It was HOT yesterday, but my family and I wanted to be counted among those taking a stand against authoritarianism in the USA. We were present. This is what democracy looks like. #NoKingsDay Denver

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Thankful for a Happy Easter with my family yesterday. Couldn’t help but think: Imagine if all of us who celebrate this holiday truly reflected and embraced these words. If we truly embraced compassion and radical love for our fellow humans, well, we would be living in a very different world.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Ooooh well played.
A screenshot of text stating:
"The University of Colorado took down its main D.E.I. webpage, and posted a new page for an Office of Collaboration."

The text suggests that the university has replaced its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) webpage with a new office focused on collaboration. The emphasis on this change might indicate a shift in policy or branding regarding diversity initiatives.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Hi. Are you doomscrolling? A lot of news happened today, and the wildfire in Los Angeles is significant in scope and damage. It's understandable if you're worried. But staring at your phone for hours won't make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late.

“I believe in believe.” Over the past few weeks I started rewatching #TedLasso. For many of us, its beauty and humor and poignant episodes helped get us through a really challenging time during the pandemic. And now as much as ever, its messages of love & acceptance I think resonate just as well.
Picture of the author wearing a Denver Nuggets baseball cap turned backwards and an old, super soft T shirt that says “I can’t adult today” and is taking a picture with her iPhone of a copy of the sign from the Apple TV+ hit show Ted Lasso taped to the bathroom mirror. The sign is a yellow rectangle sign with blue letters in all caps spelling out “BELIEVE.”
