@mcbride.house.gov Thank you for your service and your representation. You’re a beacon of hope for all of our children. I can’t imagine how hard it is to reach this amazing professional milestone and have to serve with the current levels of hate. You do so with fierce grace. Thank you!

They aren’t even trying to hide the blatant grift anymore.

This woman gets it! Good for her for speaking out against these bullies who are only pretending to care about women’s sports. www.keloland.com/keloland-com...

Our democracy is crumbling to pieces, and it’s hard not to feel helpless, but these cute ducks came to visit for my birthday. Taking joy where I can find it.

When it’s your first March in California

And South Dakota continues to wonder why they can’t get their young people to stay in state. www.safehome.org/data-lgbtq-s...

These are the moments we live for. 😆

The chaos this week has been so cruel and demoralizing. I know that’s the point but it’s still so hard to watch and to handle the uncertainty of not knowing if you’ll still have a job tomorrow. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
