Mom, social worker and lifelong marketing student. Only sure of 1 thing: my recently potty-trained kid could serve this country better than the rich, morally bankrupt snowflakes in the GOP.

Friendly reminder from my 4-year-old: Rulers can’t rule if the people don’t obey.
Hey, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti— want that No Kings feeling back? Organizers are doing a visibility event prior to the game next Saturday + a food/needs drive for CAN. www.mobilize.us/nokingsannar...

Dems are excited about someone named Zohran; GOP stick behind Donald.

The future will come, regardless.

This is Detroit. ✊ Helping each other.
This isn’t a call-out—it’s a call to action.
Families are losing vital benefits and going hungry while too many look away.
Farmers and ranchers, your hands feed this nation—now your help can too.
Donate surplus. Partner local. Feed the people.
Judge less. Act more. 🌱 #TrumpShutdown #FundSNAP #Resist

In a nation that lauds superhero movies, I’m let down by how few wealthy or powerful Americans have courage.

Lauren Boebert put more effort into a hateful Halloween party costume than she ever has into serving the people of Colorado's 4th Congressional District. I'm Trisha Calvarese, the former public servant whose going to fire her. Help me out, RT, follow, pitch in if you can.

I got yelled at by Mrs. Claus last night. Should I have known better? She was, after all, wearing a red hat. But this was Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Mrs. Claus yelled at me tonight.
Tonight being Halloween.

Have you ever met a bigger loser?

(I regret this administration makes me regress into high school— with petty cares and a desire to judge what and who is cool.)

Instead of spending money on stuff I don’t need, I’ve been buying postcard stamps. I’m only sorry it’s taken me until now to see that democracy is worth spending time and money on.

He’s 12.
My kid volunteers for an English as a second language program. Part of his job is locking the church doors, keeping an eye out for ICE agents, and alerting an adult if they storm the church.

Not exactly the life I thought he’d live.

Ann Arbor folks: We are trying this first one this Saturday, Oct. 25 from 2:30-4 pm at County Farm Park. Kids play; parents can talk about what’s happening in the world and get some support and camaraderie 💙 Please share!

It’s so fun to have a VP who trolls kids online. It’s as if he never made it past being an adolescent boy.

My kindergartener was being pestered by a fly tonight and said, “If Trump were in our house, we’d get him out first. Then the fly.”

✊ I told her at least the fly was food for frogs.

On the way to a big protest, this got us to pull over: a retirement community including many in wheelchairs or with walkers who rolled out to the street corner to express their 1A rights. ✊ Chatted with inspiring folks who’ve been civil rights advocates for decades. 🇺🇸

I truly don’t blame Hegseth’s mom at all. But boy, she could really help the world out now by teaching parents where things went wrong with her son.

Resistance, refusal and RIDICULE are absolutely essential to deposing dictators. Bravo to the brave folks behind this.

Time to call out lawmakers who blocked release of Epstein files for exactly what they are: Senator Pedophile.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23.

A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

I can see this being very therapeutic.

I envy the GOP for manufacturing and solving nonexistent problems like bathrooms. Must be so satisfying to get an A+ on every test you create.

(Meanwhile, they pull funding from pediatric brain cancer. Obviously real problems are just too hard, poor little snowflakes.)

To the people who are outraged that the press would interview a kid who survived, I ask why? His staying silent won’t reduce his trauma. And maybe it’s about F’ing time we listen to the kids.

Gun control NOW.
