As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

I'm nearly at 40,000 words for my memoir. I'll be done in less than a month and ready to query! I'm aiming for 70,000, but it may be more. I still have several stories to tell, and my rewriting will add some to the first half. I'm taking a new approach with my experienced voice. It's taking shape!

When this is all over (and it will be one day), our country will need a History Reinstatement Department to return women and minorities to history books, websites, and official archives.

. East Germany (1989) The Berlin Wall didn’t fall because of bombs it fell because East Germans protested week after week, peacefully, until the regime cracked. Real power lies with the people, not the walls they build to control us. #FallOfTheWall #WeAreTheMajority #BerlinWall .

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
