Nearly every day, I feel like the US is in dumpster fire mode, but then I see people fighting the madness and showing up and speaking up in various ways, and it keeps my hope alive. #2025

I’m in a period of #transition and oh boy, it’s no fun most of the time - with moments of “yay!” Interspersed. #lifeing

Glad to see elected officials and everyday citizens working in big and small ways to fight authoritarianism.

A little love for your timeline. 🩷
A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

Good morning. Some days you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get on with things. You can, you will, you must. You have power. ⚡️

With Trump carrying out a coordinated assault on our shared history, it’s imperative that we support our local museums.
TY to the Museum of African American History & our leaders for their partnership in telling this hostile, anti-Black White House: hands off our museums & hands off our history.

Good news: Columbia grad student & Palestinian refugee Mohsen Mahdawi, arrested during an interview paving the way to citizenship, has been freed. Another loss for Rubio & Trump.

“Several years ago, I visited the museum with my grandparents—my grandfather, who was born in 1930 Jim Crow Mississippi, and my grandmother, who was born in 1939 Jim Crow Florida.. When I asked my grandmother about it later, she kept repeating the words I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” -C Smith
In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”
So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America
And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

A few weeks ago, I finished #Hula by #JasminIolaniHakes. Beautiful multigenerational story that weaves in some historical elements about Hawaii - which was its own kingdom until colonization stripped land, language cultural practices from native peoples. Important read. #booksky

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.
In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.
Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Bing watching ALL the seasons of A Different World (classic 80’s-90’s sitcom). Just finished the episode where Jesse Jackson guest starred. He gave examples of how big movements of resistance start from a small act. (Rosa Parks as example). It gave me hope that our big & small acts matter. #resist

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.
Vaccines prevent measles.
Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.
