Texas gerrymandered their Congressional maps so Republicans can keep control of the House. Missouri and North Carolina followed

Unlike the GOP, Democrats are giving people a choice: Do you want more of Trump’s awful policies, or do you want a level playing field in Congress

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN.

Remember this when we can take back the House in November.

The Weight of Always Being One Step Behind What it feels like to try to stay afloat in a system that never quite holds you

"But you can’t keep yourself afloat in something that isn’t there.

And once you feel that, really feel it, it becomes harder to ignore the question underneath it.

Why isn’t it there?"

This line stayed with me after writing this.

I see, thank you for that perspective. It is an agonizing feel like you are just a step behind getting care that makes life a little less worse than what life has dealt you.

Oh how interesting will you say more on that? How does that present itself in your life?

They absolutely do not put up with pity, this is my Dolly. She was the best decision I made in all the years of my recovery.

Something I didn’t say in this piece: the hardest part isn’t recovery, it’s realizing your body doesn’t ask permission anymore.

Have you ever felt that shift?

The Weight of Always Being One Step Behind What it feels like to try to stay afloat in a system that never quite holds you

After my #Cancer diagnosis, I thought the hardest part would be getting better.

I didn’t expect how much of it would be trying to keep up with everything around it.

This week’s piece is about that feeling.

Republicans are funding Trump’s war in Iran with over 1 trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid. His stupidity is costing more than 15 million people their healthcare coverage. Let that sink in for a minute.

We deserve better than this.
Vote them all out of office in November! #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar
