I so excited to be returning to my repro-roots. Abortion is a winning issue and I am thrilled to be part of a team working to elect reproductive freedom candidates.
I watched Wendy Davis’s filibuster and the crowds at the Texas Capitol from my parents home in VA and something clicked. I knew that I wanted to move to Texas and get involved however I could in the fight for abortion access. That filibuster changed my life.
I am so happy to see HB 300 being prioritized. I worked on this bill as a

staffer in 2019.
There is an amazing coalition of young period equity, and child advocates in Texas who have not given up on making period products and diapers tax free
NEW: Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan has unveiled the first four priority bills.
One of the bills, HB300, would repeal the sales tax on baby diapers and wipes, and on feminine hygiene products.
Phelan says more priorities will be released in the upcoming days.

Jamie Lee Curtis wonders why artists don’t have concerts during the day rather than night:
“Why are there no matinees? I'm not gonna go see Coldplay if they start their show at 9 and there's an opening act. I want to hear Coldplay at 1 PM.”
It’s LinkedIn official and I cannot be MORE excited. I am thrilled to be part of this phenomenal team and so grateful to be here in this critical time.
No wasting time. We are going to build, win, and do the hard stuff to restore our rights.

I've seen enough: Janet Protasiewicz defeats Daniel Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result flips ideological control of the court from conservative to liberal, a huge victory for the pro-choice side.
I hate the DC 24 year old influencers who live alone in a luxury apartment and wake up at 5 am to go to solidcore.
I want to see the ones living in a group home in Columbia heights who eat jumbo slice at 3 am.
Dave and I met while I was at the LBJ school and he was at UT Law. We made it through school, a pandemic, abortion bans, winter storms, career changes, and a cross country move. We are so excited for the future

Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service are embarking on a co-headlining tour to celebrate the 20th anniversaries of 'Transatlanticism' and 'Give Up'
Breaking News: Abortion pills can soon be purchased at local U.S. pharmacies with a prescription, the FDA said, a move that could greatly expand access.
After months of trying to confuse voters, Glenn Youngkin finally comes clean—he is promising to deliver an abortion ban.
If Republicans take control of the Virginia General Assembly they'll do just that.
The stakes couldn't be higher. Get out and VOTE!
Should I be concerned that when I told my wedding DJ I wanted him to play First Day of my Life by Bright Eyes for the wedding party procession he responded “ok got it Mr. Brightside”
🎉 Virginia voters helped secure a Democratic majority in the state senate!
These repro freedom champions will remain a brick wall against anti-abortion Republicans seeking to pass an abortion ban in the state. Congratulations to everyone who made this victory possible!
