🔥 Trump is fomenting racist hatred and violence. Mastercard is a corporate sponsor of Trump's Freedom 250 Rededicate 250 event where Hegseth will headline on May 17. Christian nationalism is a violent, racist movement. An open letter to the CEO of Mastercard: www.impactivize.org/impactivizer...

I would love to have known my grandma when she was fearlessly casting her #shadow on the roof! #shadowplay #blueskyartshow #oldfamilyphotos #1920s #monchrome

The Supreme Court just issued their decision in the Callais case and, as we feared, they have ended the voting rights act as we know it. It’s a devastating day – – especially if you are a Black or Brown American. Here’s what happened, and what’s next.

When neither had much of anything extra, my mom & my grandma each had a small collection of English bone china teacups which now decorate a wall in my home. I love thinking that once upon a time, having these pretty things made each of them feel like a queen. #WeekQforQueens #AlphabetChallenge

Important thread from an NIH scientist who has been placed on leave for daring to speak up about the myriad unfolding disasters caused by RFK Jr.

One of so very many human beings in our country being treated inhumanely by our government. We are not OK.

So often we humans try to shape our Earth to our own advantage without thought or care for the repercussions. Thanks, NOAA, for righting this wrong. #pnw #environment

Awaiting a ferry yesterday I came upon this venerable grandmother at Saltair Beach Park. Is she looking out to where she came from? What did she see as she journeyed to her resting place? I wonder. Grateful she shared herself with me. #WeekOforOld #AlphabetChallenge #pnw #driftwood #kitsappeninsula

As I carried his #new sister into the house, our 6-year-old was literally jumping up & down at the top of the stairs. A few hours later, in the quiet, he was still right there, soaking her in and making sure all was well. #blueskyartshow

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

I come from a long line of people who loved to fish. My great-grandfather, whom I never met, had out-sized fun with the silly diminutive size of his catch of the day. But knowing my great-grandmother, I assure you this fish, small as it was, didn't go to waste. #WeekNforNonsense #AlphabetChallenge

"This is a time to stand up & say what's right--to make clear that there exists a moral order & a moral law in this world. And what Trump is proposing to do is fundamentally evil." We are all tainted when America's leaders commit crimes in our names. This is unacceptable. We are not OK. #resist

ICYMI: Here are 3 anti-abortion attacks Republicans have launched recently. With everything going on, it can be easy for this stuff to fly under the radar—but Republicans have not let up on  their extremist, anti-women crusade. WATCH ⬇️

Today, we put Trump and his cronies on notice that we are coming for them at the ballot boxes and that we understand how this democracy works and who holds the power. By showing up, we show that we are not afraid. That we will jump through whatever hoops they put in front of us to vote.

Sailing into the #background. On my birthday last week, I wanted to be in my happy place: aboard a #wsf. Boat traffic in the #PugetSound, including this guy, added a few bonus minutes to the crossing. Happy birthday to me! #blueskyartshow #pnw #ferry

Imagine a day without women’s inventions. Now imagine the world without women’s impact. Women don’t just shape the world. They keep it going. “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.” ~ Michelle Obama #SheShed #WomenHistoryMonth

"Those who drafted the First Amendment believed that the nation’s security requires a free press & an informed people and that such security is endangered by govtl suppression of political speech. That principle has preserved the nation’s security for almost 250 years. It must not be abandoned now.”

TSA agents could get paid TODAY if Republicans stopped blocking Democrats' bill. All of DHS could get funded THIS WEEK if Republicans agreed to basic ICE reforms. But they refuse. Republicans need to stop holding TSA workers' pay hostage to give more money to ICE & CBP.

Just a Friendly Reminder….. I’d like to remind everyone that Wind and Solar power doesn’t have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
