Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

When your stylist works her magic, you have to share! It's been 5 months since I've made it or the salon, but the results were worth the wait 💇🏽♀️

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

If you don't know what the SAVE Act is, please look it up! This will impact not only women, but military and elderly citizens
Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?
Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

The SAVE Act would require citizens to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections, but 146 million Americans don't have passports — nearly as many as the 153 million who voted in 2024. Vote NO on SAVE Act.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke.
It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.
America, we have a problem!

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
