I read and I write things 🤷🏼‍♀️ @amandatory_reading on Instagram

[my book is better than my tweets @MichellCClark]

one thing about me: i’m gonna start over as often as i need to. i don’t believe in holding on to ways of being that no longer interest me.

Spent some time in the @American_Girl Dallas store today. A sales associate decided to follow us around the entire time, staying about 2 feet away from us, never offering to help or saying a word, just followed us. Ruined the entire experience.

In case you forgot, Republican members of Congress incited an insurrection, refused to convict the former president, and are working around the clock to cover up their actions.

I'm not interested in compromise with members that have no interest in governing.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

So proud that this books is out today. I’ve said it once, but I’ll say it again: I truly believe we can raise this wounded world into a wondrous one. I, for one, am here for the climb. Love, Amanda 💛 https://t.co/RNEHb4H7A9

It should not be easier to buy an AR-15 than it is to vote.

Being “colorblind” is not the solution to racism. See people fully. Love people deeply.

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” #MayaAngelou

[Tracking Biden From The Left @BidenTracking]

It is day 53 of the Biden presidency. Joe Biden has not released the kids from cages.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because “you look suspicious.” I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.

Actual video of Senator Sinema voting no to the minimum wage amendment:

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This week, as part of the reconciliation bill, I will be offering an amendment to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

I got 99 problems but new SNL with Regina King on Saturday will solve about 98

We have to stop talking about racism like it’s a mere difference of opinion.

When racist people fear that racism, in tandem with militarism and poverty, is being legitimately challenged and deconstructed, they try to prevent that.

And the outcomes are often deadly:

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you." #MayaAngelou

Hi, I'm Mari, I'm 13 and for the past five years I have been fighting to get clean water, not just in Flint, but in the hundreds of communities nationwide dealing with toxic water.
I have my own filter that I ship nationwide to help people.
