Like so many members of our military, serving this country changed my life. The Navy gave me opportunities I wouldn't dream of and taught me lessons I'll never forget. I'm grateful for everything our nation has given me, and I'll always do everything I can to give back to it.

So teaching and nursing will no longer be considered “professional” degrees?! Is this because they are female dominated careers? What is the reasoning behind this?! Careers wouldn’t even exist without teachers. We are literally teaching the future.

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message.
But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

I spent about 4 hours in the car 🚗 today. Listened to Spotify “new wave 80s” channel and I swear it’s like a mix tape of memories from my high school years. Only the good memories, of course 😉

When they try to divide us, attack the vulnerable and make us feel hopeless we’ve got to join together, bring the outsiders in and give each other a reason to be hopeful. Denton, Texas.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Having to take a break, social media is extremely depressing to me at the moment 💔
Not good for my mental health, at all.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

Sigh. This is truly embarrassing. Sorry, world. This Texan did not vote for him 😒
Germany, the UK, and Canada are warning their citizens not to travel to the United States because it is now a dangerously corrupt country under Donald Trump.
But, sure, MAGA, keep telling yourselves that lie about Trump raising America's standing in the world. Idiots.
