View submission: i feel totally cynical about what's happening right now
you see legislation all over the country that never would have been passed a few weeks ago. There's also a lot more political awareness and mobilization. If you can't celebrate those victories, maybe it's because you're not invested in your community or don't care about the people who it benefits?
