good morning here’s to hoping you have even just 5 minutes of the feeling of thriving today 🪄

🗣️🗣️TIPS for EMERGING WRITERS. Episode 4 in my 'Tips for Writers' series is up now! This post is dedicated to the Development of Your Tools: Pt. 1 Social Media Check it out! youtu.be/bltu-ULNjDU?...

Had the Confederates been treated like traitors, America would be better off today.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

I don't understand why rich people think that poor people are inferior just because our ancestors didn't steal as much as their ancestors.

It’s all so exhausting and stupid.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

i find it so odd when people fear another american civil war, as if we’re not already in one. the first one never stopped, it’s just the bloodshed is through lynchings and protests which are STILL HAPPENING. the war is a spiritual one.

Congratulations to Rep. Robert Garcia for being elected Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. The work of this committee has never been more critical. Let’s get the American people the accountability they deserve.

Sometimes, the headlines just write themselves!

It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all

What America needs is a “cease-liar.”

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Who did this? 😂

No money for healthcare. No money for education. No money for infrastructure. But a blank check to bomb brown people. Just the American way. And no reporter will question it
