I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Currently Reading: Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett
This was my introduction to Terry Pratchett forever ago. Fun to revisit now, and with Peter Serafinowicz as Death and Bill Nighy as the footnotes. (Clever way to do the footnotes, honestly.)
