THREAD: Today is #MentalHealthActionDay so figured I'd say some things. By most objective measures I am a high performer. I've co-founded a successful organization. I have a kickass marriage. We have two cats and a dog -- an adorable little family. (1/?) I've also struggled with depression for as long as I can remember. When I was young I didn't know it had a name. I just knew how it felt: disconnected, emotionless, out of control. I vacillated b/t being the life of the party and being a hermit. It's still a daily struggle (2/?)

THREAD: There are a lot of takes, so figured I'd add another. We didn't win in quite the way we wanted to both up and down the ballot. That is understandable because we built significant expectations around what was possible this year. But this deserves a deeper dive (1/?) Four years ago if you mentioned that in 2020 we'd be: competing for TX, GA, NC, and winning AZ you'd think I was messing with you. You'd be perplexed if I told you we'd be competing for state chambers in AZ, FL, GA, MI, NC, PA, and TX. We've come a long way in a short time. (2/?)

This is the point in the night where I get real earnest. Whatever happens tonight, I am so proud of everything @runforsomething has done the last four years. It's been really amazing getting to work with @amandalitman and the entire RFS team. And, I really want to say thank you to every single person who raised their hand to run for office in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and even 2021. I believe, so deeply, that y'all are what this country needs. Win or lose, when you run for office you make change in your community.

If we are going to #DefundThePolice and get justice for black folks a lot has to happen. One of those things is electing city council people, mayors, county commissioners, county executives, school boards, DAs, sheriffs, coroners, and state legislators. Here is why... 1/14 Mayors + councils often have purview over police departments + funding. They also sometimes control police department policy. School boards can cut police contracts. County governments often fund the jails. DAs control whether we prosecute police. Sheriffs enforce warrants 2/14
