If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu.

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu — the American political reality that proves REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!

Another version of this saying is “If you don’t have a seat at the table; then you are on the menu.” Meaning: there are a lot of people who are going to get rights, privileges, and tax cuts at the expense of front line workers and people living on the margins.

This is most easily seen in areas where both gerrymandering and redistricting are used to disenfranchise minority voters.

Another area where this is seen is in the backlash against a woman’s right to choose. As of September 9th 2023, the young women coming of age in my family have fewer reproductive and healthcare options than did the generation that crossed into womanhood ahead of them.

Representation Matters and if you don’t have a seat at the table you are on the menu; indeed, if you don’t have a seat at the table you ARE the menu!

Random person A: Hey, would you stand on a crafting table for me?

steam table

Located at the oldest restaurant on The Hill, this long table doubles as both a quick hot lunch takeout for the daily special as well as a place to take a shvitz.
Lunch today was great. I hit up the steam table on my way back to the office and got myself a delicious pasta and also got to see Doug nude.
