Really, Ty? DeVos is consequential because she's a Jesus Freak (NTTAWWT) who doesn't believe in public education. Which is bad enough, but that kind of disqualifies her from being Secretary of Education, no?
Losing fights still need to be waged so that our elected representatives know that we know that this is all Not Normal. And those of us who are Democrats should tell our Democratic senators that we are paying attention. Kind of a way to say "oh, hello Elizabeth Warren! By the way, oh heroine of the progressives, we saw your "yes" votes and will remember them. Know who hasn't voted "yes" yet? Corporate lackey Kirsten Gillibrand. We will remember her "no" votes."
