Thoughts? How can we build bridges with people who deny reality? Or how do we, as Democrats, progressives, liberals, secularists, scholars, educators, environmentalists, women's rights, LGBT, and decent empathetic people encourage engagement from the 40% of Americans who watch from the sidelines?

I am honored to announce I have received a Three Star endorsement from @lv4allorg.bsky.social ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ...my first EVER endorsement and I cannot think of a better local, grassroots, progressive group than this to support & represent in my candidacy for Lower Saucon Township Council. Thank you! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Why does it take seeing a dead child to change someone's tone on vaccines? I appreciate that RFK Jr. advocated for environmental protections earlier in his career. He would have been a better choice for the EPA ...

Last week I had the privilege of speaking to a packed house at @lv4allorg.bsky.social I felt energized by the other candidates & appreciated the warm welcome & opportunity to share my story & values with this organization. Check out the link below to hear what I had to say: youtu.be/q4VsVZcSxNg?...

πŸ”₯This is fineπŸ”₯ ...at least it's #FRITURDAY!

This weekend Saturday 4/5 at noon will be one of the largest national protest events planned to date. Let's send Donald Trump, Elon Musk & the MAGA GOP establishment a message: #HandsOff ! Find more information and a location nearby...

On this #TransgenderDayOfVisibility I am standing up to say it is wrong to deny the biological reality of transgender & intersex individuals or to discriminate against the fundamental human rights of bodily autonomy & freedom of expression by falsely equating ones sexuality with immorality.

Perfect day for a ride on the Saucon Valley Rail Trail...followed by a rehydration stop at Lost Tavern Brewery πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸ»

Looks like a fine day...for some orange cat behavior. Happy #CATURDAY!!! 🌞😼

Measles from unvaccinated populations in Texas is now spreading locally. This is easily preventable...and no, I don't mean by not traveling to Texas. Let me put this bluntly: vaccines work.πŸ’‰βœ…οΈ

I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS!! HAPPY FIRST #FRITURDAY OF SPRING!!! πŸŒ»πŸ—πŸŒ»

How is defunding our parks, opening up public land to widespread logging, stripping environmental & endangered species protections, and the mass firing of people who are dedicated to advocacy, education and preserving & protecting our shared natural resources...Making America Great Again?
