To everyone who expressed interest in running for office, I'm working on setting up a form for a 15-minute 1-on-1 call with me. I had my first meeting today.
If you've responded to that post (or this one), I'll send you a link to the form sometime this week.

If you are trans and want to get involved in politics, let me know and I will set up a time to chat with you about the process and how to take those first steps.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Trump administration is completely consolidating all federal power in the executive. Do you think they ever have any intention of giving that power up ever again? There won't be free and fair elections ever again because they can't allow that kind of power to change hands and be used against them.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.

And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.
