Just tried to email AG Bailey's (MO) office to oppose MO's involvement in Texas vs. Becerra (repealing 504). A few problems: 1) Character count is very low 2) Captcha not working no matter how many times I clicked I was not a robot. Had to call and work my way through to find a human.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important https://thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lonely-but-beautiful-actions

I am DISGUSTED by Missouri's AG signing on to the Texas vs. Becerra lawsuit. Disgusted, yet not surprised. I am pushing my professional association to fight back and am working with my city to do the same. Setting precedents for responses, not relying on them.

Did some comparison this morning. MSNBC is covering the FBI firings, DOGE, and big dip in the stock markets. Fox is covering immigrant deportation and Netanyahu to the White House. Villain vs hero complex. No wonder people are divided and confused and don’t believe anything that is reported.

I keep repeating my retirement account investor’s words…invest for the long term. I am now very worried about what the “long term” will be for investments, my retirement account included.

1/ Your overwhelm is the goal—it’s not accidental. The chaos, the flood of news, the constant crises? The negativity. It’s a strategic manipulation designed to disorient and exhaust you. Here’s how it works and how you can fight back. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Congratulations to Ken Martin, the new Chair of the DNC. DemCast and our tens of thousands of digital volunteers are eager to work alongside @kenmartin.bsky.social and his team to finally make gains against the right wing’s disinformation machine. There’s a lot of work to do. Let’s go.

I am disgusted Trump said the D.C. plane crash may have been caused by DEI initiatives (his data on this "I have common sense.") He also blamed the California fires on DEI initiatives. I believe he has "blamed" DEI for many things and will continue to do so to fire up his racist base.

So, if RFK, Jr. is appointed, will the government actually put strong funding behind school lunches...or make school breakfasts and lunches free for all???

Medicaid was not supposed to be impacted by the great "pause". However, the portal that state Medicaid offices use to process payments is currently closed. So...how is Medicaid not impacted again?

I love everything about this. Serious or not, we need more lawmakers willing to hold men accountable for their role in contraception and procreation.

In preparation for the People’s March, I offered to host a poster-making party. This person who is in my life, and has opposite political choices-initiated the below exchange. Oh. The. Irony.

“Exuberant” is not the word I would have chosen. Nazi seems more accurate.

As a mother of boys, I am legitimately concerned for battles & wars & physical fights to come. As an aunt to girls, I remain terrified for their personal health and safety. As a woman standing for democracy, time to take care of myself and improve my own physical fitness. Lots of marching ahead.

I was thinking the same thing. So much for “backing the blue”. Disgraceful.

Remember: It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging. But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are. Who we are isn’t up to him.

This is not an autism gesture or stim (Asperger’s isn’t a diagnosis anymore). This is a Nazi salute. Twice. People try to excuse away so many awful behaviors and act like we don’t understand what our eyes see. Stay vigilant and believe what you see.

I am here for this community but also want to connect more locally. Anyone from red #Missouri want to connect? Our state legislative session is going to be another year of defense.

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

I found out yesterday that I will not have an opponent in my city council race! So I will spend the next few weeks continuing to build relationships and working on GOTV for our municipal election in April. Local elections need to be supported and won for us to make progress up the ticket. Let’s go!!

My weakness in regard to advocacy and policy development is that I give way too many people the benefit of the doubt. My resolution for this year is to take people at their word and judge them by their actions. I am going to question, demand difficult conversations and walk away.
