"Ladies, let's f**ing go!" Our daughters are watching. How we could join and build a multiracial coalition of women and queer folks that changes history.

You didn't really miss anything. This is great. I feel very much the same way about feeling that odd sensation of hope again.
On the the subject of "Let's fucking go" (and yes, let's!) I'm reminded of this great interview I heard with Gretchen Whitmer. She was told by a coach during debate prep that "the happy warrior always wins." She knew the coach was right, but he was also a man and it felt a little like being told to smile. But she had also been to a comedy show recently where the comedian did a bit about how we've advanced to an era where women are often more comfortable and open about things than they used to be, in a good way. His line was something like, "It used be 'Oh, my Aunt Flo is visiting' and now? 'IT'S SHARK WEEK MOTHERFUCKERS!!" She writes the last sentence of that punch line on the top of every speech she gives.
As far as I'm concerned, everybody needs to grab a coconut and buckle up because from now to election day, EVERY WEEK IS SHARK WEEK MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!

This is my new mantra, I love it! Thanks for this it made me laugh out loud. And YES to being more open and finding humor and everything not being so heavy for once!!
YES!Thank you Lane for this! It’s critical that White women show up to support Black and brown women political leaders and put their money and their bodies on the line.

Ha!! Thx so much for this--I just put it on our instagram Stories. And thanks for being here/in the good fight!
Provide women with other ways to help besides monetary/ fund raising . This emphasis doesn’t speak to socio economic / class differences. Bravo !
Talking to people is literally what will win this!! ❤️

Loved seeing this!
Canadian woman here. How can I help? Another Trump administration won't be good for anyone, including your closest neighbours and friends 😊
