My piece in Salon about why I strangely feel better despite Trump’s second presidency being much worse. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/t...

I wrote for @Salon about despite how horrific the 1st weeks of Trump's 2nd presidency have been, or perhaps because of it, I feel strangely better. Finally, the danger is pervasive, undeniable and has sparked collective resistance, like today's Economic Boycott. ✊🏾♥️🙏🏾 www.salon.com/2025/02/28/t...

White Wellness Folks: Focus on yourself. Your happiness is the best resistance in these times. Me: GTFOH Black & Brown Wellness Folks: Let’s take care of ourselves, let’s take care of each other. Let’s remember our joy even as we resist injustice. Me: 👏🏾♥️🙏🏾

If Biden pardoned his son because he felt his prosecution was politically motivated, I hope he will pardon a host of Black and brown incarcerated individuals whose prosecutions were racially motivated.

As we’ve reported on sexual misconduct by OB-GYNs, we’ve learned that many women felt they didn’t know what was normal during a visit, or didn’t know what they could do to speak up. We created this guide to help fill this gap. 👇

Look, imma be honest. As a black woman and as a journalist, I’m pissed off at libs/dems. Trump has been who he was for *ten* years. Many of us wrote, warned and screamed about people who would literally die due to misogyny and white supremacy. A lot of yall did not not listen. Now here we are.

If anyone somehow missed memo from 8 years ago: People from every sector need to be part of the resistance, it is not just up to activists. It’s up to doctors, nurses, teachers, professors, students, writers, parents, artists, designers, farmers, corporate folks, etc… If you’re enraged, get engaged.
