Walk away, @schumer.senate.gov . Just walk away. As a lifelong Democrat who once thought you were a pretty smart guy, I can now only conclude you are just not up to task before us. Make room for someone who is.

@altusaid.altgov.info I’m a USAID employee on admin leave, awaiting my RIF date, and just want to say I appreciate you.

I am so sick of weak Democrats. Let’s find real fighters who are ready for the job. It’s time we reclaim our party and do the work the times demand.

#MurielBowser painting over the #BlackLivesMatter street and renaming the plaza is complicity. Don’t do it. Double down. Triple down. Rename EVERY STREET name to show that DC supports diversity, equity and inclusion, celebrates our great civil rights and human rights defenders. Every. Street.

Get every one of these traitors OUT OF OFFICE: Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman, Kristen Gillibrand, Maggie Hassan, Angus Kong, Gary Peters, Brian Schatz, Chuck Schumer, and Jeanne Shaheen. I am a life-long Democrat and am here to tell you, these are NOT democrats.

This who caved. Get every single. One of them out of office. Either they are fools or they are otherwise compromised. I don’t care why they did what they did. I care THAT they did what they did. Get. Them. OUT.

Ukraine. I think about Ukraine so much. I’m sorry American elected officials have become either evil or ineffective and passive.

The center will win you nothing. Embrace what Democrats USED to stand for. Embrace WOKE, because it just means nice and thoughtful.embrace LEFT because it means community and caring. And SOCIALiST means we are only as strong as the most marginalized among us. Be real Democrats, without apology.

I stand with Ukraine and apologize for our grifter, fascist President and his pack of boot licking minions.

Day 3 after being RIFed by the fascists: cleaned the house, caught up on chores, and now I’m figuring how best to protect my country and the people in it from this coup. Never piss off a long serving patriotic humanitarian female NYer born in the 60s. We will f@ck u up w our big brains. Buckle up.

Tomorrow is probably my last day at USAID through no fault of my own, and aid that saved lives globally and held back dictators and responded to pandemics and climate disasters, and educated women, and so much more for decades is done. Fascism. Call it what it is. It’s fascism.

Though the deplorables have removed this wall honoring those USAID staff who died in service to America and the world, I will continue to honor all of them.

Dear women who don’t want to get married or have children; I love that you know what’s best for you, and you owe no one an explanation. Live your best life.

It is NOT overly dramatic to say Trump is evil. It’s not hyperbole. It’s descriptive of what I observe to actually be happening.
