Jackie’s name was big enough to be restored. The many others who were removed, with the same justification, will not get the same attention.
And that’s the problem.

I was in Olympia today to sound the alarm on Republicans' all-out assault on Medicaid that will cut Americans off of their health care, force rural hospitals to close their doors, & blow a massive hole in WA states' budget—all to line the pockets of their billionaire buddies.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Moving forward, I plan to focus less on how bad everything is getting and more on sharing ways we can make things around us suck less.
I figure that people are getting an onslaught of the former anyways, and sharing my thoughts on every bad thing isn't helping me either. Solutions incoming!
