Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

#NPR #CNN #CBS #NBC #ABC Stop using the phrase “Pro-Trump supporters” or “Protestors” and start using words to describe what they actually are: “an attempted violent coup to overturn our democracy by white supremacist terrorists”

A reflection on President Trump’s comments last night:

The last President I covered who refused to accept the vote count in an election was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran, 2009.

I presented this worship service with my brother @scott_saleska 10 years ago, but especially with the increased efforts around preventing global warming, it is still relevant:

@BWWings Way to tell a half-truth, covering up that today you also suddenly stopped Tuesday bogo boneless take-out, which you’ve done for years. Just found out tonight with no warning, and local mgmt was terrible. Not going back.

JUST IN: House votes 240-187 to approve resolution condemning Pres. Trump's Twitter attacks against congresswomen. https://t.co/TLCV3rks7a

@BWWings all hyped about “offering” bogo for trad wings dine-in, but you’ve done that for decades. Now you cancel Tues take-out bogo boneless w/o notice (no signs, no email) and your local Knollwood MN store management was rude about it. No compensation, nothing. Not going back.
