I needed to know bc I accidentally (on purpose) peeked and was… worried?

When voters like me say, "I'm voting for my daughter's freedom," we're not thinking of abortion rights, exactly.

We are thinking of the lust to control that we see burning in the eyes of some men. We are voting to protect our daughters and granddaughters from THAT.

I have said it before and I will say it again:

We are not going to “wellness”, “good vibes” or “one on one therapy” our way of out of a mental health crisis that is a direct outcome of structural and economic violence and inequality.

@EstherCinDC Life before Tatte is unimaginable to me. I mean, I was there but honestly how? why? for what?

[Jennifer Jajeh @jenjajeh]

I’ve been quiet lately. I’ve said everything. What is left? To post the latest war crime? To reiterate the inhumanity? It’s not enough. This is a time of action. I’m asking myself & you to step into more powerful, fierce, creative & audacious ways of being. The times demand more.

There are no winners with the death penalty. Marcellus’s family members are now victims, too. Missouri is not a safer or better place because of this execution. The actions of state officials and the courts call the legitimacy of the entire legal process into question.

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

The execution of Marcellus Williams is a horrible injustice. This didn’t have to happen. Just a couple weeks ago, prosecutors—with the support of the victim’s family—had reached a plea agreement with Marcellus that took death off the table.

The smear campaign against Rashida is absolutely reprehensible.

Spreading blatant misinformation and refusing to issue a correction is malpractice.

This is irresponsible and poor journalism. Do better @CNN.

John Mulaney getting on stage and mercilessly mocking everyone at Salesforce’s Dreamforce conference is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read

If your first thought is to spew hate at Janet Jackson instead of understanding how easy it is for our elders to fall prey to misinformation then maybe you should take a step back and ask why

Here comes the universe telling me I got this from the depths of my soul I got this.

After a few tough weeks in parenting, I sat down to reflect and process. I looked to my tarot deck to help focus my reflection and wouldn’t you know - I pulled the Queen of Wands.

Not even one week after sending some musings to my sisters that my motherhood looked so different from my contemporaries and I wasn’t always sure that was not a bad thing….

School shootings so normalized in this country they don’t get time for discussion on the debate stage.
