Fellow whites,
It's on us to dismantle white supremacy. After the election, we see how badly we failed. Last year, I put out a blog series on antiracism basics. Read, share, maybe we can help white people see there's nothing to be scared of racial equity.

In honor of Veterans Day, this is my grandfather, Delbert Driggers. He served in the Navy during WW2. He died when my mom was 6, so I never knew him or learned his stories, but I wish I had. Happy Veterans Day Eve to all the veterans and veteran families out there!

If Democratic voters (including centrists, liberals, progressives, and even some leftists) had stuck by Democrats in 2010 and 2014, the ACA would be a lot stronger now. If they had shown up for Dems in 2016, we wouldn't be here at all and women would still have reproductive rights. But no.

It is breathtaking that the Trump Administration has fought so hard to keep food from hungry families.
However, here in Washington state, we've caught up on the SNAP benefits that were delayed due to the shutdown. We're now delivering full benefits.

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
