I wanted to find true love and I did. I wanted to nurture so I raised two children and cared for over a dozen animals. I wanted to have a community, and I was part of a few, and built many friendships.
I wanted to be a force for good, and I was and will be.
May all of you be so fortunate.

During the holiday season, we all want to spend time with our loved ones.
And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Shameful.

Safe Passage DeKalb is a lifeline for survivors of domestic, sexual, and dating violence in our community. I joined the groundbreaking for their new 24/7 shelter, an incredible space I secured $2.5 million in federal funding for.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
