Democrats have offered cussing and scolding after the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. We need a real plan of attack, now.

I've emailed my senator Chuck Grassley and he doesn't give a shit. I hope that people in dem represented areas are at least writing to put some pressure on their reps. It stacks up over time and all these cunts want to stay in power. Every email makes them feel less likely to lose the next election, and they may start doing something to try and garner more support, even if they don't want to.

I do agree with contacting them, but honestly they are only listing to their overpaid strategic consultants who tell them that "playing dead" is enough to win when Make America Go Away movement is so unpopular.

You're right, but this is all least the bare minimum.
