Hi, I’m Laura Rude.

Hello! I started this blog because I want somewhere for like-minded Millennials to be able to learn more about politics, intergenerational issues, feminism, mental health, and most importantly, how to use their power. It’s time we collectively say as one voice, “ENOUGH!”

I’m a woman. I’m educated. I cuss. I’m a feminist. And (bonus!) I’m angry. If you’re not at rage-level 10 yet, you should be! At the system that has failed us so epically, at the powers-that-be who are grabbing all the power and money for themselves, and at those who support those entities. Nothing works how it is supposed to and the poor and middle-class are stuck in a rut so big I honestly don’t know what it’s going to take to pry the power out of the rich’s greedy hands and have the have-nots get some power for once.

We have seen more f*ckery in politics in our generation than any before us. We don’t have take it! Time to get up, roll up our sleeves, and get to work, y’all. We gotta take our country back! 

I earned my Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) about a decade ago and got licensed through my state (LSW). I worked for a Member of Congress for 9 1/2 years, and I have heard from many peopleover the years what situations people are facing in their everyday lives. Also have my B.A. in Political Science, minor in Religious Studies.

My husband and I have been together for over a decade and we have two adorable dogs, Odin and Oliver. You can follow them @adventuresofodinandoliver on Instagram if you like! I like a good cup of coffee and a book to read outside when the weather is nice. Also thinking of becoming a hermit…
