I turned down a DC dream job this week. I’m heartbroken but it was also my right choice, in no small part because I currently have a pretty sweet gig (+mountains, bluebird skies etc)
This is your reminder that dreams evolve, and living fully means letting them.

I don’t think folks really grasp the depth of the harm done — to democracy, to constituents, to the staffers themselves who often *are* constituents — by paying generations of early-career civil servants less than $45k
🚨 EFFECTIVE TODAY 🚨 THANKS TO HUNDREDS OF CONGRESSIONAL STAFFERS WE HAVE SECURED A HISTORIC MINIMUM SALARY OF $45,000 for the House!!! (Yes we need more).

Lauding a $45k salary floor tells you everything you need to know about how bad congressional staff pay (and treatment 🙃) can be.
Celebrate the progress but don’t be placated. Keep up the fight

After months of union efforts, Pelosi announced a new $45k min salary for House staffers. It’s a big win, but may be a bid to cool the union drive. Next week, reps will vote on a bill to legalize unionization.

! I stopped by the Norwich VT town green where Elizabeth and I were married after Vermont legalized same sex marriage. Having that recognition that we were legally married made us feel we belonged. In a time when there is hate and violence, we celebrate love.

Remarkable how different the ritual of gift giving and receiving feels when you can meet your basic needs.
I feel less desperate, less greedy, more joyful, more able to give. Having enough — not a lot, just enough — has helped me experience the smallest sweetnesses as luxuries.

Working in public service has taught me one thing for sure: there are days you must hold onto and days you must let go of, and you must know your why for either choice.
Today was a day I will hold onto, and I certainly know why.

Dutch teens cycle an astonishing 2,000km per year.
They also rank among the healthiest and happiest—with the lowest rates of obesity and antidepressant usage—on Earth.
This isn't coincidence, but an outcome of a system that prioritizes humans over cars.
