I'll never forget the day that a #Navajo friend revealed the horrific abuse she suffered at one of the 523 US #IndianBoardingSchools. I pray that the @POTUS apology on behalf of the govt brings her a bit of peace. @NABSHC

Today is #WomensEqualityDay_2024
We have come far, but our forward strides are being constantly challenged by the regressive GOP.
#WeWillNotGoBack is our rising mantra.
But we also must VOTE for what we value.

Ukrainian Gold at the Games in Paris! Our sabre fencing team. Olga Kharlan, Olena Kravatska, Alina Komashchuk, Yuliia Bakastova. I thank them for the result, for the spirit, for showing that Ukrainians win!

We cheer for our athletes and support them as a nation. Ukraine knows how to inspire both at the Olympic Games and times like these!

Thank you @POTUS @VP for your tenacious + delicate diplomacy that freed Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, Vladimir Kara-Murza + my fellow Bowdoin alum and fellow writer Evan Gershkovich who as he was leaving Russia put in a request to interview #Putin. Now THAT'S a gutsy journalist!

Since my Dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s almost a decade ago, I haven’t had the courage to listen to “Fix You”, one of my all-time favorites songs. But then this happened at #Glastonbury. @coldplay + @MichaelJFoxOrg on stage. Music is so incredible. ♥️

Take a look at these massive icebergs I saw in Disko Bay #Greenland, melting away + the biggest contributor to sea level rise globally. Unless we reduce #fossilfuel use by 50% by 2035, a climate time bomb goes off says the UN IPCC. #EarthDay2024

#BlackHistoryMonth and #PresidentsDay honor trailblazer Shirley Chisholm, a woman light years ahead of her time, who I had the privilege of meeting for lunch in 1983. I wish my hero was here today to run for President. She'd win this time! #Shirley

This #Alzheimer's commercial made me weep as I saw glimpes of my Mom in her final days. I wept for the fact that there is no cure + the number of #caregivers grows by the hour. Please @chevrolet will you make a generous donation for Alzheimer's research? https://t.co/49SoUKeIwR

I'm thankful for the 16 million Americans who are #Alzheimers #caregivers and everyday #heroes. Here's a tribute to my Mum who experienced the joy of turkey and stuffing even as her memory faded away: "Alzheimer's and the Case of the Missing Turkey."
