This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Best $5 I’ve spent at the record store in while. Took a chance on this British pop/reggae/folk rock band I’ve never heard of upon reading the lyrics “What’s keeping the White House white / is it chalk, is it fog, is it fear?” Glad I snagged it! #NowSpinning #LatinQuarter #ModernTimes

I am embarrassingly late to this game, but I started listening to Bad Bunny this AM. Can’t understand a word he’s saying (& I’m a lyrics person 😭😭) but, f*ck, he’s talented & his music is catchy! Currently watching his NPR Tiny Desk concert 🎶🎶 F*ck MAGA & I can’t wait for the SB halftime show.

It's simply amazing to me that the U.S. spent 70 years (1945-2015) constructing a post-WW2 military, economic, and social world order to its liking, only to turn around and decide it was actually the victim of this order the entire time.

Amen! The music I listen to usually changes to suit my mood. Sometimes it’s dark and somber, sometimes it’s heavy on the composition, sometimes it’s heavier rock, and sometimes it’s silly pop music bc it’s FUN.

A 4th of July poem..
Poem - black text on white background.

On July 4th

I’m a mourning widow
clothed head to toe in black.

I watch America drape its hypocrisy 
over hunched shoulders,
a delicately woven cassock
spattered with blood
of the tired / the poor / the huddled.

A bell chimes a refrain
that resonates in the darkest of space—

liberty and her justice
slain by the perversion of sanctity,
the reapers standing tall
in their chamber

one nation under seige
with misery
and corruption for all.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

Today, USAID shuts down. Experts say this could lead to 14 million deaths by 2030—including 4.5 million babies and children under 5. Let’s not forget, Trump recently let a warehouse full of food aid rot rather than feed the hungry. This isn’t America first. It’s America heartless.

My daughter relies on Medicaid. We don't "get" Medicaid. We don't receive a check from Medicaid. Medicaid covers her life-saving medical expenses. Medicaid is health insurance. Medicaid is health care. That's what Medicaid is. And that's why we need our senators to #VoteNo and #ProtectMedicaid.

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T. All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations. There is no justification for this.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.
