iwillvote.com is a website run by the US Democrats (visiting democrats.org and clicking “vote” at the top menu opens IWillVote; you might need to click ≡ first on mobile).
IWillVote directs you to resources letting you check your voter registration, vote from abroad, and more.
Platner: We are all beginning to realize — right, left, Republican, Democrat — we are just there to be exploited by a small group of people who, in some ways, are kind of running the world for their own benefit.
And the Epstein files show that in glaring fashion.
Yup. Thanks. This became part of my Team USA Joyscroll album on my iPhone #hannahrad #stillwerise

This is catching on. There’s nothing Trump hates more than being ignored.
Every Democrat—no, every person with any decency—should be a no show for the State of the Union.
Thirsty Donald *hates* to be ignored.

I’ve been thinking a lot about third spaces.
Not home. Not work. The places where we gather without performing.
I wrote about what we’ve lost, what we’re rebuilding, and why these spaces matter more than we think.
What’s your third place?
Have a daughter? Want her to have rights?
Every day is a day to get loud.

The SAVE ACT is back - Call your Reps.
Use @5calls.org NO on the SAVE ACT
I wrote about this a year ago. Still applies. Republicans are reworking this and resubmitting this week 2/9/2026.
Name change? Your right to vote is on the block.

Joy is resistance. Dancing is rebellion.
In the vibrant late 70s/early 80s Chicago scene,
it was black artists who laid the foundation for this universal language,
giving us the beats that still resonate today.

The things that matter, like fairness, inclusion, and opportunity, do not simply appear. They take attention, courage, and consistent effort. Sometimes fighting is quiet. Acting with care and intention. It is in these small, steady choices that change happens and impact lasts. #WomenWednesday
Joy isn't a perk, it's fuel for doing brave work.
Gotta have both.
Sending you goodness today.

In case facts still matter..
Yes! all of us should be calling all of our reps and also those across the aisle and the majority and minority leaders. Loud and proud. Some people don't call their own - all about habits and using one's voice.
Time to make your calls.
@5calls.org
Wake.
Move body.
Coffee.
5 Calls App.
Work.
Repeat.
69,000 Californians have already called. It matters.
But it’s only 0.17% of the state. Change doesn’t need all, it needs 3.5%.
In California, that’s 1.38 million voices.
We’re not there yet, time to pick up the phone & leave those messages.
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
📽️ NEW: The DOJ is seeking access to Americans’ most sensitive voter data.
Marc Elias explains why this unprecedented grab is central to voter suppression, election subversion and litigation designed to undermine free and fair elections in 2026👇
FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.
Happy New Year & TY GenXer

Oh my goddess. THAT is a toaster. The one I shared is my folks. Curiouser and curiouser. Thanks for the recommendation.
Good. Wonder how that compares YoY for the past while…
Yay movies! Ooh cool. Will have to check that out too.
Well I found the perfect toaster that throws shade.
Let’s turn that to 11. Lol.
Get thee to the movies. We always do a family go to the theatre over the holidays evening we LOVED #SongSungBlue
