Ahead of last night’s State of the Union address I joined hundreds of neighbors in Houdini Plaza in Appleton to rally against dangerous and harmful policies and for the world we aim to create, together.

We saw teachers, retirees, Medicaid recipients, members of the LGBTQ community, laborers, immigrants, families, small business owners, environmentalists and more gather together because we understand our collective future is all tangled together.

Your wellbeing is tied to mine.

We understand that now more than ever. That basic rights and dignity for all people takes nothing from anyone else. That the rising costs of childcare, rents or mortgages, healthcare, and groceries impacts all of us. That a feeling of safety and value in our own communities is something we all should be able to enjoy. That no matter who you are, where you come from, what you believe, or who you love, acceptance and success in this country and the ideals it was founded upon should be within reach for all of us.

I could go on and on about what was said and done in Washington DC last night — but I, like you, am tired of it.

Instead I’m going to look for the helpers, just like Mr. Rogers taught me 30-some years ago. I’m going to focus on the on the community I saw gather together, and link arms with those who are looking toward and working for a brighter future for all of us.

I’m going to focus on the good, and help when my neighbors need it in whatever way I can. I’m so heartened to see so many in this community who are dedicated to doing the same. ♥️

Forward, together.

We’re going to keep showing up for each other.

Thanks to all who joined to voice their concerns last night!

Help. Educate. Hold them accountable.

That’s my plan.

***don’t get it twisted. Dangerous, hateful rhetoric is not allowed and there is no point in trying to have a conversation with some folks. But until they show me that I’m really gonna try to give them a chance.

TL;DR, Medicaid provides critical support to babies, kiddos, adults, and the elderly and ripping it away is not only abhorrent from a societal perspective, but financially it’ll lead to ruin for Wisconsinites and increased strain on our hospitals (and us as taxpayers)Resources…Medicaid Eligibility Requirements: https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-eligibility-wisconsin

Time for a little timeline cleanse!

So cool! ❄️

WOW 🤩 Anne Drehfal created this incredible 150-foot snow labyrinth in Madison's Olin Park before the temperatures jumped ❄️

“Making snow labyrinths is a way that I connect with the larger natural world, casting offerings on a beyond-human scale to the places I love,” Anne explained.

“I believe that when we acknowledge the places and elements of the natural world that are dear to our hearts, that they in turn support our dreams and intentions, and help us pop out of our human-centric thinking.”

Great perspective! 💙

Providing some context here for Wisconsin State Representative Dave Murphy who is clearly looking for some easy political points and thinks his constituents are going to fall for it…

Rep, the language is changed because families don’t all look like yours. It clarifies things for same-sex couples and those who are growing their families through IVF, surrogacy, or s***m donors.

Be better than this.

Hey , our public schools play a critical role in the lives of tens of thousands of students, and it’s way past time we actually invest in them so all kids can achieve their full potential - no matter what learning looks like or where they live.

Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevara and Wisconsin State Representative Dave Murphy meet Raj.

He’s a constituent of yours, and a kiddo who absolutely needs — and deserves — the incredible support he receives from his public school. A district that went to referendum last year because it’s been egregiously underfunded.

It’s , folks! And while we all ought to be taking time to thank and celebrate the teachers, faculty, and staff who provide so much to our communities, it would be a misstep not to call attention to the crisis our public schools are facing in Wisconsin (a crisis we kind of created…)

Take some time this week to educate yourself about the state of our public schools, and share that knowledge widely — especially with those lawmakers who seek to continually siphon funds away from our districts.

🚨 DON’T LET THEM LIE TO YOU

If you haven’t called yet or have been told “there are no cuts to Medicaid” in this budget, don’t let them get away with it. (And thanks Jordan for sounding the alarm on this)

(SNAP, not STAMP - silly captions)

☎️ MELT THE LINES, FRIENDS ☎️ Call your representative NOW and tell them to vote NO on any budget that includes drastic cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP benefits Congressman Tony Wied looking at YOU up in NE Wisconsin!

Thinking of all the family farmers I met along the campaign trail who are worried about their livelihood and legacy. 🌾

Farmers from western Wisconsin shared their frustrations and fears over the Trump administration's shakeup of federal programs at a town hall event Friday.

Call me crazy, but I believe to truly serve “the people” you’ve got to show up to hear from them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We know he’s in the District, we see scant evidence with some carefully curated Facebook posts, but his constituents on both sides of the aisle are asking: “Where’s Wied?”

Some folks with concerns even went to his office last week to ask questions and share their experiences noting that, although he is well into his term (15% completed), the people of Northeast Wisconsin haven’t seen hide nor hair of their congressional representative in public.

Who does Tony Wied serve?
