Meeting some incredible people in Des Moines today! #LJ19
Just met Adi and his mom Dale who came all the way from California. Adi is trans and finds home in the @PeteForAmerica community. Amazingly, friends from the @PeteBarnstormer community chipped in to get them here! Image
Sherri and Terry are from Traverse City, Michigan. They drove 9 hours to support Pete because he makes their son feel complete. 😉 Image
The moms ❤️ Image
Kristi and her friends came all the way from Virgina, where she led the effort to collect over 12,000 signatures to put Pete on the ballot in Virginia! #LJ19 Image
Sue and Maryann drove here from Chicago. They stood outside in the freezing rain back in April when Peter announced his candidacy at the Studebaker building in downtown South Bend. Image

DeSantis has chosen to continue endangering the lives of already-vulnerable Floridians. You cannot legislate LGBTQ people out of existence. If you don't want suicide rates to go up, stop it. apnews.com/article/dont-s…
45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year according to the 2022 National Survey from @TrevorProject thetrevorproject.org/survey-2022/#i…
LGBTQ youth who found their school to be LGBTQ-affirming reported lower rates of attempting suicide. thetrevorproject.org/survey-2022/#i…

The Senate is poised to vote on the #RespectForMarriageAct today.

This morning, after dropping the kids off, I came home and stopped to take in the aftermath of a chaotic morning. And it got me thinking.

This is what marriage is to me. 🧵 Image
Bibs I should have tossed in the sink that were leaking milk onto the counter. Little toothbrushes they used to scrub the teeth that have been keeping them up at night. Tiny hairbands from Penelope’s quick updo in which she kept repeating the word “bosh” while I brushed her hair.
The stacked plates, empty and crusty after a hurried but hilarious breakfast full of giggles ad music. The twins bounced along to the Christmas music as they ate their bananas and eggs while I prayed for the coffee maker to go faster.

“…teachers and staff members will be disallowed from wearing rainbow articles of clothing... Elementary-level teachers reported being discouraged from putting pictures of their same-sex spouse on their desk or talking about them to students.” wftv.com/news/local/tea…
“Some of the measures appeared to be far outside what the law actually forbids, as it focuses primarily on mental health monitoring and classroom curriculums.” #DontSayGay wftv.com/news/local/tea…
This was their plan all along. Make the law so vague and confusing that districts respond out of fear and erase LGBTQ people altogether.

There are voters prepared to vote for this president who may only change their mind because of you. You may be the only thing that gets through. Not a Project Lincoln ad. Not a sassy tweet. Not a yard sign. Not a mailer. You.

It’s time to have the talk.
Don’t come at these talks with anger. These are likely people you love. When we point fingers we push people right back into the arms of people like Trump.

Try, “I would like to know what you feel you stand to lose or gain by voting for President Trump? What scares you?”
Find common ground if possible.

“I feel scared, too. I feel I stand to lose these rights. Here’s an example (insert evidence).” Or, “These are the things I care deeply about that I am so scared to lose or see threatened or erased.”

I’ve enjoyed hosting some chats on Instagram these last few weeks to bring us just a little closer together during this isolating and confusing time. If you missed them, you can catch them on YouTube. (Link in bio) Here are some highlights!👇
I enjoyed catching up with @DrBiden to chat life on the trail as a campaign spouse and the importance of unity going into the election this fall. @JoeBiden even stopped by to say hello!
Fellow campaign spouse, @DouglasEmhoff joined me to share a few stories from the trail. Senator @KamalaHarris and @PeteButtigieg joined us to spread some joy as well.
