Gardening, quilting, reading and using my middle school teacher voice to resist and organize. Blue hair. Blue votes.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Healthcare should be a basic human right.

People shouldn’t have to fear bankruptcy for needing the ER.

They shouldn’t end up homeless because they became ill.

They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to get Medicaid.

For profit medicine is cruel & punitive.

Universal healthcare saves lives

When you’re a parent of small children, you pray for a moment of peace to shower or drink your coffee or just… think.

When you drop your youngest off at university and the house is so quiet, you long for their joyful noise.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.
