YES. Here we go!!

I would like to start teaching a hatha yoga class (with breath work and meditation) Sundays at 7 PM within 15 minutes of NE Minneapolis. Ideas welcome. Email [email protected] to organize

🚨🚨🚨 THEY ARE GOING AFTER MEDICARE

Today's action item: sending an actual thank you card in the mail to a politician who took a stand. ☮️ And: resting 😴

Has anyone in my network hired an intern for a short-term project? I'd love to hear your suggestions or reflections on the experience. Thank you!

Folks, times are tough. But what if we get this right? What if we build new power that can cross the divides? What if we unite all the people being harmed by this reckless hate & bottomless greed? This isn’t just a moment to BLOCK. We can also start to build….bridges, coalitions, hope.

This piece is inspiring me. I'm planning to read both of the books she mentions towards the end. Be sure to read the comments section, too. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/no-one-knows...

open.substack.com/pub/nikkinav... New on my Substack "for my fellow Americans: read this if your heart is hurting" #writersky

Updated my boycott list last night; lmk if you’d like the Note. 🚫💰💪🏻

I don’t often post on weekends, but please y’all: if you’re American, take very serious steps for your self-care in the next few days. Things don’t appear to be easing up at all, and we need you as balanced and rested as possible. 🙏🏻🩵

Tennessee Woman Suffrage Monument Centennial Park, Nashville 8 February 2025 Thank you to these incredibly brave women. We will not give up the fight for our democracy.

A reminder that taking care of your mental and emotional health is inherently an act of resistance against people and organizations intentionally trying to sabotage it for their benefit.

Anyone else’s daily phone screen time been higher than you’d like? There’s lots of reasons I won’t go into, but it’s something I’m going to change ASAP. It doesn’t feel good! My first idea is to leave my phone out of our bedroom almost every night. I’ll check in next week about how it’s going.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

I wanted you to hear directly from me that I have decided not to run for reelection to the Senate in 2026. I have loved my job, and after 20 years of hard and rewarding work in the public sector, I'm ready to spend more time with my family. I want to take some time here to explain my decision (🧵)

Join us for the first meeting of the Empowered Women book club! 💫 We’ll chat with Dr Djenane Nakhle about her #memoir, FINDING HOME, a story of immigration, divorce, and personal transformation. Message me for video link. #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub #booksky

Just hit the 18k word mark on my first book (little ways to connect to peace every day). #booksky

If you’re looking for a state that’s protecting fundamental rights, feeding kids, expanding child care, establishing paid leave, and investing in our infrastructure, then come on over to Minnesota.

When horrendous news comes at us as fast as it has in the last few weeks, the only way to process it is to come together and discuss what’s happening (and more importantly, talk about how we fight back). Join @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social tomorrow for their weekly discussion.

Meet us on Tues, 2/18, 3:30pm at the State Capitol to tell our representatives in person to STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER & protect Minnesotans. #stopelonmusk #stopgopcoup #wemakemn #rallytofundourfuture @wemakemn.bsky.social www.mobilize.us/indivisiblet...

My next week and a half will now include a 45-minute warm up under blankets with my bed warmer ON. And cat snuggles.

Join us tomorrow for our first Word Nerd night from 5-8pm! Many of you have asked about a "silent book club" or some kind of writing club. We decided we'd combine the two. 🤓 So come start that novel, read that book, or finish that poem with chill fireplace vibes and a warm mug. 🖊

Trying something new! Check it out if you’re looking for a little extra motivation to get moving this winter: swcapp.com/i/nicolenavr... Check out this free app — It Pays to Walk 🚶

If you work for the federal government and have information about what’s going on at your agency, please contact me via Signal at juddlegum.47 or use the QR Code below. I'm especially interested in speaking to people who work for the CFPB. I will maintain your anonymity.

Thanks, Nashville 🩵🎶
