Short rant ahead so listen up:

1. I am a lifelong coward. Conflict averse like you wouldn’t believe. People angry at me feels like death.

2. Offhand I can think of no fewer than three occasions when I have deliberately risked my career on a principle. Including once where I actually torpedoed my own job without another one lined up, because I couldn’t believe in what I was being asked to do.

3. Just last year I organized a group of trusted friends to lock arms together and stand up to a bully we used to look up to as a leader, even though I for one was terrified and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one.

4. If I can do these things…

5. … TAKE A F*CKING LESSON GOP SENATORS.

That’s my rant. Have a nice day.
