I’m a Craniosacral Therapist who works with all ages, and I love working with the babies! Mom to a teenager, happily married for 26 years. Trying to figure out what is mine to do as we move forward in all this.

Yesterday proved why North Carolina needs an Attorney General who can challenge unlawful executive orders.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

This is a must-read and is also the first comprehensive post mortem I’ve read working off the vote cast data (which is the real deal) as opposed to the dubious exit polling.
