@d_l_mayfield I’ve been on a similar journey and relate to so much of what you say. It’s a game changer and has felt isolating too. Thanks for sharing this!

Retweet if you believe Election Day should be a federal holiday.

Remember when you used to be asked, “Smoking or non-smoking?” at a restaurant?

No? That’s because we, as a society, made the decision that people who smoke can absolutely do so, but they don’t get to endanger others in the process.

Do you see where I’m going with this or

It’s funny how the phrase "abusing the system" is thrown around when talking about welfare and food banks, but never for companies like Amazon not paying a living wage while paying zero taxes.

Abuse comes from a position of power and privilege, not vulnerability.

Imperfection simply affirms our humanity and reminds us to deepen our relationship with Source that is always offering us the nourishment, wisdom, and resources we need to thrive. Imperfection is our sacred umbilical cord.

I prefer watching the launches of independent bookstores. They’re a lot more entertaining. And they actually occupy space.

We need to quit conceding that CRT is being taught in public schools.

Conservatives do this thing where they redefine words and then people use those definitions as if they are accurate.

We gotta stop doing that.

If your kid is learning CRT, your kid is in law/grad school.

What is systemic racism?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I will never accept a system that lets billionaires add $1,620,000,000,000 to their wealth in 13 months but doesn’t raise the $7.25 minimum wage for 12 years.

Working for five days and resting for two is the biggest ever scam that’s been normalised

Dan Crenshaw’s (R-TX) district is what we mean when we say gerrymandering is a problem.

I personally know people who read books on race in 2020 who refuse to give up whiteness in 2021. Racial justice and our collective liberation can’t just be a good idea in the moment, it must be a ongoing commitment for a lifetime.

I don't mind at all having to pay taxes when the poor can't. What really pisses me off is having to pay taxes when the rich won't.

Here is my late night tweet about all the "pandemic pounds" 🤮 articles we are seeing/going to see: they are writing about physical weight instead of trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, survival and comfort. Fatphobia makes more money than attending to mental/emotional health.

“There is something deeply hypocritical about praying for a problem you are unwilling to resolve.”

@AmberWack @njvlietstra Yes! 100% agree about Ted Lasso and I’ve been debating re-watching New Girl!

If it's possible to sit in disbelief but be wholly unsurprised, that's what I am right now.

The floors of the Capital would be flooded with blood if these seditious people were anything other than white.
