Do not send your child to college in Texas. You'll pay money and they'll get an inferior education.

If we lived in a decent nation, we could give all children free breakfast and lunch at school and use those meals to teach them about nutrition. They could use locally sourced food.

I've never had all of my ducks in a row. A few are always slightly off to the side, a couple are distant, on the horizon, but I can still see them, and there's always one that's just errant. The errant duck.

I've hated swimming in the Atlantic all my life because it's so cold. Not anymore. I went in last weekend and wasn't cold at all. It's warm.😐

My sister told me she went to the grocery store to buy a piece of carrot cake. She went to the register and the person behind it asked her if she thought she should be eating that.

Yesterday, the abject disrespect afforded to both Fani Willis and Diane Abbott by white men got to me. The hatred for Black women is intense and I feel all of it.

One signal we're on the road to sanity would be the removal of all drug commercials.

The farm my kid gets CSA produce from in MA has completely flooded, ruining everything that was grown for summer, as well as the fall. Climate change is ALREADY HAPPENING.

When I advised POC college students, I encouraged all of them to go abroad for the whole of junior year. There were many obvious reasons for this, but I also wanted them to have a break from the racism here, and know they could live elsewhere, that they had choices.

The members of the Court clearly don't care about the reputation of the Court.

We could have a mandatory two-year program between high school and college where students serve the nation between by helping communities prepare for and/or repair climate change damage. They could be placed in parts of the nation very different from their own and with a diverse mix of their peers, both ethnically and socio-economically.

The government, media and people at large lied about the motives of protesters in the Civil Rights Movement too.

I want to see a movie where we band together across the globe to defeat fascism, the evils of capitalism and combat climate change with cool, new innovations.

Notice how quickly the fascists moved from not requiring masks under the guise of freedom to OUTLAWING masks for everyone in NC.
