Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Fear ≠ Hopelessness, and I won’t cower in the face of bigotry. A #poem about the will to survive.
Because love may not stop a bullet,
But it can fuel the fire that keeps you standing.
And if the day comes
When we must defend our lives to protect the light within us,
Let them know:
We are ready.
Because love may not stop a bullet,
But it can fuel the fire that keeps you standing.
And if the day comes
When we must defend our lives to protect the light within us,

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

I'm a descendant of Thomas Jefferson, but from the side they don't like to talk about.
My ancestors built Monticello and DC.
My ancestors escaped slavery and fought for the union.
I didn't ask to be part of the American legacy, but I am. So I'm going to shape it in my own image. That's a promise.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week
and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

Mentally I’m here today. Back in the cozy, quiet comfort of an isolated cabin in Gatlinburg with my boyfriend and dogs.

It’s not just about now,
It’s about the ghosts of all the times
I said “no”
And it was heard as “maybe,”
Of all the times my voice was swallowed
By someone else’s need
For more,
For control,
For something I didn’t give.

Under the Bright Bluesky 🦋
Beneath the stretch of endless sky,
Where sunbeams lace the clouds with light,
We gather close, our hands entwined,
A tapestry of hope held tight.
