Former journalist…
Former social media manager…
Former brand ambassador…
Now perplexed what space I want to hold online, personally.
But I know I want to be informed
Raise kind humans
Be an empathetic global citizen
And fight against the hate and lunacy in our world.
So here we are… #RiseUp

“A leaderFUL moment,” so true.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

For giving, this is a very good resource for mutual aid orgs, personal fundraisers, and nonprofit/community org donations.

Besides that, the best thing you can do is prepare your own communities. If it can happen here or Lewiston, Maine, it can happen anywhere.

Minnesotans are mad, and helping. Anxious, and helping. Grieving, and helping. I have never been more proud to be one among them. 💙 #IceOut #ForGood #LoveThyNeighbor

THIS. Must extend subsidies.
Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.
This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.
Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.
Be warned.

Seriously…
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.
