Only one party is united to investigate the Epstein files with only one from the other party, helping.

Both parties aren't the same.

Not to self: don’t become the second employee at a nonprofit with only an executive director (who doesn’t have a history of playing well with others) and no active board of directors (“because I don’t want to share control,” she said).

Well. That ended abruptly due to mismanagement of resources.

If you can, please help us get through this difficult season of unemployment. gofund.me/f928c3e8

If you know any possible remote offerings (fundraising, editing, community engagement, etc), please hit me up.

Wow.

Let’s not hasten anyone’s death, though, please?

Vaccines save lives. Why is this so hard to grasp?

My 13 year old has!

Using xenophobia to distract the American people from their planned cuts to #Medicaid is a sick and disgusting tactic.

Medicaid champion, @booker.senate.gov, talking about our Little Lobbyists families with @briantylercohen.bsky.social:

Sure! What segment are you looking to advocate for? Little Lobbyists, for example, focuses on kids with medically complex needs and disabilities, but other orgs focus on aging and disability or on specific disability areas. The Arc in your area could be an excellent contact too.

One of my children is heading to UNC-C in the fall, and I grieve that this is part of the school's history and pray it won't be part of their future.

White House Proposes Eliminating Head Start Funding in Sweeping Budget Cuts The proposal highlights the Trump administration’s priorities as it seeks a greater overhaul of education in the United States.

As House Republicans move ahead with their Billionaire Tax Cuts this week, remember: They’re cutting Head Start for kids in need to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Here's the question for Republicans right now:

"The Energy and Commerce Committee controls Medicaid. Can you explain to me how the $800billion in mandatory spending cuts asked of them will be possible without cuts to Medicaid?"

The math doesn't work unless Medicaid is cut.

Thank you! It def helps.

“Our hearts are prone to seek our own good over the good of others, and we love to call ourselves righteous while doing it.

Instead, the call to follow Christ calls us to love others as we love ourselves, to love our neighbors, and even—and especially—to love our enemies.”

Can Trump Ax the Education Department Without Congress? Trump has been flexing his power through executive orders, and there's the potential for one targeting the Education Department.

“Trump doesn’t have the power to end the department himself, but the president has the ability on his own to shrink the department’s footprint—and then ask Congress to do the rest.”

Dying to know what you’re thinking it is!

Tomorrow I have an interview for my dream job with an organization I love. I’ve never wanted a job as badly as I want this one, and I’m uniquely qualified and expect to have a good shot.

Prayers and love and good vibes and crossed fingers please!

Shingles plus Pfizer here. Nausea def is a thing, but I have Zofran on hand so I’m good

I’m immunocompromised too, so good to hear!

Okay, y’all… tell me about the aftermath of the shingles vaccine. I just got it, along with COVID and flu.

I know I’ll be hurting.

Transgender athletes’ rights was opposed by those who viewed female athletes as undeserving, study finds A recent study found opposition to transgender athletes' inclusion in sports was more common among those with weaker interest in supporting, promoting, and watching female athletes.

Survey analysis finds people who don't watch women's sports, think they are less deserving of media attention than men's sports, and think women should prioritize being thin are more likely to oppose transgender women's inclusion in women's sports

Good for Michelle, I say.

Not attending the inauguration of a convicted felon and leader of an attempted coup who disrespects everything democracy holds dear?

I respect her principled integrity.

I am so deeply sorry.

I know, right? 😂

They say “raise up a child in the way he should go,” but it’s not a promise. Sometimes you might tell a child to put a few books on a shelf, and they do this. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I miss Lee, & I miss our lives before Lee died.

Grief is heavy, especially around the holidays. Please check in on your grieving friends, even if they seem to be “fine,” even if their loss was years ago.

This is our sixth Christmas without him, and it still stings.

Check on your grieving friends.

Holidays are hard when you have a dead husband.

You’d think the sixth Thanksgiving would be easier. It’s not.

We did! Hope you did too 🩷
