Below is a post on facebook right now, which sums up exactly why Jeff Sessions is one of the most dangerous men in the world. This is not a thin-skinned, soft-handed rich boy, petulantly texting in wee hours about his hurt feelings. This is a man who is directly prosecuting and jailing citizens of this country for exercising one of our most basic rights: to laugh at our elected officials and disrupt leaders and proceedings that are immoral, unethical, and unconstitutional.
Brock Turner served 3 months in jail for raping a woman.
Desiree Fairooz is facing a year in prison for laughing at a man.

That we live in a country where someone like Brock Turner is coddled by the Justice System for raping a women, is an even greater insult to this most serious injury.
Please, express your outrage by calling the Justice Department and your representatives, but join PAG2STL in sending Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III a personal note letting him know that whenever he speaks, you are also laughing, and disrupting his proceedings. Assure him that when he- and hopefully the entire administration of 45- is removed from office, you will be laughing very hard.

PS- I'm looking for something that would make a good card. So far this image:

EDIT: OH- and this:

PAG2STL is to be published monthly. The first issue, 5 March 2016, is the Template For Change. Subsequent issues will focus on themes and local power structures (transportation, courts, education). Join the Armchair Revolution and Phone It In. Commit to 5 additional actions for change, 11 months a year. REGISTER TO VOTE! (Even if you don't vote.) A city of 100% registered voters would make us a very powerful political entity. That alone would create positive change.

DON'T WAIT FOR ELECTIONS TO TELL THE HOUSE HOW YOU FEEL
If our government is determined to "Make America Sick Again" be sure to repay the favor. Yes, vote these people out of office, but even if you don't live in their district, call them! What these people did effects every single American.
Let them hear your suffering. To quote Zora Neale Hurston: "If you are silent about your pain, they will kill you and say you enjoyed it."
Also, it is time to go on the offense! We need Universal Health Care. Even the ACA is not enough!
