So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage. It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

How are the MAGAs liking Musk today? 😂 We agree the bill is an abomination, but don’t get it twisted, Musk. It only took an international boycott to get you to change your tune. We’re still boycotting you. We haven’t forgotten. Foxtrot Echo Mike.

When something in the news makes me furious, I see if there's something I can *do*, even if it's as small as spending on time on books they don't want us reading or writing. (author friends, join

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Took 5 min today and whipped up simple designs in Canva. Sized to fix 2 x 4" and 1 x 1 5/8" mailing labels. Print them by the sheet and stick them up: lampposts, parking meters, sidewalks. (Just don't be a jerk.) Remind people this isn't normal & they're not alone, and encourage them to act.

Despite being "socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition," she concludes that "it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence. And there are so many silences to be broken." Such an important insight in the struggle against fascism. ❤️✊
