Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly—

NCDHHS can’t put health care costs on a credit card.
The longer the General Assembly refuses to fund our Medicaid program, the more they erode our health care system. They need to do their jobs.

Because we also need some moments of joy.. here's a picture of my daughter's slightly spoiled dog. She just got tucked in, given a good night kiss, and told to go to sleep. 😆

This is an important point.
The unspoken assumption behind “raping 15 year olds is different than raping 8 year olds” is that teenage girls are legitimate targets of desire on account of (sometimes) being adult shaped. But if the adult shape was the source of attraction, and not the vulnerability, these men would date women.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Americans deserve better than the eight Democratic Senators who voted on a promise, without a guarantee, to protect the Affordable Care Act.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

100% - just because a candidate is a Dem doesn't mean they are progressive. We need the best and brightest with new ideas and new energy!
Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.
Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I am grateful we live in an age where these instances can be recorded. At some point (soon) I hope people are held accountable for their actions.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Always glad to see people speaking out.
The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
