Inspired by the fear that my own kid could become legally not mine, if a Trump Supreme Court nominee replaces RBG, I decided tonight is the night I start working on adopting my own youngest kid. With gratitude to @morgan_weinert for holding me to account. Updates with be ongoing.

@latoyadjordan @fosterhood Haha, I really love 30 as the answer. We've said 16. For now the 11yo has a gabb phone with text/photo/call/maps/weather. I wanted no browser as well because I don't think her brain is ready for inifinite scroll either. She has more access on her ipad/but more time limits.

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.

I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

@KelseyWaitsMN For some kids an advocacy role is a good fit and can build confidence through taking back power. For other kids it may feel stressful and dangerous-and it shouldn't have to be their job-but I think you speak too universally here and it sounds like criticism of others' choices.

@alexeives I'm pretty sure at least your wife likes you better.

@MaryAnnDakkak Maybe for a certain demographic it's word that easily comes to mind? Or we should both okay the lottery today?

Our district isn't going remote... I'm grateful my 4 yo is an accomplished mask+eye protection wearer. Also this hat tho.

@saltylungs Boo, hiss! Strong vibes coming your way.

@alexeives I'm sure G will be nice when she explains you need two words to get the money.

Kiddo explained tonight at dinner that her bff in 3rd grade finally got her first shot. But apparently she's not getting another one because her mom, "only did it so they could get the $200." 🤯That mom is a medical professional. 🤯

After much advocacy @harvardmed students finally have *required* material on #structuralracism #CRT and #reparations in their curriculum. Thanks to the leadership and brilliance of @sofsandovl @tafolabi_MD @tsaiduck77 @michellemorse @f_saldanaMD and so many others over the years

She's pretty, but do you see this look of disdain after waking me up at 3AM?

Just rx'd some oseltamivir and it's weird!!!

MN removes race as factor in access to COVID-19 antibodies. https://t.co/fH8T8st2HN Racism uses race to deny Black/Brown people opportunities that promote health and decrease risk. How dare people argue it shouldn’t be used to protect these same people.

Missoula Soft Landing is in need of injera cookers for Eritrean refugees new to the area. Imagine being in Montana, in the dead of winter, w/o the means to make a staple of your diet! They're $130; I'll match every dollar donated so we can fulfill the need. Venmo is annehelen

Before United Airlines' vaccine requirement went into effect, on average more than one employee died each week from Covid, according to the CEO. Since then, there have been zero hospitalizations and deaths from the virus among vaccinated staff.
