House Republicans just rammed through the #SAVEAct - a dangerous bill that would make it harder for eligible Americans to vote.

As the top election official in a state with one of the highest voter turnout rates, I can tell you with certainty: This bill solves nothing and helps no one. #mepolitics

Pledge to celebrate International Women's Day by finding your next right thing to do. You are stronger than you know. And we are all stronger together.

4. Do NOT pre-obey, and call others out on it when they do it. We know that Trump waffles on his orders when he gets pushback, just like he has when Trudeau pushed back on the tariffs. He is weak, and we can't just hand over power when he barks.

3. Be loud and disrupt. The world we are living in today isn't normal, and we can't let ourselves or others simply get used to it. Speak out in whatever way you can.

2. Organize. Talk to your friends and neighbors and co-workers. Let them know that you know this isn't normal. Then join together and start making plans.

1. Call our federal delegation. Every. Single. Day. Even if you think they won't listen today, make sure they have the data showing that their constituents believe in a fair and just government.

Both of them live in CD2, so this might be difficult. Don't take their absence as disinterest!

As we get closer to the #DNC vote, I want to express my strong support for @kenmartin.bsky.social for Chair. Ken Martin has the experience we need to ensure candidates with Democratic values are elected. Fundraising to organizing to visionary action - Ken is the leader we can trust.

I was home sick on President Carter's last day in office, the same day the hostages were released. I remember being frustrated (I was 8 and wanted to watch tv), but I also remember his grace on a very emotionally charged day. President Carter led by example. May his memory be an inspiration.

Labor rights are human rights.

On #HumanRightsDay, we affirm the fundamental rights of workers to organize and collectively bargaining in a union.

Just had a deep conversation with a friend who realized her therapist doesn't share her Democratic values. The personal is political... Who's got an amazing therapist recommendation for a progressive business-owning mom? Telehealth works so not location specific.
