“let it be proclaimed throughout the land that love is love is love!” 10 years for National Marriage Equality, 21 years for Massachusetts Marriage Equality!

A message to my mother and sister

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Bless the fast food window workers who love dogs🐕💕

ha ha ha ha- awww breitbart. You remind me of my 5 year olds saying "I don't care about the red crayon. I never wanted that red crayon." as they stare longingly at the red crayon. Sorry/not sorry your event was a dud while the rest of us had joy millions strong! #NoKings #JUNE14TH #SadTrump

Celebrating Flag Day by defending democracy! How ‘bout you? #flagday #nokings #natickma #enough

Saw this ugliness on a relative’s fb page. Replied with some basic science. ( research link here in case you’re interested: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15287579/#:~.... )

Seriously- what male actor has ever been asked to pose like this for a story. Come on #GQ- you are showing us that your style is outdated and embarrassing. #boomermedia #cringey

Mitzy is channeling Grogu tonight and I am unable to stop telling her how adorable she is. #catsofbluesky #siberiancats

Are you kidding me? In what hell do seven year olds no longer need to eat? And the exception? If the parents are married their child is dependent until age 18. Don’t you dare be a widow, widower, abandoned, divorced, or single! www.newsweek.com/snap-benefit...

I grew up on a military base during Vietnam. I still have my POW bracelet as he’s still never come home. CMSGT Lawrence Clark. Visiting the Vietnam Memorial was moving, solemn, impactful. I found him on the wall. I grieved for his loved ones. Thank you #MayaLin #AAPIHeritageMonth

An evening of @maddow.msnbc.com was just what we needed. #prequel #staythecourse #dosomething #beexhilerated

Crowd out the door sound the corner and two blocks more for @maddow.msnbc.com in Boston! ( here’s the state house cuz it’s prettier than looking at the line.)

Beginning of the Framingham MA MayDay protest when I dropped my husband off a few hours ago. (Sadly I’m sick so am only chauffeuring) #mayday #nokings #fiftyfiftyone #indivisible

What the heck is a “ReTruth” ?????

Pick a Pope! Created by a local friend. I’m not Catholic but I feel the Pope has enormous influence so I’m definitely paying attention. This will take multiple posts so be patient till the end… Please keep the conversation civil!

We live on the route of the Boston marathon ( literally can watch it from our backyard) and are considering holding signs on Monday. We know that a gazillion people watch and if we are there during the front runners might even get seen on tv feeds. But is that helpful or hurtful?

The only reason these protests were “peaceful“ is because police and authorities were amenable to millions of mostly white people walking in the streets. It’s great that we were safe, but keep in mind that in the long run real change is not usually achieved without risk.
