Today is the 50 yr anniversary of the SCOTUS’s Roe v Wade. With focused effort, it took the radical right 49 years to overturn it. Never forget there are people fighting relentlessly against women’s rights. (And all human rights.) Democracy demands we stay vigilant.

for those that claim the 2024 election is the decisive “referendum” on authoritarianism and white nationalism,
I hate to break it to you, but states like West Virginia and Tennessee are already in the throngs of competitve authoritarianism

There needs to be a serious conversation with TVA-, , our electrical systems, & other state/local officials about how to avoid rolling blackouts and this level of disruption. Whether we need to improve infrastructure, management, or policies, we need to do it.

Meeting people where they are is foundational to movement work. It’s not about being comfortable, it’s about empathy and understanding. Remember, someone met each of us where we were. It’s imperative for those doing the work to do the same. It’s the only path to change.

My wife spent time in the hospital this week. On the hospital’s paperwork I was listed as her emergency contact; my relationship to her listed as wife. We fought for this right. Thank you to and thank you to everyone who voted to protect our marriage.

“There are all kinds of ways he can address this issue, we’re just asking he does something. These kids are our responsibility.”
