Angry callers flooded the FBI “tip line” that targets trans health care. They gummed up the works. Caused chaos. Just by making a phone call. #goodtrouble

Folks often ask what they can do – how they can make a difference – whether what they’re doing matters. So I wanted to tell a story of how a group of women protesting in the rain in the 1960s changed the world – without knowing it. You never know who you’ll inspire in this glorious life.

Ah yes. Clearly the best way to show that Dems are the party of the people is to sidle up to the guy who has stolen our data, destroyed government infrastructure, and personally caused worldwide suffering and death. Or - just hear me out - we could tell him to GTFO.

We stopped at our favorite local bookstore today. The front table as you enter is full of Staff Picks. The titles glared at me. 1984. Parable of the Sower. Animal Farm. “Nice current events section,” I said to the person behind the register. They laughed. It wasn’t really a joke.

Truly, this would be life-changing. It's something we've been building at Every State Blue by creating grassroots communities that do this work in Red States on our own. And we've done it without funding. If we had a FRACTION of $20 million to expand we could change the entire Democratic landscape.

My son is 13. I explained to him that every time I see a cybertruck I cringe for the person driving it - a small man desperately trying to look bigger than he is. But what I think is most effective? I laugh at them.

You can tell she’s annoyed that she has to apologize. The flip statement, delivered with the soft voice you use with kindergartener, that she was glad the tooth fairy didn’t come up. An interesting segue into talking about Jesus and eternal life. Crack comms team she’s got there. Keep it up.

This is absolutely heart wrenching. Monsters. She was in immigration court - following the process, following the rules. Not a “threat”. With kids in school. No reason for this behavior, beyond performative cruelty. Every last Republican needs to answer for these monstrosities. Every last one.

🚨 🚨 VIDEO Ohio politicians are at it again. Pretending that there is some crisis of non-citizens voting in Ohio (a lie), to make voting harder for countless Ohioans and current Ohio voters. Here’s a clip from my testimony earlier this week:

The patronizing smirk and the “heaven’s sakes” especially get to me. How dare someone with government-guaranteed healthcare AND a government salary lecture any one of us about reacting to the crushing stress caused by even the possibility of losing healthcare.

$700 million in vaccine development cancelled. Meanwhile, the budget includes $300 million for Trump’s golf trips to Florida - even though there’s a “Trump National Golf Club - Washington DC” just down the road. Priorities.

In MO, our GOP state legislature refused to adopt a prescription drug monitoring program because they were worried the government would have access to the data. For over a decade we were the lone holdout. Now that they’re literally creating a database of autistic people? Crickets.

When I said earlier that we are living in concentric circles of stress, this is the kind of thing I was referring to. "Send it back to the states!" they said. "Let the people speak!" they said. Red State Dems knew what they meant. Sometimes I hate being right.

It's just common sense. "Healthy" kids can have high risk family members. Denying the ability to protect them is cruel. Imagine the psychic damage done to a 5th grader who brings COVID home to a mom who's undergoing chemotherapy? Or a sibling with cystic fibrosis? Or a grandma with COPD? Monsters.

Summer has begun, with all the trappings of relaxation and celebration. But it feels like a costume. Because just below the surface, there’s nagging unease. It’s the white noise of America – the constant anxiety and stress of living in a country that’s sliding into authoritarianism.

Over the last few weeks, the official beginning of summer has loomed on my calendar. It’s a welcome season, of course. But it feels different. Hollow, maybe. Or flat. I thought maybe you felt the same way.

I’ve started watching Andor. The parallels to what’s happening in our country are just … It’s a good reminder that as unique as this moment is, the struggle between freedom and fascism is a refrain. An echo. A throughline connecting us to ancestors and each other, weaving itself into our culture.

Notable that Wired reported this morning that women are diagnosed with diabetes later, perhaps because estrogen plays a role in blood sugar regulation - and we are missing menopausal women with normal BMIs who are no longer metabolizing sugar in the same way. But do go on about cooking classes.
