So far, Republicans would rather shut down the government. So Americans face flight delays, reduced services, and mounting economic damage.
It's time for Trump and Republicans to change course on health care and reopen the government.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

How are the MAGAs liking Musk today? 😂 We agree the bill is an abomination, but don’t get it twisted, Musk. It only took an international boycott to get you to change your tune. We’re still boycotting you. We haven’t forgotten. Foxtrot Echo Mike.

When something in the news makes me furious, I see if there's something I can *do*, even if it's as small as spending on time on books they don't want us reading or writing. (author friends, join @authorsabb.bsky.social, publisher friends get involved w/ anti book banning efforts in your houses!)

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Took 5 min today and whipped up simple designs in Canva. Sized to fix 2 x 4" and 1 x 1 5/8" mailing labels. Print them by the sheet and stick them up: lampposts, parking meters, sidewalks. (Just don't be a jerk.)
Remind people this isn't normal & they're not alone, and encourage them to act.

If you dis not know Audre Lorde (1934–1992) was a poet, essayist, librarian, feminist, and equal rights activist. #BlackHerStoryMonth
I can think of no more important insight for our times than that of Audre Lorde: "My silences had not protected me.
Your silence will not protect you."
Your silence will not protect you."
