You do more activism on vacation than most folks do the rest of the year, Jessica -- so enjoy your well-deserved down time!

Text SENT! Thank you for everything you do. Happy New Year! Looking forward to rolling up my sleeves again ASAP. I joined a local Swing Left group that I just discovered (I was with another group most of 2024 that is a bit too far away from where I live) and met up with a dozen local folks last weekend who want to start a local Indivisible chapter. They didn't realize there already is one in West Los Angeles, so we are going to see about joining or interfacing with the established group after their first meeting in early January. People are super motivated!!!!

I'm so glad you're taking this time away from all that's transpired this year. You've worked your butt off leading the troops by information and example and it's critical to step away for a chance to replenish yourself.

Here's to hoping the Maggots eat themselves from within and accomplish very little the next 4 years.

May your new year be full of blessings!

Now the Maggot thought was a cheerful one today. Thank you. I'm still chuckling.

I'm reading for pleasure too! Enjoying relaxing and being away from work/politics for a few more days.

Thanks so much, Jess, for all you've done, and inspired us to do.

Since I can't get Resistbot to work anymore for some reason, I emailed my Rep about supporting H.R. 7227.

And I signed up for these two legislative training sessions (providing the link for info in case anyone from California would be interested):

Hi Trina. Resistbot moved to the Telegram app after WhatsApp changed its rules about political posts. I like the new platform

Resistbot done and shared! Thank you for sharing this action!! I’ve gotten so used to calling my legislators, texting Resistbot to send emails and sharing these actions with others that I was starting to feel a bit of withdrawal. I understand the need to rest and heal. I’m happy to have extra vacation days to catch up on my book club books and to binge watch my favorite shows with empowering female leads😀 - my latest is Agatha Raisin on Acorn TV and I’m sad there is no fifth season. Harry Wild with Jane Seymour is a good one too!

Glad to hear your rest is continuing....though I did see a powerful new video on IG!! I'll be here with you because I know you are right - we don't have to sit back and watch it all happen. Together, we can show up and make a difference. Much love and many blessings to you and yours for 2025.

PS Miss Kitty sends her love too!

Happy New Year, to you and your family. Jess. All of us are better because you're there.

Show this to your daughter so she knows her mom made herself into a major force for good in the world.

Thank you.
