool. Stop trying to be some kind of social media hero that feeds the trolls and fuck use the electrical official powers you have to their full extent, please. We can’t pussyfoot around for another day.

          I figured, but I’m incapable of letting an opportunity to make a bad pun pass me by.

          Tangentially related book recommendation for folks wandering through the thread who are disappointed that AOC isn’t announcing she’s taking over the role of Storm for the X-Men: The Power by Naomi Alderman. They turned it into a TV series, though I don’t know anything about the adaptation. The premise is that women across the world all of a sudden develop the ability to generate electric fields (like an electric eel) powerful enough to stun or kill. The book then details, through a variety of narrators, the social and political ramifications of this across a variety of cultures. I thought it was a fun yarn, at any rate.

        I dunno, maybe constantly raise a voice in actual congress without giving the GOP the advantage of adhering to useless decorum would be a massive start.
