I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.

is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

📣 Hear me! Something critical many don't understand is the $1.1 billion Johnson and Schumer are playing cat and mouse with ... that's DC taxpayer money, already in the bank. We've a balanced budget (20 years and counting!). This move to bring financial instability to DC is cruel. 700,000 taxpayers.

I am teaching myself how to make a Paper pieced pattern and doing it to make a horse quilt for my niece to celebrate her 10th cancerversary 👏👏👏

So stoked that is actually starting to resemble a horse 😂🤣😂

We celebrated my husband’s 81st lap around the sun last night.

I know its a mess out there people, but take the time to keep building memories. It is important to keep up the fight.
