Now why did I buy shirts that need ironing? Didn’t we cancel ironing?

So good to see college freshman this week! Baby son and I had fun walking around campus, pretending we were college students and seeing the sights. Now we are waiting to board so keep them prayers up! ✈️🙏🏽🙏🏽 #home #springbreak #bayarea

It’s crazy because now when I make plans I go “I mean if the economy hasn’t completely collapsed by then” or “unless of course we’re all under martial law.”

Driving down the road and this house had not one but two Tr*mp signs in the yard. Today. April 7th 2025.

March is just going to have to get right because I am putting my sweaters away. Idc

Just saw my book, “White Too Long” was purged from the US Naval Academy library. Listed along w/ 380 other books from @antheabutler.bsky.social , @michaelericdyson.bsky.social , @revjimwallis.bsky.social , Bryan Massingale, and others. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

ELIE MYSTAL: “This is what fascism looks like. I don’t know what y’all expected it to look like… People are being abducted and disappeared from our streets. These people haven’t even been charged in court.” 🇺🇸

My family lacks a sense of humor. This is funny, right?

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

Racism is not a simple matter of disliking a group of people. It's about using the law and informal systems of control to maintain a racial hierarchy that casts some below others. It's a rejection of racial equality.

They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets

I sent a fairly large sum via Zelle and it was so scary. Zelle talkin bout “You sure you want to send all this money? Do you really know this person? You can’t get it back if you don’t actually know this person… put your pin in twice just to make sure… this seems sketchy as h*** but ok” 😂🤞🏽🤞🏽😱

We have a responsibility to our young people to make sure that they understand this *gestures wildly* is not normal. Bravado and incompetence does not serve the vast majority of people well. True leadership matters. Competence matters.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

Talked with @andersoncooper360.bsky.social about what is, and what IS NOT, DEI. And what Trump & his confederates are trying to accomplish with erasing the accomplishments of non-white people, women and LGBTQ people.

What is a good water bottle for an 8 year old. I don’t want any gimmicks or locking mechanisms or cheap hinges. What indestructible bottles have you found?

I haven’t been able to keep track of the days this week at all. Monday felt like Thursday, Wednesday felt like Friday, Today feels like Wednesday (it’s definitely Thursday—but is it?) I blame daylight saving time.😫

When I get to the point where I can’t read the news anymore, I found that listening to the protest music of our forebears brings the heart rate down. Stay sane, fight back ✊🏽 #protip #civilrights #resist #blacksky #selfcare

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Can’t wait to dig into this! @sheilagregoire.bsky.social

I’m not down with this! These Democrats voted with Republicans to censure Al Green: - Ami Bera (CA) - Ed Case (HI) - Jim Costa (CA) - Laura Gillen (NY) - Jim Himes (CT) - Chrissy Houlahan (PA) - Marcy Kaptur (OH) - Jared Moskowitz (FL) - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) - Tom Suozzi (NY)

Good morning, beloved. The middle ground is not holy ground. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

I don't understand why the DAILY MESSAGE from these losers isn't "ELON AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE STEALING FROM YOU TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND THEIR BILLIONAIRE BACKERS." Why is this hard????????????????????/

Do your brains ever go on a SideQuest while reading out-loud? Is this an #ADHD thing?
