When a woman and/or mother is saying repeatedly that her spouse is abusing her in ANY way, including psychologically, and/or “they’re a [insert type] narcissist,” BELIEVE her & HELP her and/or her kids get to SAFETY w/out shame, more gaslighting or any judgement for all of their mental health.😖💔❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

Also why we poke often as needed and I remain vigilant as a mother/main caregiver to an 11yo w #T1d. 🙏🏼😣 Now, #fiercebiotech needs to continue investigating faulty Dexcom G6-7 sensors. www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/abbo...

Nobody wants to “eat like a pilgrim” (aka Separatists) as my 1st grade teacher’s assignment suggests. I’ve been sending a lot of emails to their school as usual every November since my 2 Native American, Kānaka, Okinawan, Chinese kids started TK (2019 & 2023). 🥱✊🏼🔄 #Nativeamericanheritagemonth

I’m proud to represent a state with more than 1.6 million veterans—including the largest population of women veterans in the country. This resolution is about more than recognition; it’s about ensuring veterans get the care, benefits, and respect they’ve earned. #VeteransDay

I guess I better repair that long crack in our retainer wall near the pool w some Quikrete - my spouse isn’t gonna do it properly. Also, please drive safely esp when it’s 🌧️ . Us Hawaiians & local HI peeps living in diaspora on da continent are used to heavy rain. secretlosangeles.com/heavy-rain-s...

The honu is ONE of my Kānaka family’s ʻaumakua [ancestral guardian in the shape of an animal]. WE do NOT hunt/eat esp sea turtles - very FEW Kānaka fm my 1980s gen do. We strongly OPPOSE hunting honu & ADVOCATE for their protection. 1/

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest), how bad do you feel for those who still support the orange turd (MAGAs/MAHAs) atm? Negative numbers ok too. #socialexperiment

Election Day is a week from tomorrow, and millions of Americans have a chance to elect important local leaders — judges, council members, school boards, and more — crucial to defending and rebuilding democracy. If you haven’t already, make a plan to cast your vote.

Thank the turd reich - ehemm, trump admin for this & the GOP. Nm if you have to travel for work, medical needs, or court dates, etc. We warned 1/2 the U.S. population of what would happen (Project 2025). We can only help those willing to👂🏼& learn.🔁 #governmentshutdown www.reuters.com/business/wor...

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market. Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army. Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Right on! www.npr.org/2025/10/20/n...

If you’re ok w ICE kidnapping BIPOC & AANHPI off the street, then don’t be surprised when others turn a blind eye if you get jacked or in dire need of assistance fm the general public. Karma will come for you when you least expect it. Even truly kind folks are past their breaking point these days.

ICYM this in 6/2018, >27 psychiatrists assessed trump during his 1st presidency. If only his cultists could read & comprehend this analysis. In short: He’s got all kinds of personality disorders & has never been mentally fit as POTUS. Save the article as a pdf asap. ⤵️🔄 jaapl.org/content/46/2...

THIS!

In case anyone sees this & they’re a fellow parent of a child w #T1d <11yo dx’d <2yo, your spouse shouldn’t EVER use their job as an excuse for being “too tired” to wake, treat/correct their child’s hypo/hyperglycemia WEEKLY when we’ve been doing it for >9yrs. 1/

Hope everyone who isn’t a racist or silent & complacent w a racist has a beautiful day today!

Now, more than ever before in the past 6 months, all those complacent silent ◻️ folks & ◻️ adjacent folks even those I consider acquaintances or friends, need to speak out against this N*zi sht. For the gazillionth time, this is about CORE values, ethics & MORALS. Not “just politics.” FULL🛑

Donald Trump and JD Vance can find money to launch missiles over the I-5 during a government shutdown, but not a dime for Americans’ health care.

Thank you @gavinnewsom.bsky.social! As a soon-to-be single mom about to loose my spouses health insurance & main caregiver to two girls, 10yo dx’d w #T1d at 15mo, insulin dependent, this is a huge step forward. C’mon #Hawaii Gov Green! www.fiercehealthcare.com/regulatory/c...

Q for my Black friends & fellow antiracist allies: If you were the *mother* of a young Black daughter who’s always being partnered w the ONLY Black boy in class (we live in a predominantly wyte/adjacent wealthy neighborhood) by their teacher, likely subconscious bias, how would that make you feel?1/

#FuckChristopherColumbus HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY!!! ✊🏽🪶🏹🔥❤️🖤💛

If you're with ICE, you'd have been with the Nazis. It's that simple.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! FAAM is honored to share the beauty, creativity, and unique stories of Indigenous People today and everyday. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #NativeArt #NativeSky #FirstAmericanArtMagazine

Mike Johnson keeps canceling House business to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance premium hikes. We must keep up the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

This is a great step furward. As a mother of two young girls and main handler of a 3yo AKC pedigree working line German Shepherd, bought fm a private breeder/trainer & adopted Alaskan Husky, I approve!

