“This story is one of sorrow, resilience, anger, solidarity, determination, and laughter, sometimes jumbled together. This is also a story of idealism - where it comes from, how it gets challenged, and why it must endure.” Started it today, an appropriate choice for the current times.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

“I dearly love this land because of and in spite of we the people.” This song is an illustration of patriotism to me. “Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory”. The Avett Brothers really wrote something beautiful and true here…. I wish more people saw it. youtu.be/0MKm9TB9b6s?...

This is gravely concerning and behavior that should be questioned. Hawks, snakes catch and eat their own prey - no need to further torture the prey by blending it. Horrifying behavior.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Friends, we can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good, but we can be more selective about where we spend our coin. This link that lets you search a brand and see what’s up. Maybe it’s time to support companies that align closest with our values. #GoodsUniteUs www.goodsuniteus.com

Because sometimes you just need a handsome kitty to make you smile. This is Chewie, short for Chewbacca, the floofiest of my floofs. He has a brother named Solo, short for Hans Solo. #cat #catpics #StarWarsFan

This is a beautiful quote I don’t see as often from the man we honor today. May we all continue to pursue his dream until it is fully realized.

Reaching the end of #IronFlame and it is getting intense. Taking a small break to decompress but definitely eager to see how somethings come together. Unsure if that can happen before the last page … can’t wait to find out! #BookSky
