#TN07 things aren't going that well are they? Everything costs more, this thanksgiving won't have the same "bounty" of food you're used to, and you are faced with skyrocketing health care costs. Want to change all that? That starts by voting for @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Thanksgiving in America should not be fraught with this amount of insecurity. We deserve better, we can fight for it by voting and by our participation in our democracy. Big Election on December 2nd - Early voting open now in #TN07 #thanksgiving

You know what one of the highest compliments is being a therapist? When someone I haven’t spoken to in a decade reaches out (out of the blue) to ask if I can support someone they care about. Feeling so grateful to do this work. ❤️

Remind me who we are supposed to be terrified is peeing next to me in a bathroom or reading to kids at a library? Because these emails are telling me it’s not the drag queens and trans people. It’s like they were lying the whole time.

People who are shocked or horrified that MAGA acolytes are continuing to defend their dear leader CLEARLY didn’t grow up with adults making excuses for rape-y youth pastors. It’s disappointing, but not the least bit surprising.

“Well what if [Democrat/Progressive Name] is in the Epstein files?” I’m sorry, is that meant to be a real question? Because it’s asked like there’s more than one answer. You prosecute the ever-loving shit out of that person immediately, and publicly condemn them. It really is that simple.
