And I think I probably got the better trophy.
Acceptance feels good. She feels peaceful and sturdy. I can respect her and find strength in her.
Happy to have made it Home.
I thought Love was the game I was playing, and that each of those bases were the cost (one I was always ready to pay) in order to win the game- win the trophy. Earn myself the Relationship I was so certain I wanted.
But I wasn’t running for Love, I was running through Grief.
Grief
Apparently Grief has been my companion (my coach, really) all this time, not Love, not Fear.
It all makes sense to me now, in hindsight, here from the dugout of Acceptance. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Sadness must have been the bases I had to run before making it back home to Rest.

We don’t need billionaires. We need
- affordable housing
- universal healthcare
- living wages
- clean & reliable public transit
- affordable childcare
Imagine if the rewards of our hard work went back into our communities instead of being hoarded by a handful at the top.
We can expect Trump to direct a criminal investigation into Act Blue. From there Trump will target other platforms that raise money for Dems. Like Hitler, Trump and MAGA dream of a "thousand-year Reich." But It's NOT happening on our watch!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
De-Google your life.
Not only because they’re removing history and heritage months from their holiday calendars, but also because they track, steal, and sell your data.
A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"
What’s your next faithful step?
Is there someone else who should be invited to throw down on this with you?
Real questions I’m asking myself too.
Feel free to share and remember that, in this and every season, not everything should be shared on the internet. 😘❤️✊🏾
Overwhelmed? Totally understandable.
Take a breath. Recall your values.
Based on those values—what can you individually be responsible for in this moment? What are you accountable for in relationship to our collective liberation?
They grumble while they’re doing it, but these two sure take care of each other. There’s a deep, deep love here between my grandparents. It’s palpable.

Trump is not for workers.
He wants to give himself and his billionaire friends major tax breaks, and he wants to take working people’s food, healthcare, and housing to pay for it.
Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
