"It is difficult to comprehend the level of state-sponsored criminality we are witnessing because our country has never experienced anything like it."- #NYDailyNews (wait'll ya experience the midterms...) #AccountabilityIsComing ⚖️

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973. During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Sad that this is triggering to so many

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier. But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

What gives you hope in these awful times? I’ll tell you my answer: the people of Minneapolis.

BREAKING: A federal judge has just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas!

I grew up with 3 older brothers like you, @ilhanmn.bsky.social. We are tough! 🙌🏽💙🌊👊🏼

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Michigan clearly got the memo. When I called Senators, voice mail boxes are FULL. On to an email or website message. #STOPICE #BLOCKICEFUNDING

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

Baby footsies in chick pjs — my lovely view for much of the afternoon today at my volunteer gig. Talking, singing, reading, quiet time while she slept. If you’re interested, it’s an assignment I highly recommend 😍💕👶🏽 Children /babies are such a delight.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

My thoughts exactly 🩵🙌🏽

Renee Nicole Good was murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

I’m not there but my husband is — sunset over Death Valley National Park! Stunningly gorgeous, right? He’s getting in some warm weather jogs — he’s fed up with Michigan winter! #sunset @altnps.bsky.social #nationalparks #deathvalley

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

My January blog post is live. Let me know what you think? #authorblog #authorlife #kidlit

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

ENOUGH ALREADY. Can Congress step up?! 🤬

We watch and wave from the door! You? I’ve noticed what John says here too 😆

Happy New Year! Here’s to a better 2026. We are living in the Future 🙃 New Year’s Day trail walk. My cardiologist said “stay active” and I think that’s a great prescription. What did you do today?

They’ve made us wait but it’s tonight! Excited and nervous. 😆 #strangerthings #strangerthingsfinale

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Merry Christmas!

I looked up early instances of “breaking the fourth wall” - when a character interacts w/ audience. It dates back to Ancient Greek amphitheaters! I noted this ex in The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. What are some examples you’ve noticed and liked? #break4thwall #tv #grinch

We’re on season 1 episode 8 of #Severance. It’s intense and we get so ticked off and remind ourselves we have to go with it. It’s a show! 😆 but wow. So odd, different, sometimes frustrating. Anyone else watching? Is season 2 going to be the end of it? #tv #thriller
