Slavecatchers Jewhunters ICE agents The only difference is the century.

If your pastor thinks the Pope is the anti-Christ but Trump is God’s anointed… that’s not Christianity. That’s a cult. And a heresy. Get out. Run.

Great day at the Lynchburg International Festival—had the best time celebrating my Mexican roots! Great vibes, amazing food, and so much color and culture everywhere!

Happy Easter

He's still going.... (4/1 - 2:44pm) Every Dem needs to follow suit immediately. And more.

On Transgender Day of Visibility and every day, my message to trans Virginians and people around the world: I’m glad you’re here. You deserve to feel safe and celebrated, and I’m going to keep standing up for you.

Tonight’s dinner: Flaky, baked salmon with a bright kale salad—whipped up by me! Cooking is one of my best detox activities, melting away stress one delicious bite at a time.

Have you seen #Flashes for #bluesky? It’s basically Instagram with sanity. :)

Let’s get this season going! @phillies.com

Black people aren't annoyed with you for going after Obama because we worship him or cosign his actions. Black people are annoyed with you because the white racist backlash his multicultural neolib admin sparked is a problem that YOU must solve. Black people can't help you fix it! Trust, we tried!

Life finds a way.

I hate it when my current home City makes this kinda news.

I'm going to borrow a page out of @amandajsummers.bsky.social recent post to say how grateful for my job and my family right now. I am getting new responsibilities and work for local government so that is good news! My family is amazingly supporting of me and each other. Refreshing in these times!

BFVA says, breaking the Amazon/Target/Walmart habit has been freeing for your baking fairy here! It’s taken time, but I’ve found other sources for baking supplies - eBay, y’all! - and haven’t ordered from bezos or walked into Walmart for weeks! I prob spent $800/month at W and now NADA! #itsdoable

That sounds about right. Hey y’all! Get off Amazon! Get off Facebook! Stop shopping at Walmart and Target! With a little digging around, you can replace all of those stores whose owners intend to sell your rights and freedoms down the river. Make THEIR economy suffer for a change. #BlueFairyVAsays

Here Is a list of which companies are selling the American people out, which companies are maintaining their DEI programs, and which companies donated wildly to Trump’s election or transition. #newsyoucanuse

None of us voted for Elon Musk to do shit.

We’re going to Super Bowl LIX!! #flyeaglesfly

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

Please read this. Please choose carefully who you reward with your dollars. They are declaring war on US. Declare war back: don’t but from them!

Listening to alternative rock CDs is an act of countercultural defiance

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) isn’t just about policies or checkboxes—it’s about how we treat people every day. It’s about respecting different perspectives, embracing unique experiences, and ensuring that everyone has access to the opportunities they need to thrive.

I've seen more people use #linkedin for what I would call personal opinion posts, and I'm here for it. I think it is another result of the exodus from Meta products.

Pains me that I’ve got to keep a Meta account to only manage business pages.

Without using Meta products life can feel quieter, but that’s ok. Enjoy the Silence. I still have my news sources and social interactions are more intentional.

For Booksky 📚 ❌ Goodreads: owned by Amazon. ✅ StoryGraph: black woman-owned, inclusive, has mood based recommendations! ❌ Audible: owned by Amazon. ✅ Libro.fm: supports local books stores.

On MLK, Jr. Day, Dr. King’s words continue to inspire me. Now more than ever, we must stand up against hate and injustice. It will be up to all of us to carry on his legacy and continue working for a brighter, more equal future.
