I would love to see my followers join me in protesting a move that’s already impacting folks very close to me
If not now, when?

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to stop solely pointing out the obvious problems and start publicly talking about how to address them.
We know our democracy is unstable and unhealthy. What are you gonna do about it?
Cease the platitudes and broad statements. Get specific and talk about actions.
