My advice to younger & older women alike as we end one year and enter the next. Learn who you really are. Love that woman. Enter the new year with a renewed sense of self.

P. S. Men could learn from this as well. ✨Happy Holidays ✨

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.

How did he do it?

NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

I avoid tired Christmas music of the kind they play in CVS while you're hunting your cold meds. But here are some of my favorite Xmas songs:

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has banned abortion for veterans, including in states that protect abortion. This was a Project 2025 recommendattion and it's now been fulfilled. So much for "leaving it to the states."

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Toyota and Lexus sales are still going pretty strong.

So I’m wondering if many of you hate EVs even more than you hate Elon.

Toyota is one of the biggest lobbyist against clean energy vehicles.

This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
