A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

You know one of the things I love about the #HandsOff protests? I'm not hearing about celebrities joining or talking about it. This is a movement of THE PEOPLE. We are powerful all on our own. ❤️ #resist

I was so engaged with the Lisle, IL protest yesterday that I didn't take any pictures. I was so glad to be there with 3K of my friends. #resist #handsoff

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

I'm concerned about my community food bank. I've come to know the clients there as I've volunteered. This past Saturday, I noticed the shelves were rather bare. We gave what we had, but several people comments on the lack of food. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

This group of protestors from yesterday's #TeslaTakedown in my town is giving me life. While most Musk Opposers were on the other side of the street, this small group was right in the middle of the Rump/Lon supporters.

I'm anxious and baffled at the state of the US rn. All of my current info input is from those I agree with. I truly want to understand other perspectives. I'm flummoxed that anyone could be happy rn. How do you hear different perspectives for understanding?

This adorable older couple sat in front of me at the Civic Opera yesterday. ❤️ We saw La Boheme and this gentleman told me that it "plucks the strings of my heart". #romantic

Guys. It's exhausting out here. Drink water. Get sleep. Disconnect from the relentless newscycle when you can. Enjoy the sunshine and laughter as an act of resistance.

I have a hard time believing that anyone would say, as Elon Musk did, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." In fact, the fundamental weakness is a lack of empathy.

About 30 yrs ago I heard a preacher who was trying to get engagement from the congregation. He called out, "Talk to me, bench!" It struck me as funny b/c it sounded like he said, "Talk to me, b!tch!" Since then, this has become my phrase while thinking: "Talk to me, bench!" I always smile.

Interested in a rather non-traditional look at Lent? Abby Olcese wrote this terrific book that pairs movies, thoughtful reflection, and the church calendar. Ash Wednesday's movie? Annihilation. #booksky

My guy on the phone with an older relative... Him: Okay, now, put everything down. No, you can just empty your hands... okay. Pick up the cord and follow it to the end. What do you see? ....is it plugged in? Okay, good. Plug it in. God bless patient tech people.

Just attended my town's village hall meeting. When asked what we can do, @casten.house.gov said: "Don't politicize the conversation. This isn't about who a person voted for. It's about the fracturing of democracy and the constitution. Try to find understanding and common ground."

I deactivated my fb account today. I feel a bit sad. FB has been a fun, engaging, frustrating, connecting space for me for over 20 years. But it's not what it once was... and I can't support Meta any longer.
