CNN: You're asking the Trump admin to stop threatening federal workers' employment. How are you leveraging this as a member of Congress? GERRY CONNOLLY: "I have the bully pulpit and I also think we have reason on our side. Elon Musk has no authority to issue the kind of Twitter that he issued."

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women. Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net. Writing HOLDING IT TOGETHER was a labor of love and fury and I'm so grateful to share it with you all #PubDay www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
