We've finally turned on our solar panels & I'm excited to see that our first day matches nicely with the simulation that I spent way too long obsessing about. It's so nice when data lines up this well with simulation!

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government.
Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes.
It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!
We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).
I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.
