Chicago! Remember you can show up for your neighbors by doing something as simple as being outside and visible during trick-or-treating on Friday!

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

I know your R reps are garbage and it feels pointless to call them.
But please call them today and tell them not to vote for Trump's murderous budget.
The call costs nothing. The fact that it MIGHT save lives is all that matters.

House Minority Leader Jeffries has been speaking for nearly five hours, which buys us more time to put some last-minute pressure on Republicans.
Call your GOP representative: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Or plan a visit to your local congressional office: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Writer friends! Next week, my Writer's Portfolio class will be talking about coping with and navigating rejection as part of sustaining a writing life. I'd love to be able to offer experiences and advice beyond my own. If you'll share yours here, I'll read the whole thread to them. Thank you!
