Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL.
#HandsOff

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

The Department of Education was created by an act of Congress.

We will not let it be dismantled by a wannabe King.

🗓️SAVE THE DATE: May 3, 10AM EST, ONLINE

📣Our Spring 2025 Gathering’s conference theme is one word: UNMUTE.

📣It is a call to action for anyone who has been trying to regain their footing and voice in this whirlwind of devastating news we encounter daily.

More details to come.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Musk keeps firing us, and with all this free time, we’re organizing America. They call us “paid protesters”—but seriously, where do we sign up for that paycheck? We’re open to those “Soros bucks.” Every day, we spill the tea, knowing retribution is coming.

Many are asking what should we do now?
“We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’”
-fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living, and I know I don't have to believe in everything, but I believe in that. - Nikita Gill

A soft, small, hopeful thing.

Me too. I think having a snow day made it harder to stay away from the news. Hoping tomorrow is better.

I don't want to see their ugly faces. I don't want to hear their ugly voices. Resistance doesn't require it. I'm busy over here being kind. Wasn't Ketanji's necklace great? There are a lot of sore hearts in the world tonight and I wish you all restorative sleep.

Thank you! Yes, I wrote about it back then too, but my notebooking actually started in the fourth grade! :)

This year marks FIVE YEARS of #100DaysofNotebooking! I hope you are getting your notebook and pens ready. I've been reflecting on this past year and making plans for the upcoming year. The only rule for notebooking is SHOW UP to the PAGE!!! What you do there is just for you! (We have a group on FB.)

Never give up hope that, one day, you will pull a book from a bookshelf and that secret door will finally open for you.

A few messages from the last few days. Whether I post them or not, please always remember how much you matter!!!! #Youmatter #wmsyoumatter

Best day ever! #Youmatter #wmsyoumatter

Do the thing you think you can’t do. Who said that? It’s sooo true! Today I ran the fastest I’ve run since I joined almost year ago. Thank you to OTF and my coach, Corbin! Your words of encouragement today motivated to go faster than I thought I could!!! (5.0 & 5.2)

Started Thanksgiving with an amazing workout! This is NOT about earning my dinner. I don’t workout to lose weight. I workout to be strong and to feel good. We must live our bodies! Take care of them. Keep them strong. Feed them. Happy Thanksgiving!

Remembering my dad on his heavenly birthday! He was born on Thanksgiving. I’m so grateful for the time we had together. Miss you and love you, Dad!!!!
