Hi all, the last 2 weeks & a day have been a whirlwind of catching up on laundry, playing ultimate, making plans for next steps, and getting back to the life of genetic counseling, parenting, and community organizing. This profile will now be dormant; my personal account is @ultimatecgc.bsky.social

My statement on the allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell

I talked to my 6 year old at dinner on Tuesday broadly about what Trump had said, because he had heard some things and the news was playing on the restaurant tv. He burst into tears until I told him we are fighting to keep him and all kids safe and that he's helped me do that.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Perspective check. We are tiny. We are also able to take this photo. Humanity is magical. And worth holding on to.

Just heard about this amazing moment. @senlouiselucas.bluesky.bot (mirroring from that other site) is a political role model queen.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

Dear Congress: checks and balances only work if each of the coequal branches of gov’t use their Constitutional authority. You have the power to stop wars, end illegal tariffs, and impeach and remove any President who fails to live up to their oath. If you care about America at all, do your job!

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Mike Thurow, an independent running as an economic populist in a similar lane to Dan Osborne and Graham Platner might be Wisconsin’s best chance to defeat Glenn Grothman in his very gerrymandered district. In a few hours we will be live reporting from his launch event!

Listening to Rev. Jennifer at the Interfaith Conference tell us to resist fear in the face of authoritarianism. I believe this includes the fear within groups that established processes won’t work and we need establishment to just take charge. So: fight for primaries, not against them!!

Centrist democrats are dumping big money in the primary against voter wishes to keep compassionate, motivated activists out of office. www.milwaukeebeagle.com/blog/fightin...

Second, what's going on @wisdems.org and @christaylorwi.bsky.social ? There's only six weeks before the SCOWI race and two thirds of voters are undecided, only 6% said they've heard a lot about it? That's waaay behind 2025 numbers. Get to work.

Had a great meeting today with nurses from the 14th Assembly District to talk about expanding access to care, supporting our health care workforce, and making sure patients and providers have what they need to thrive. Thank you to the nurses who show up every day for our community!

🚨 Infant Nidal Abu Rabieh has died in Gaza after Israeli authorities blocked him from traveling abroad for urgent treatment for severe liver enlargement. His death comes amid Israel’s ongoing blockade, which restricts patients from leaving the Strip for lifesaving medical care.

At the Milwaukee @wisdems.org office listening to @francescahong.bsky.social not only speaking truth to power, but talking about how she’ll use executive power with and for us all. Workforce, education, childcare, AI, environment, healthcare, etc etc etc. and she has the policies and strategies.

Centrists, your time is up! Take your genocide denial and corporate money somewhere else, hang your heads in shame.

Check out this thread and if you're in any of the districts that @milwaukeebeagle.bsky.social calls out in the thread, PLEASE PRIMARY THEM or help find someone else to! We need choices in order to have the conversations that lead us out of fascism into something better.

Here's a list of WI Democratic Assembly Reps who collaborated with fascist Republicans to restrict our freedom of speech at the behest of a genocidal theocratic ethnostate. I hope they all get primaried and replaced this year. docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2025/related...

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone observing. This is a month of reflection, discipline, generosity, and community. A reminder that justice and compassion are not abstract values, but daily practices. May this month bring renewal and a lighter year ahead.

NEW: I podcasted with @angelalang8.bsky.social. We had a lot to talk about. Let's recombobulate: www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/podcast-st...

With so much happening in these discombobulating times, there's a lot to discuss. Angela Lang and Dan Shafer each bring three topics to debate and get recombobulated.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
