A bleeding heart does not mean an empty head! I strive to show compassion for all, but have low tolerance for stupidity & cruelty. Also, I swear A LOT. she/her
Yesterday, when I was up at the ass crack of dawn in a nature preserve, I heard a skittering behind me and turned around to find this little guy eyeballing me. What a cutie.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “You wrote this incredibly powerful piece for Substack. It was kind of an intro to a letter that you sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee about your concerns about @DAGToddBlanche being nominated to be the Attorney General. You include a reference about something that’s very personal. You talk about how Blanche subjected you and your family to an extended course of RETALIATORY CONDUCT, including attempting to PREVENT you from informing Congress about his actions. U.S. Marshalls delivered an intimidating letter to your home. What should people understand about the DANGER it would pose for Blanche to be confirmed as the Attorney General? 😳
How I Slept Today
Migraine broke while I was asleep. Now just have the hangover. Visual effects and exhaustion. It’s not fun when you wake up and feel like you need to go to bed.

Ice and cold water distribution at La Guaira….@WCKitchen we have up to 6 trucks doing this all day long, refilling our feeding stations and distributing all across to keep search and rescue teams hydrated and with cold water! #ChefsForVenezuela
Sometimes reality is crazier than science fiction. This is the international space station, carrying humans, passing between my spot in the desert and the moon.

The UN for the first time in history officially named a sitting president, Donald Trump as a racist whose hate speech has caused grave human rights violations
Trump didn't make the United States racist... He made the racists feel comfortable enough to show their racism in public
