Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

“OK, Boomer” just got flipped on its head. At protests across the country this past weekend, older Americans turned out in force, leading chants, waving signs and showing that resistance has no age limit. And their passion isn’t just inspiring. It might be what helps save democracy.

Seriously, NYT?! Drug ads are aired ad naseam, do we really need them in our crosswords, too?! 🤬

I never, ever want to hear again that women are too emotional to be leaders.

I think it's funny that we're on bluesky watching the richest man in the world post on x to fight with the president of the united states of America who is posting on truth social. The world wide web unites us all 😊

When you vote for the arsonist, don’t act surprised when he burns down your neighbor’s house.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

It would be scientifically catastrophic to end this decades long study with 42k women continuing to be followed up, providing unique opportunities to learn new insights into women’s health and characterize risk of many health ailments including chronic disease www.science.org/content/arti...

Oh dear. Yes, that’s a bird nest, with eggs, in the wreath on my front door. Oh, bird, bad spot. 🤦‍♀️ I guess we won’t be using the front door for a while.

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Excellent write up on Cory Booker’s speech. Let’s have some more good trouble! 💙

And that’s a record! Thank you, Cory Booker! ❤️🤍💙

Cory Booker is on fire 🔥 Nearing 24 hours

Hot take: Jester’s hat = April Fools fun. Random penciled answers = weird distraction/irritation I could do without. 🙄

Some good, basic info about the security risks of the Signal chat and how top officials have other, better means for secure communication.

Yes! If we survive this administration, I hope we learn that changes are needed to make our government more responsive and actually functional… just with more finesse than the current wrecking ball of chaos.

New newsletter day! This time with thoughts on gender issues and the importance of holding space for each other. 💜

NYT Sudoku now has an undo button!! 🥳 And highlighting! 🎉 Yay for the update! 🥂

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

If anyone needs an example of FUBAR in action… 🤦‍♀️

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Wow. I had to check the news to be sure this was a real post. Yep. Another incoherent, late-night rant that makes us wonder how tf this is reality 😵‍💫

This cardinal was hanging out on my car when I left for yoga. When I came back, he was waiting for me again. 😊

Oh, you mean gross errors are made when you slash through government agencies with a machete? 🙄🤬

No one will remember: - Your salary. - How "busy" you were. - Your position in the company. Everyone will remember: - The lyrics to the %$#@ing "DuckTales" theme song.

New newsletter today, this time with tips for managing that negative inner voice. A voice that may be louder when you feel unsafe… like when democracy is failing.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

How is protesting Tesla domestic terrorism but attacking the Capitol building is not? 🤔

"Someone breaks into your house, refuses to leave. Police say they'll leave if you give the intruder what they want & give the police 10% of your garden harvest forever. Crazy, right?" ᵖᵃᵗ ᶠᵒʳʳᵉˢᵗ

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

What are the odds? 🙄😆 #iykyk #ShutTheBox
