Just an ordinary mom of seven extraordinary kiddos five through adoption and two through birth. May we fight the good fight for those that cannot and light the way in the dark.

REMEMBER: THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

1986 — moving America towards a fascist theocracy was in the works. Should’ve listened more to Frank Zappa 👇🏼

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

FUN FACT: maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority maga is the minority AND The resistance is the MAJORITY! We will defeat you as your only plan is destroying our country while lining your pockets. Keep flooding the zone. We’re watching & we will win!!

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 She created the gas home heating system that was a precursor to the system many people use today. Her name is Alice H. Parker, a Black woman. BTW, that's not her photo. "Say what?" (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy www.blackpast.org/african-amer...

I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this. You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day. Hold onto your joy. That's how we win.

Yes CAROL or Karen

I don’t have kids. I just care about the world and the people who live in it. It’s never wrong to do the right thing.

Hey. You should text/call/voice-note some friends just because. Don't just DM silly videos. Check in with them. We all need some genuine connection right now!

Floating the idea of them stupid ass checks from DOGE is literally a distraction while they keep ruining the country. "Here's 5000 bucks, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (wizard of oz reference)

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Time to stop pretending what's happening isn't real.

America was created so we wouldn't have to live under a King.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

Putting a freeze on your credit takes a mere 2 minutes at Transunion and Experian. At Equifax, it takes about 5-20 minutes. So in 25 minutes or less you can protect yourself against possible thuggery from Musk's band of thieves, hackers &Doge dipshits. I highly recommend it.

Hero. 🇺🇦

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

They're using fear to bully you into compliance. Fear of losing your job, your savings, your Medicare/medicaid, your rights, your freedom. They're using fear to bully our allies, to break our alliances and promises. What do they have to fear? Nothing so far. That needs to change.

Exactly 😡

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

This…

It's Friday! Take a break from doomscrolling & read my article on how to save spoons on social media! It also includes tips for including disabled people in resistance efforts. We are built to resist. Many of us have spent our whole lives fighting systems of oppression. Don't leave us behind:

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Donald Trump is the enemy within. This entire country is under attack! So while you sit and whine about bullshit on social media for attention - just know we are all at risk! Everyone one of us! Every single American entity is under attack!

Even judges and prosecutors APPOINTED BY TRUMP are refusing to obey Trump. Have faith. Keep fighting.

Every Senator who votes to confirm RFK Jr. today should be voted out of office. Pass it on.

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…
