It’s hard to watch but we cannot look away.

For real, how many of you got the word “opalite” on the first listen? #TaylorSwift

Psst...don't use AI when a thesaurus will do just fine. It's easier on the environment. That is all. #writer #author

Fascists doing fascist violent things. #Pinks

Our hearts are broken for the LDS community. Because of potential gun violence, we are now afraid to go to church, send our kids to school, and just live our lives. This is not freedom. How has gun violence made you less free? https://action.momsrising.org/survey/gvp_story_collection/ #MomSky

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning, friends! I hope your day is as good as it can be. Let’s all let the haters know where we stand. Choose love and let them wallow in their hate, no reaction is better than lowering ourselves to their level. I choose love, how about you?

I recognize that I use the words empower, empowered, and empowering way too much in my writing. But if you're gonna overuse a word and you're an activist, you could do a lot worse than that one.

Thank you @jaysilveria.bsky.social

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all who observe and an easy fast.

I made my calls with @momsrising.org Here's a link for you to do it,too! Republicans chose to shut down the govt rather than fix our health care crisis. Reply NOW to call Senators & tell them to pass a budget that reverses health care cuts & reopens the government! actn.et/qST5Q4i0 #MomSky #MomPower

I thought I would write about the obvious metaphors about lighthouses being steady and alight, but then I went to the Tawas Point lighthouse and reflected on changing political landscapes through persistent action.

Grateful to see pre-sale purchases coming in for my new book "Advocacy Made Easy: How to Turn Civic Frustration Into Positive Action" Order an autographed copy to day for yourself or a friend to get everyone into action! #Advocacy #Activism #MomSky

First, the Republicans cut funding for food assistance so that billionaires can become even richer. Then, the Republicans stop measuring how many families are struggling to afford food. Next, the Republicans deny any claims that families are struggling because...where's the data? #momsky

Nothing like getting up early to do some website editing to discover you crashed your own book pre-sale! Eek. Sorry if anyone was out there and noticed! Go out there and buy "Advocacy Made Easy," everyone. Should be fixed. 😖😰🫠 #Yikes #AuthorLife #MomSky

One of my favorite things abt working in our NuCamp trailer in fall is being completely solar powered right now, even my laptop & phone. (I’m really in the driveway right now, but it’s fun anyway)

Every one of these crises is a test to see what POTUS can get away with. We let him dismantle USAID & it escalated to slashing global humanitarian funding. Kimmel is a test for the rest of communications. We need to push back in all the ways we can. Advocate, protest, boycott...all of it #MomSky

Florida families should be free to send their kids to school without worrying that they could get a life-threatening and fully preventable disease! Urge the Florida Legislature to keep our state from becoming the worst petri dish experiment no one wants. #MomSky action.momsrising.org/sign/stop-de...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Now more than ever, we need to use our rights guaranteed to us by the First Amendment (freedom of religion, speech, press & the rights to petition and to assemble). SPEAK OUT & ACT UP FOR YOUR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS #MomSky Thank you #mvnews for this 2017 illustration, more timely today than ever!

When you embolden and empower racists, the racism will inevitably overwhelm whatever real policy goals you may have. #MomSky

I've been quiet on social media lately as I cared for my mom in the last month of her life. I wanted to share my reflections on the difficulties of memorializing a family member across a political divide. At least through everything, we always agreed that #VaccinesWork. #MomSky #MomPower

Only 15 days left for crowdfunding the brilliant Dr Olabisi's work to minimize or eliminate scarring, great potential for future burn victims & all of us. Scientific studies, esp from Black researchers, are under attack, so this is a way to personally save some groundbreaking research. Pls donate.

Trump broke his campaign promises: Hardworking moms and families can't afford the rising costs of housing, healthcare, childcare, food, diapers, eldercare, and utilities, which are getting higher & higher under Trump and Republican leadership. Stop #Trumpflation

I'm honored to join the board of CARE Action! I've volunteered w them since 2019 & honored that CARE CEO Michelle Nunn endorsed my books. Now, I'm glad to give back & share my advocacy experience in this way. #Women #girls #GlobalHealth #MomPower careaction.org/leadership/

So when RFK or anyone else dismisses these meds, they erase what families actually endure. We don’t have the luxury of conspiracy theories. We fight to keep our kids alive, safe, and regulated. If you want to help, fight for better access—not against our survival. #Pinks

Caring for my mom in her hospital bed, I bring in photo albums to help remember happier times with her. #Joy seems very distant, so I re-read my own Substack post about seeking joy today. I share it again with you during these dark times. #MomSky #MomPower

@repwesleybellmo.bsky.social My letter in Webster Kirkwood Times thanking you for your #Medicaid vote. "We must not stop fighting until every person’s dignity and worth are recognized" @momsrising.org @resultsorg.bsky.social #MomSky #MomPower

My LTE telling my members of Congress cutting Medicaid was a betrayal. "I’m grateful to the lawmakers like @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social who stood w the ppl&voted “No.” To those O’Brien named who voted “Yes,” your vote was a betrayal. We won’t forget." #MomSky @momsrising.org @resultsorg.bsky.social
