Today in court, my sister’s husband pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter charges, finally admitting after 4.5 years that he murdered her.
He was sentenced to one year of house arrest and five years of probation. If this disgusts you, it should.

We're all tired but seriously let's take a minute to thank all the people who are counting our votes in a historic pandemic. It's hard, thankless, and now suddenly dangerous work. Thank you to everyone who's counting the ballots!

Many women are leaving the workforce, and the biggest points of pain are among women of color & women with young children
