Finding treasure at the parents' house! Discovered my old 90s plaques all carefully preserved in mom's plastic wrap 🏆✨ These were built to last - they definitely don't make hardware like this anymore! #NostalgiaTrip #90sKid #Memorylane #ElMonte 🕰️💙
We were there in red red red Yorba Linda California
We're not going backwards
States like Indiana, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and more drew even bigger crowds than on 4/5. We’re in awe of you, America. You know you did something right when even Fox News is covering it. Wow!! We love you!
4 million strong! I'm so energized and proud that we showed up and let our voices be heard @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @altnps.bsky.social
We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes
Can you believe someone dedicated to helping others faced unkindness? 💔 Miss Cúc is from the Vietnamese Redemptorist Mission in Long Beach.

It's a stark reminder: let's CHOOSE respect for everyone. ❤️

Kayaking is one of my favorite things to do! How about you?
Loving cuddle time with my nephew! 😙
Yes he's got to go 💯💯💯
I have a nonprofit called Tree of New America that is helping end #foodinsecurity

We connect rescued food from grocery stores, food banks, food pantry and direct it to people in managed housing. It's incredibly rewarding and I'm proud of the work we're doing
I edited the video and then I sent this person an email this morning expressing my sentiment and reminding them of my boundaries
To all volunteers out there: your work matters. If you're feeling undervalued, set boundaries. If you work with volunteers, show appreciation. Gratitude fuels passion. Let’s build a culture where kindness & effort are recognized. #Volunteering #Respect (5/5)
This experience reminded me: boundaries matter. Volunteering should be fulfilling, not draining. And if you work with volunteers, please remember—our time is a gift, not an obligation. A simple “thank you” can make all the difference. (4/5)
What’s most disheartening isn’t the workload—it’s the entitlement. Volunteers give their time because they believe in something. But when their effort is met with demands instead of gratitude, it’s demotivating. Respect goes a long way. (3/5)
The person I’m working with treats me like a paid contractor—demanding edits, expecting immediate revisions, rarely acknowledging the effort I put in. It’s frustrating because I volunteered to help, not to be at someone’s disposal. (2/5)
I've been reflecting on something lately: the value of volunteer work and how it's often taken for granted. I’ve been donating my time & skills to create videos for a cause I care about—no pay, just passion. But lately, I’ve been feeling unappreciated. (1/5)
I've been #volunteering at Mary's Kitchen Pantry since September 2024. I've built so many incredible relationships. We made sandwiches to help out our friend Michaela so that she can deliver it to the #homeless people she serves in #SantaAna
We went to Mochi Lounge in Anaheim to have breakfast this weekend and it was simply yummy🤤 @animatedmeat.bsky.social couldn't stop talking about the breakfast burrito 🌯 They have games for the kiddos to enjoy while you're there!
