Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

I’m thrilled to have my poem included in this lovely collection of poems, stories, and information about my beloved Chesapeake Bay region. The book arrived yesterday and it is full of inspiration and I feel grateful to be included amongst such talent. #chesapeakebay

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

Sorting through papers, today, I found this schoolwork from my child’s elementary school days. The sentence about how Ruby’s actions helped her and her friends is one that feels more intense, this year, than in 2017, when things were actually pretty grim. #rubybridges #resist #diversitymatters

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.
