Hi Jess- as a physician I hope you will rally the troops to oppose Trumps most recent nominee for Surgeon General. Casey Means has never held an independent medical license in any state (license from Oregon was training license from the residency she dropped out of). Casey pedals dangerous misinformation and misogyny on her website and wields her MD inappropriately. Again she has never had the ability to practice medicine independently. Her website is a disaster of lies, Amazon links and various supplements for sale. She has absolutely zero experience in public health. She is a danger and an embarrassment to physicians who train and work hard every day to care for our patients.
I love this so much! Thank you for being our leader in the trenches for activism in this moment. YOUR efforts and optimism and encouragement to act make all the difference! YOU are magnificent.❤️
(and since I personally had to change flight plans this week from United through Newark, at my own expense, my new effort is to keep calling Mike Lawler‘s office to see if he cares about air safety. So many members of government at all levels and their families fly commercial. Right now the random drastic cuts to air traffic control and safety are making our flying lives so much more chaotic and dangerous. We can push Lawler to take a stand, or show that he’s incapable or unwilling to take a stand.)
Thanks again for everything everything everything that you do!!
This motivated me to call my reps today about the starvation in Gaza. I feel like as soon as you mention Gaza they shut down but I called anyway about the children starving and need for aid.
Thank you for the shout out to the many hard-working, caring members of Congress! I get really annoyed when I hear the cheap cynicism of “oh they’re all corrupt “. I was lucky enough to work in the congressional affairs office of a federal science agency for 10 years. Almost all the staff and members I met really cared about the issues and were trying to do their best for their constituents and their country.
I wrote Rep. Foushee (NC-04) to thank her for signing onto Rep. Boyle’s discharge petition. Feel free to use this language. See if your Dem. Rep signed the petition at https://clerk.house.gov/DischargePetition/2025050603
“Thank you for signing on to Rep. Boyle’s discharge petition to ensure there are no cuts to either Medicaid or SNAP in the reconciliation bill. Selling these folks out to pay for tax cuts for billionaires is horrific.”
Rep Magaziner is my congressman! He is great. He got his start in politics working with the Young Democrats while he was at Brown University and was very active back then working to get marriage equality legislation passed in Rhode Island. He has said multiple times that that effort is one of the things that he is most proud of. He served two terms as General Treasurer in the state before winning a tough election to Congress. I'm glad you got to talk to him. Keep up your great work!
Damn, didn't realize VA was so close. Guess I better find some more money for postcards....
Also, as a zoologist with a focus in endangered species restoration, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your EC today!! We need as many voices fighting for our endangered species as possible, and we were at war about this long before Trump came into power sadly. They really need us.
I was literally thinking exactly this while I was out on my nature walk today. I am so thankful for Jess & a few others that give so much of themselves to teach those of us who are just coming into our activist era! ✊🏻
Jess! Thank you so much for advocating for Americans.
You just may get an invite to the White House at Christmas time from donald 😆
Just kidding
Keep up the great work, and thank you for teaching me how to call my reps to have my voice heard. It is what was missing in my life as a master’s counseling student.
Your interview w/ Pete was fantastic - you pulled out of him a point of view I’d not heard before. He’s not just smart but a caring and empathetic human being. That came shining through! Thanks Jessica! 👏🏻 ⭐️ ❤️
His views on fatherhood and Chasten’s writing… nothing political per se. He just comes off as a remarkable human being, the whole package. YOU did a great job and didn’t seem rushed or flustered at all. 👏🏻 ❤️
Maybe as a « fallen Catholic » I will revisit my roots, become an vocal activist in the C. Church— those 1.4 billion Catholics around the world could make a difference -
Made calls (got through to real people). I think it matters a lot, so I do it even though I don’t enjoy making calls in general! Donated to Force Multiplier- thanks for passing that along. Your videos are great in part because they make the behind-the-scenes work more real. It inspires me to keep plugging along. Thank you Jessica!
Awesome to read that our calls make a difference!!! Any read on whether letters written on Resistbot have an influence? And whether personally written letters versus cut and pasted verbiage, matters?
Similarly, does signing petitions on Resistbot affect anything? I’d love your input. When im tired I use your call scripts to send Resistbot letter instead of picking up the phone….. thanks for all you are doing!!!!

Yes! I sure will!

Agree. It's lame to lump them all in one bucket.

(Thanks, as always, to Jess!!)

They sure do. Thank you.
I googled GENIUS Act and this article popped up:

Yes it did!
Thank you for helping us to find our way through the thorny thicket that is politics and activism today!

Thanks, you two!

Aw I'm so glad, Sylvia!

Which point? I'm curious!
His views on fatherhood and Chasten’s writing… nothing political per se. He just comes off as a remarkable human being, the whole package. YOU did a great job and didn’t seem rushed or flustered at all. 👏🏻 ❤️
Your smiling face makes me smile. Thank you!
Thank you for taking us with you to DC. You are positively beaming & energized in all the pics / vids from your trip!
It was so damn fun. Thank you!
Thank you Jessica!!!
The new pope is American!!!!!!!
Yes he is! And *relatively* progressive!
