My 2021 teaching memoir, LIPSTICK Football. After a season of women’s Am tackle football, I had to understand why it changed me. I created 8 LIPSTICK principles I learned from the game—Leap, Immerse, Play, Shine,Track, Initiate, Condition, Kick. They apply to everything we do in life. bit.ly/bookLF8

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

I made this thread into a shareable web page: skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

This story is not about voters “no longer caring about climate change.” It is about the right wing using state power, even before the 2024 election, to threaten & punish banks for making green investments — and about banks being happy to cave in the name of profit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/c...

PM Mark Carney: “The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland & Denmark exclusively — it’s their decision We are NATO partners with Denmark — our obligations on Article 5, Article 2 of NATO stand, & we stand full square behind those”

Say it with me: 90% of people alive today will be better off if we phase out fossil fuels. That’s what the economics actually shows.

Thank you, Gov Walz. Truth is power.

Football season has me reflecting on what I learned playing women’s pro football & writing about it—not just the game, but leadership, courage, and stepping onto the field before you feel ready. Did you play sports? How did that experience shape you—on or off the field? #WomensSports #Leadership

Football season has me reflecting on what I learned playing women’s professional football—not just the game, but leadership, courage, and stepping onto the field before you feel ready. Did you play sports at any point in your life? How did that experience shape you—on or off the field?

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

Such a loss. RIP.

More of this please.

“We’re running the fourth-largest economy in the world [on] 67% clean energy on nine out of 10 days in 2025,” Newsom said. “Outside of China, there’s only one other jurisdiction in the world – California – that has as much battery storage implemented.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It was a good day on the water today, even if it was the shortest day of the year. Happy Winter Solstice, Everyone!

Fact: #CleanEnergy is the cheapest form of new electricity almost everywhere. Fact: America needs lots of new energy and fast. Shouldn’t we prioritize the cheapest option? bit.ly/4ommJES

Happy Thanksgiving. Here’s a thought. What if joy is not a destination—but the path itself.

Good Lord, I hope political wannabes are taking notes. And I pray Mayor-elect Mamdani is successful. Billionaires don't need help. I don't need help. But so many Americans do. Let's start at the bottom and work our way up. #TrickleUp

Climate concerned peeps: We are not the minority!!

Exactly right.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Taking a moment from the political threads to honor my sweet, Sadie, who I had to say goodbye to last week. Sadie was my Mom's dog. When Mom passed, I took Sadie in to start a new life. She's been a remarkable friend & companion. While I was training her, she was teaching me to be a better human.❤️🐶🐾

I know I've been glazing Denmark like crazy lately — and honestly I'm not sure how they're going to enforce this — but nevertheless I am 100% behind governments banning social media for children under the age of 15. ❤️🇩🇰 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

What a powerful statement from Dr. Goodall.

CA - YES ON 50! Dont let anyone tell you “Texas & Missouri redistricting have nothing to do with CA”. When Republicans give House Republicans more seats to tip the scales for a Republican House majority - IT AFFECTS EVERYONE IN THE NATION who are subject to R legislation/cuts/funding!

Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi. As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.

Rest in peace, #JaneGoodall. Thank you for all the good you've done in this world. 💕
