Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

“Round of applause for Ramóóóóóóón Laureano…he had some great years for the A’s” You know we had to post a Ramón clip, love this man to the moon and back. LDB literally wouldn’t be here without him.

This is yet another good example of why men are too emotional to be in leadership.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

I am and always will be first and foremost Mom. It is a title I carry with pride and joy for the beautiful lives of my children. They are kind, smart, compassionate community members. Each of them makes me a better person. I am infinitely lucky. Both in present tense and past tense. #grief

The way for Democrats to win back younger men is the same way to win back working class people of all races and genders: aggressively taking on the power of corporate elites who are screwing all of us over. Enough with the weak shit. Stand up for people, or stand aside.

Are we all just trying to get by in a world that favors the shittiest among us?

Our front door was left open for a hour. We were not home. Our dog, Bridget, a 72 lb lab mix, waited inside for us to come home. She never stepped outside. Our orange kitty left twice and came back within 5 minutes each time. Our security camera confirmed. Bridget is a good girl 10/10.

Knitting helps me sit with my #grief in a loving & productive way. My son’s death is not something that I will heal from. I am forever changed. I’m grateful for all the memories I have of my children as they grew. I love the baby blanket I’m knitting for a friend & wishing her lovely memories. 🫶✨

Thoughts while knitting: Life is not fair. Those of us who work to make it more fair are doing it right. #knit #grief #community

The choice for Americans is kind of crazy... Do you want to be better off in a better country or do you want the rich to be richer in a worse country?

I’m about to start knitting a gorgeous baby blanket. The yarn cost $145. I can confirm that when someone knits for you, they’re not making a handmade item to save money on your gift. We are creating what we hope will become an object that brings you joy just as YOU bring US joy. 🫶✨ #knit 🧶

Rutger Bregman just publically called me " unethical" for sharing my experiences advising his foundation on racial equity - which they completely ignored Naming harm is not unethical. Silencing critique through public smears is #JusticeNotBranding #MoralAmbition #PowerAndAccountability

Y’all remember when Target first announced its DEI rollbacks and people really thought it was a rebranding of DEI called “Belonging at the Bullseye”? That one really had me chuckling because people were trying hard to keep their fix in place. Look at us now tho, ain’t seen a Target since January
