Shutting down or ignoring what 47 does won’t help, but protecting your mental health matters. Listen to your body and learn how to stay informed, set boundaries, and focus your energy where it count (without losing yourself along the way).

Empathy, like outrage, is mine alone to assign not yours to police. Moral superiority is awarded not to the oppressed but to the privileged.

I’m going to say it bluntly: if you’re still writing about Biden’s cognitive abilities while in office in June 2025, I’m discarding you as a blogger rather than a journalist at this point.

If the Department of Education is eliminated, states will face steep funding gaps. Arizona would see the biggest increase in education costs at 34%, while New Jersey would see around 10%. This shift would strain state budgets and impact students nationwide. #EducationMatters #FundOurSchools

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place.
That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities.

The shock over how 47 operates underscores how many people live on autopilot, ignoring the signs that have always been there. Commuting sentences for racist insurrectionists or associating with individuals who openly perform Nazi salutes isn’t new, it’s consistent with who he’s always been.

If 47 wants to drag us back to 1965 with advisors stuck before 1945 / 1865, let’s go further to 1789 to end this oligarchy like the French, or 1776 to create a government for all, not just rich white men.
America’s promise is progress, and we need to move past the endless cycles of regression.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Ever thought about running for office, driven by passion and a desire for change, but worry no one would break from the incumbent or your lack of experience might hold you back?
Just me? lol
I’d love to see younger politicians, but those in power rarely step aside, making it feel impossible.

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

President Biden has recognized the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the law of the land which is a huge step forward for gender equality! But the fight isn’t over. Congress must affirm the ERA and ensure its enforceability.

Two questions I never asked that were answered recently:
(1) How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?
(2) How many millions of dollars does it take to buy the US presidency?
Coincidentally, both answers are around 250-275.
