Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I really wish there was a PSA campaign to encourage people to not “spread” into another person’s space on airplanes. I am smaller but I paid for my *whole* space.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Gorgeous weekend in Hilton Head Island. Now back to work and a long day of court tomorrow. Tanned, mosquito-bitten, but relaxed. So thankful for South Carolina summers. ☀️

Today is my birthday! Help me celebrate by doing something nice for yourself - Like have a great meal or spend time in nature or shave your legs and change your sheets for great sleep! We often prioritize the needs of others. So I’m asking you to do one of these for *me*… bc it’s my birthday. 🥺🫶🏼

My dad would have been 89 today. What I wouldn’t give to have him in my life today, loving my children like he did so well, and helping me figure things out. He was brilliant and quiet and so good at figuring things out. People who knew him all tell me the same thing: “your daddy was a good man.”

Tonight I taught two MasterClasses at Palmetto Girls State entitled Ethical Campaigning. I’ve been saving campaign mailers for decades and we always have fun going through them and talking about the nuances of messaging and what cuts through. These young women are so engaged and keep me on my toes!

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

I cannot describe just how badly I don’t want this work week to start. Mitch and I have had an amazing weekend on the coast and now there’s so much work to do this week. Thankful for the beautiful sunrise to get us started at least. ☀️
