Rich time at the ACLU/IL lunch yesterday with my pal @carynrivadeneira.bsky.social. Reminded that "Courage is contagious" (Colleen Connell) and filled with ideas and perspective by Sherrilyn Ifill. (Paraphrase: We are a thorn in the side of authoritarians. We do not cut deals.) Thank you @aclu.org!

The soul’s gotta say what the soul’s gotta say. My latest on Substack. It did help quell my rage (for now). The fight continues.

Up early thinking, praying, wondering the best way to fight this current evil. I’m a writer—so writing. Obviously. And I’m a reader—so reading (MAGA fears reading). But there is more. There is more…

It has come to my attention (thanks, kids!) that I ask "too many" questions when I'm anxious. Indeed. And in the aftermath of this election, I have SO MANY QUESTIONS, whic I can't bring myself to ask yet. I don't want to be lied to, and the truth is so scary. Anybody else feel this way? 👹

I’ve been here for a while, secretly. But it’s time to pop up and say hey!

Hey! I’m a Jesus-loving, non-church-attending editor, writer, mother, wife, pit-bull-adopter. And because of all this, I’m a bit of an instigator. Now is not the time to keep quiet.
