I thought I might have to mace a dude in the parking lot a few minutes ago.

My girlfriend and I were about to get in our car (after buying a bunch of ice cream for my cramps), and I overheard some guy talk-yelling. I scanned around and saw him across the lot, yelling into the driver's side of a small SUV. I watched for a few seconds, then decided to go make sure he wasn't cornering some woman.

So my girlfriend and I walk over and stand a little ways from his vehicle, watching him heatedly accuse what was probably his girlfriend of cheating. He glanced at us a couple times, and I kept waiting for him to turn his anger my direction, but he dropped the keys in the car and stormed off.

We walked over and checked on the woman, who smiled in that very 😅 sort of way, and told us she was okay—that "he's overdramatic" and they've "been through a lot together", then changed the subject by asking if we were from Seattle. She thanked us for checking in a couple more times and started walking in the guy's direction.

This was obviously an abusive relationship and she was used to deflecting inquiries about it.

I really wish I could have actually done something other than make sure he didn't escalate, but I know as soon as we left he was probably right back at her.

I hope she gets out of there.

Everyone’s talking about Trump’s tariffs.
How to stop them? Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) & Maria Cantwell (D-WA) have introduced the Trade Review Act of 2025, a bipartisan bill that would claw back Trump’s authority and restore Congress’s constitutional power over trade.

We’re Demanding:

✅ Pass the Trade Review Act of 2025
✅ Stop Trump’s reckless tariffs
✅ Rein in the abuse of emergency powers before it’s too late

actionnetwork.orgOppose the SAVE Act Voter Suppression Bill Today >> H.R. 22, the SAVE (“Safeguard American Voter Eligibility”) Act is a voter suppression bill introduced by Republican Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) in the 119th Congress that would require all Americans to show either their passport or birth certificate in order to register to vote – no other IDs would be acceptable. Student IDs, Drivers Licenses, Military IDs, and more would no longer be valid proof to cast your vote in our democratic system. With roughly 150,000,000 Americans without a passport and many more without proper access to their birth certificate, this could be one of the most destructive voter suppression bills in modern history. 69 million women lack a birth certificate that matches their current legal name, creating additional barriers. Elderly Americans are the least likely to have a passport or immediate access to their birth certificate. In 7 states, less than one-third of citizens have a valid passport. That’s why we’re calling you to action. Will you write to your members of Congress and encourage them to oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act today?
