Political junkie, trying to be a voice for the voiceless. Travelled the world & know how good we have it in AB/Canada, but can't take it for granted. she/her.
Put a gun reform bill on the floor right now. Tonight. While the nation is reeling from this horror. Make the Republicans filibuster it. Make Sinema and Manchin vote down filibuster reform. Don’t let them hide from the agony their obstruction condemns Americans to suffer.

A noose was brought to the door of an event with Canada’s Prime Minister last night
The escalating toxicity being stoked via the extreme-right this year is beyond dangerous. Threats and intimidation have no place in our democracy, full stop.

Please let’s not do the whole rehabilitating Schweitzer’s image thing. He was disrespectful to reporters, screamed at colleagues, his chief of staff was fired after she reported workplace harassment, the Steve Allan donation stuff. He’s not better than the UCP — he fits right in.

11y saw me crying and asked if it was about Uvalde.

Fuck. I’m broken. He’s in sixth grade. A math nerd. A gamer. He’s not a goddamn Marine. He “trains” for *this?*

The moment to stop Uvalde was right after Sandy Hook. After Santa Fe High. After El Paso.
Instead, Abbott made it easier to carry guns in public.
The moment to stop the next slaughter is right now.

If Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott really cared about the children who were killed in Texas today, they would CANCEL their speaking gigs at the NRA conference in Houston this coming Friday.
