I applied for a data entry job with a temp agency, interviewed, passed a typing test; I'd start next week they said. I get to the job site and they hired me to be a janitor. I insisted there must be a mistake, but no. I was desperate, so I still worked out the week as a janitor for 5 days.

HALF of the campaign was under those conditions. We had to miss events for court. All of our comms had to go through multiple lawyers (more bills). And, once again, we had the very real threat of imprisonment looming over us the entire time.

If you see that comment, don’t reply or be mean to them. I think it’s just a misunderstanding. But this was the worst experience of my life and had a HUGE impact on my family. Which was the point. Remember that as the administration does the same to LaMonica McIver, Ilhan Omar, and anyone else.

Saw ANOTHER person say my indictment was the best thing to happen to my campaign. Let me be clear: It severely limited what I could say, where I could go, and what I could do. I had to worry about prison AND legal fees for myself AND my (amazing) field director. Political prosecutions aren’t fun.

Two months ago I reported on Amy Acton’s anti-trans turn and fears Dems would go the way of Labour. Some mocked me for it. Now that list is up to 28 major dem elected officials and entire state governments.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.
