I’m convinced that there isn’t any response quite as evil as saying to a suffering person “Everything happens for a reason“ or “It’s all in God’s plan.”

Especially when their suffering is being caused by a reality that you voted for.

I said goodbye to some amazing women who are incredible social workers. They’re hardworking, dedicated, professional Latinas that enrich our community. I’m so proud of them & to know them.
I know this isn’t goodbye, it’s see you later. They deserved better and so do the kids on their caseloads.

This. All this. An embarrassment. Bullies. Power hungry.
We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

We have to do something to stop the bullies in position of powers who what to rule this country like dictators.

In the first month of the war in #Ukraine, 90% of refugees were women. Three years later, they still make up the majority at 63%.
Displaced women face increased risks of gender-based violence, exploitation, and inequality.
A women-centered approach is key in shaping refugee policy.

I’m disgusted by this and anyone who thinks this is okay. This isn’t about parties. We have to stop this madness.
What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Sometimes I have to walk away from social media. They’re positives to it and sometimes I can easily find joy. BUT other times it makes me feel overwhelmed, angry, and hopeless. Those moments are when I know to reset and feed my soul with my comfort people, places, and things.

Supporting the arts is so important. Especially with already small budgets for drama departments. These has been a place of community and escape for many kiddos.

If you feel inclined, make a donation! You’d be supporting HB. It has 12 hours left.

People supporting this crap is mind blowing. The “parasite class”: Disabled adults & children; Adopted & foster children; Cancer patients; Retirees; Elderly
College students; Elementary, middle and high school students
Immigrants, etc

It’s like the damn Hunger Games or Divergent. Make it stop.

Compassion fatigue is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that occurs in individuals who regularly witness or care for others who are experiencing trauma, suffering, or loss.

This is so real right now. This isn’t always just with your personal life.

I’ve taken the past couple of days to decompress a bit. The uncertainty at work can be a lot when you’re trying to take care of your family. And also make sure your team at work will be okay.

Keep contacting your representatives to share your thoughts and concerns. ✊🏼

We need to stop this madness. It’s scary. Wrong. The fact that more American people aren’t outraged is disgusting.

It’s the worse Groundhog’s day ever.
A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority.

And no one seems to be able to stop him.

So this is fine.

Today was a hard day of advocacy. I keep reminding myself I did my best & what was right. It doesn’t make it less terrible.

I did get a beautiful sunset on my way home. Now I’ll have a good cry and rest. So, I can hit the ground running again Monday.

What tragic loss of life! Empathy and compassionate responses are what the families need.

And then action to stop it from happening again. We need leaders who can hold space and have accountability.

It’s only been 11 days.

The chaos this administration is creating is triggering our brains to go into survival mode. Y’all we can’t live there. Acknowledge it & Reset! Release the toxic stress from your body. Better solutions and decisions will happen in our upstairs brain. 🧠

Ppl keep saying it’ll be okay. How? For whom? Bc idk how freezing funding for SNAP & free/reduced school meals. When they’re hungry, what happens then? & they have no other resources. No safety net. No village. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I guess this is what being pro-life looks like in America.

This with have a devastating impact on nonprofits and our community. What happens to the employees and their families who work in these sectors?!
