My glorious AF wife Kathryn helped with my latest campaign video. Whatever the polls say we have to stay calm and resolute in this fight, giving whatever time, money and power we can. Get active to get out the vote TODAY. https://t.co/JMq7rJIXuE #GOTV #createtheoutcome #VOTE

@maryecronin That was not a debate. Debates are contests of intellect and policy. That was a hateful display of bullying and arrogance and outright lies. It was painful for anyone with a heart.

[Nope Maven @kabarson]

@justinaireland YES! This!

[Nope Maven @kabarson]

@chavelaque Hell yes, I would, but I'm a grandma who learned to swear from my grandma. It's a family tradition.

@AmyRoseCapetta Happy ARC Day! Happy YOU! Happy always!

@maurenegoo My mom and I kind of compete. Our goal is to find the pangram and get to genius first. Then we compare words and try to get to Queen Bee (all the words) together.

@maurenegoo Same! NYT crosswords and their other games, Spelling Bee and Tiles.

@TirzahPrice I workshopped it at VCFA. Ppl said it wasn't believable. When I said it was true, they said they believed *I* would do that, but not my MC. LOL

If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re “more devoted to order than to justice.” And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live.

Voting in Michigan's primary today is like having your heart set on Caramel Delites or Thin Mints and all that's left is a couple of dusty boxes of Shortbread. #neverthelessshepersisted #VoteBlueNoMatterWho #moreofthesame #sigh

@AmyRoseCapetta Oh, those feelings! I feel them every damn time I get to The End of every pass. It's never pure joy. It's always a mix. *hugs*
