When you wear yellow, you join a movement that stretches from city blocks to rural town squares, #NoKings is a movement rooted in hope, courage, and the belief that America is worth fighting for! On Oct. 18 we wear yellow!

Two years ago, I heard the words no one ever wants to hear: “It’s cancer.”

Today, I’m two years cancer-free.

My latest piece on The Garnet Lens reflects on survival, fear, and gratitude. 💗

08/10 is #NationalSmoresDay

I haven't had a s'more (that I can remember) since we made them at 6th-grade science camp. I'm never where s'mores are typically made.

When was the last time you enjoyed one?

08/09 is #NationalBookLoversDay. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite book or a favorite author. There are too many that I've enjoyed to choose just one.

What are some of your favorites? (Mine in the comments)

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Ann Coulter is a c#nt. If burning “witches” was brought back, she should be the first one lit up.

Trump’s decision to bomb Iran risks escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict. It’s time for Congress to step in and exercise their constitutional authority over war and peace by passing legislation that prohibits Trump from dragging us further into war.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