Took my 10yr old daughter, oldest of 2 girls, Halloween shopping today, we’re gonna be the Adam’s Family. 6yr old is gonna be Enid from the Wednesday Adam’s series. I’m just glad Spirit Halloween store in our area doesn’t carry any “Indian” or cheesy “hula girl/skirts.” #noculturalappropriation

I'll be holding another livestream with my Senate colleagues today at 5pm ET to update the American people on the government shutdown and discuss the devastating impact of Republican health care cuts. Do you have a questions for us? Comment below.

My 6yo multi-ethnic Kanaka (Hawaiian) daughter, youngest of two girls, just told me her former classmate, Asian-mix boy, told her that “Hawaiians are lazy.” Her: No they’re not, they’re strong. Our ancestors were cultivating farm land, fishing, & practicing many traditions before noon. 1/2

Women, including myself, can drive stick🏎️, use power tools, train working line dogs 🐺, become CEOs/first-responders - ANYthing we work hard for. So WTF a lot of “men” refuse to do their own laundry, cook & clean da house, acting like they don’t know how? STOP gaslighting us. #fckthepatriarchy

HI Gov Josh Green needs to partner w CA more now than ever in health (aware of latest news w other democratic states) & high-tech (beyond solar panels/wind mills). As a multi-ethnic Kanaka mama displaced fm Oʻahu to LA w my lil ʻohana in 2016, college in LA fm 2005-2011, this is amazing Gov Newsom!

It’s quite comical when randoms online or in-person try to trash talk me. I am my own worst critic, was abused as a child, & still in a toxic psychologically abusive marriage of 11.5yrs. Ain’t nothing anyone can tell me to my face that will ever bring me down again. 💪🏼😎 #badassmom

This would be absolutely devastating to most & a major inconvenience for us only bc of my husband’s (soon to be single mom, always the main caregiver) income, sole financial provider. My 10yo, oldest of two 👧🏻, depends on insulin (rapid & long-acting) to LIVE. 1 in 4 can’t afford it in the U.S.

Any post-doc working in my 10yo’s endo’s office needs to know way more than me about different types of long-acting & short-acting liquid insulins & why she prefers to either do MDI/frequent pump breaks, why we still give her ultra long-acting Tresiba 1x x daily, even IF she’s pumping. We’re unique.

If you’re a visitor to our Native HI & feel like you’re being “treated like an outsider,” it’s bc you are. You are NOT in “AmeriKKKa” when on any Hawaiian island that was illegally occupied and annexed by the U.S. gov & military in the 1890s. Pay the fees. beatofhawaii.com/visitors-say...

As a mana makuahine (strong mother) I don’t want any fragile white/adjacent folks here. Please go work on yourselves. Look deeper into your colonizer history of slavery & racism. It is STILL very much alive today. I ain’t ashamed of my choice to seek & receive therapy. PTSD isn’t a joke. 🙏🏼❤️‍🩹

Praying for all y’all younger folks w no kids safety. I’ll be caring for 6yo & 10yo (oldest has chronic med conditions, IEP, school LVN, etc), 2-dogs, school drop-off & p/u on 10/18. Signing petitions, donating to blue orgs, & sharing resources is what I’m *able* to do fm home. Which is a LOT.

Leah does an excellent job explaining why we ask you to register for events. I'll add one more, if there are changes to the location, time, parking... we can let you know. Absolutely no requirement to register. See you on October 18!

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

Dear #BananaRepublic: It is not my fault I can no longer fit into these Size 4 jeans (short crotch seem, I worked in the LA fashion district & retail mgt, small biz owner). I’m proud of growing my 🍑 in the past 3yrs in addtn to caring for my 2 girls & 2 large dogs, etc. Sincerely, SD #tiredmama 😅🫩

Netanyahu & his cabinet of war criminals are planning for "voluntary" migration of Palestinians from Gaza. Having starved them and bombed their homes, schools and hospitals, how can it be voluntary? This is ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. NO MORE US MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Marc Wahlberg plays the most amazing husband & father in this drama, comedy, action movie even tho he hid his past as an assassin to protect his wife & kids. Must 👀. Women: Don’t ever settle for less & be sure to learn the signs of narcissism. 11yrs married to a narc. tv.apple.com/us/movie/the...

The military must vacate and cease ongoing desecration of sacred Pōhakuloa, Hawaiʻi Island (BI) immediately. Contact HI “state” senators and demand they make reparations soon. Pele ain’t havin’ no more. Neither are we, Kānaka, whether on-island or those of us who were displaced decades ago.
