The Mountaintop
We lift every voice and sing — The name of a Black Woman who stood at the mountaintop. With audacity that reflected off the glass ceilings that shattered when you spoke her name.
Kamala Devi Harris. You stood. Standing in the spirit of Shirley Chisolm, Unbought, Unbossed and Undenying.
You dreamed. The girl who would not be deferred and went on to write a letter to the world with a signature that now reads — It’s Possible.
It’s Possible for a Black girl from Oakland, California, to see the mountaintop. And when she gets there to take the world off her shoulders and sit. Sitting in the resilience of Fannie Lou Hammer, you took the world by Storm. Never going Rouge and letting anyone take you out of character.
You laughed. You filled rooms with hope and integrity and lit paths with perseverance. You opened. Doors that had been closed. You stepped — Over walls that had been built.
You climbed. The Mount Everest of expectations with a smile that sat at the intersection of joy and justice. Because a country built in spite of you, you stood in spite of.
You are the embodiment of what can be, unburdened by what has been. Rest in the knowing that you are ours.
We thank you for the view from your moutaintop.
I’ve been all over the country in the last month.
And I get asked the same question, over and over again:
“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”
Here is my answer:
Geraldine Ferraro.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Elena Kagan.
Sonia Sotomayer.
Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Madeleine Albright.
Nancy Pelosi.
Barack Obama.
Hillary Clinton.
Kamala Harris.
It's time to make history again America...
Madame President Kamala Harris. 🇺🇸
@TELUSSupport There are errors on my phone bill - it is incorrectly linked to someone else's account- How can I talk to someone to have this corrected?
Ladies and gentlemen...the weekend. Why do we have it? Because organized labor fought for it — and because of a lesser-known labor leader you need to know about.
Here’s to @BillieJeanKing and all the changemakers who broke barriers and opened doors for future generations—and to the @USOpen for raising the bar not just for the tennis world, but for the entire world. 🎾
"'White nationalism' is an 'active' threat to the Canadian Armed Forces, a new report says, but the Forces' counter-intelligence unit is under-resourced and unable to 'proactively' deal with the issue."
NASA just released one of the most detailed videos ever of our universe.
Give yourself a minute to watch the whole thing... It's mesmerizingly beautiful.
In @MetroVancouver you can text Bill Picha ( "Peeka") if you find an unwanted honey bee hive on your property - in a tree, under the eaves, in a wall or attic.
He will safely remove them and take them to his blueberry farm in @Richmond_BC

@TrailBCStores my elderly parents have been waiting 2 1/2 months to have their washing machine with extended warranty purchased from you. Why the poor service to life-long clients?
We need to redefine success from money, Power and game to one that measures the amount of human energy we release, to the beauty we create, to the good we offer others. Realizimg that vision requires taking on a lot - and it's worth it. via @NYTOpinion https://t.co/rYMTnml4oB
“The field of psychology & psychiatry use the DSM for diagnosing mental disorders in individuals, yet there exists no manual for codifying the dysfunctions of an individual’s society. What if we had a means to define the insecurity of societies as a possible root of a disorder?”
NewsFlash: It's 2022 and some people still underestimate the power of women to change the world.
They’re wrong.
