Pol (-) 

My mom wants me to visit for Thanksgiving. I’m giving a lot of thought to how much I want to spend time around people who will shortly be voting in favor of my civil rights being removed. Right now the answer is “not much”.

I'm going to send her a message outlining these thoughts, but I'm not optimistic about the outcome.

@taki I sent her a thing. Basically a "Here's what your party supports. How do you plan to vote?" No response yet. I'm psyching myself up to be more assertive with them than I've ever had to be before. We'll see how it goes.

Better than expected.
