STORYTIME

It was right about now, about 10 days after the '16 election when I finally ventured back onto social media. It had been too hard until then. My anxiety and worry were off the charts.

What I found quite literally changed my life. // a #gratitude thread

A friend of mine wrote a post about a new group she found, called the Every Day Project, who was posting "one action a day to protect against our 45th president."

I signed up for their email and gave it a try. (This was pre-Indivisible.)

Boom. I felt SO GOOD after taking that one tiny action, and I was HOOKED.

I wanted more.

There's a House district here in Oregon that the Republicans have been desperate to flip for years. This year, they're getting really close to making that happen!! 😬

Here's why it's close, and why we can't let them win. #VoteBlue // thread

Our Congressman in #OR04 is Peter DeFazio. He became the Chair of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee when we flipped the House in 2018.

He has 100% scores from the Human Rights Campaign & Planned Parenthood & a 97% rating from the League of Conservation Voters.

Our congressional district is the only competitive one in the state. We're the district in green on the bottom left. (By the way, #Portland is split between the yellow and dark red districts at the top left. This will be important later.)

44 days left to #GetOutTheVote. If you're like me and full of fight right now, there's no time to waste.

If you want ideas on how you can help #FlipTheSenate or help friends make a plan to vote, my blog Political Charge is jam packed with info you can share. // thread

Here's a list of the 9 most competitive Senate seats, with links that detail several ways you can help. politicalcharge.org/2020/02/24/how…

Many intend to vote. But then don't. The good news is, if people take a few minutes to figure out their plan to vote, the chance they'll actually vote goes up nearly 10%!

Here's how: politicalcharge.org/2020/09/17/ele…

I had to publish my cartoon roundup just as the news of #RBG passing came to light. While I have a few in the roundup, more and more wonderful tributes are coming in from editorial cartoonists.

I'll add them here in this thread throughout the day. //

There was a time when I was studying Art History, that I thought about a career at Interpol, helping to recover stolen art and artifacts.

So stories like the one involving Hobby Lobby and Middle Eastern artifacts have always caught my eye. // thread

When you buy art, it's really important to know where it came from. Ideally, you want to be able to trace who has owned it since it was originally purchased from the artist (or discovered when dealing with ancient artifacts.) 2/x

For example, during WWII, the Nazi's stole a lot of priceless artwork, particularly from Jewish families. None of that work should ever go on the open market, but instead be returned to the rightful families. 3/x
