@jduffyrice Acknowledging their pain. Listening. And massage, dinner, movie, gift cards! Anything to take their minds off it, even for an hour. Novels were a lifesaver for me.

@LRogersMI @MSULaw You’ll be so fantastic!!

[Jessica Zimbelman @ZimbelmanJ]

@mwbtpr Also went to Meijer today. It was utter chaos.

@johntruscott She would have loved this election!! We miss her!

@KSVesq Accurate. Twin preschoolers. Except I have an oral argument in our Court of Appeals on Nov 1, 2 hours from home at 10 am. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Cannot wait to vote for @ElissaSlotkin

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

I need everyone to watch this and share … this is Rep. @ElissaSlotkin & her remarks on the floor of the House were 🔥 in showing how extreme Republicans have become … watch!

As a parent of very-much-wanted twins (us through IVF), and as a parent who had one twin in the pediatric ICU with RSV, I cried multiple times reading this.

Reflecting on the miraculous growth that our kids - and we ourselves - have gone through in this magical and demanding first year as parents. https://t.co/hTHS2FuPkA

To see my friend and @HopeCollege @presidentscogin visiting people in prison is 😭🥰. Keep it up Matt! I know Hope students will be impacted for life by meeting these awesome people. Go Hope!

@wilk_maggie Congrats!! Such exciting news!

[Jessica Zimbelman @ZimbelmanJ]

@rkschiz Car seats are the only thing I’d say is worth it to go big. We bought an expensive stroller and ended up using a $100 jogging stroller from target.

I first met my future mother-in-law at her Paczki party 12 years ago. Not at all intimidating to see this superstar woman in her element. I miss her so much! (Now I’m going to get some paczkis!)

[Truscott Rossman @TruscottRossman]

Are you celebrating this Mardi Gras with a paczki? We’re looking back at good times at our annual #Paczki Party in #Lansing, started by Kelly Rossman-McKinney, and all the fun that the event brought, glimmering with purple, green & gold! We hope to celebrate in person next year.

@angielesss Am I too old to know what space buns are? 🤔

[Jessica Zimbelman @ZimbelmanJ]

Read it all. #abolishprisons

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

I wouldn't wish prison on anyone, but I'm grateful for what that deprivation and injustice taught me to hold dear. 🧵

[Jessica Zimbelman @ZimbelmanJ]

I loved my MIL and she was my friend. She taught me a lot about being a woman in a man’s profession, we read novels on the beach together, and she gave the best nim nim rides to Arla and Zadie. It’s hard to comprehend she’s gone but what a mark she left! https://t.co/Qmk997u7I2
