Thank you @Chase for this image of me with 2 of my 4 kiddos. As a busy mother of four, I often hear “wow, you have your hands full!” What folks who state the obvious fail to acknowledge is that my heart is in fact what is full. @serenawilliams #thismama #keepgoing #parenting

@notcapnamerica 74,222,958 ppl voted for Donald Trump.

74,222,958 ppl who are racist and will never admit to being racist.

They're not in some secret bunker. They're everywhere. In the supermarket. At your job. In your family.

On that carnival cruise.

Oh look, Carnival Cruise is clutching pearls about Rob O’reilly’s blatant racism on their ship, but they knew damn well he does that 💩in his acts. His Twitter page is full of racist anti-blackness!

There are many in our area in need and won’t have socks this winter. 3.5 million people experience homelessness every year and the average temperature in the winter is 30 degrees. How can you help?

Folks, I respect the Queen as much as the next person. I offer my condolences to the Brits and all who loved her. But can I please get some news and footage of the effects of Fiona in Puerto Rico? For those who need reminding, they are American citizens in distress. 🇵🇷

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Puerto Rico: **has no power or potable water**

Every cable news network: "Was that?....yes, I believe a spider just crawled across the queen's coffin"

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

All the tv news networks are running the funeral for a monarchy we ousted and basically doing little or nothing on Puerto Rico. Which has been devastated in a storm.

[Ruth Mendes @Havekiddoswill]

Educators, don't miss an opportunity to acknowledge what is happening in the Caribbean. Many students have loved ones in PR & DR. My own kid spent a week in Puerto Rico last spring. People we know, love and are connected to are without power and basic necessities. #HurricaneFiona
