Five years ago: Go. Hold what remains. Carry the family through the end of an era.

Now: Return. Build the foundation for what comes next. A place where renewal is possible.

The last five years were about closing generational chapters with dignity and presence.

I closed my brother’s story.
I closed my parents’ story.
I closed the family home.
I closed the role of caretaker.

Now I get to open my own.

Healing isn’t always about becoming whole yourself.
Sometimes it’s about closing the unfinished stories of everyone who came before you — so the next chapter can exist.

When a parent deliberately starves a child, it’s called abuse. But when a president deliberately choses to starve 42 million people, they have the gall to call it “fiscal responsibility.”

Today’s sunrise edition was intense. I am grateful to start my day with a soul cleanse.

Trump’s threat to withhold federal support unless voters choose his preferred candidate is coercive abuse of power. Federal funds aren’t a campaign bargaining chip, and democracy isn’t supposed to work this way.

🚨When you feel you and your family require housing on a military base - to be “safe,” you are the problem. When these people are members of the president’s senior admin/advisory staff, they are (collectively) our problem. They have declared themselves enemies of the people. 1/2

Authoritarian logic: Only polls that praise me are real. All criticism is fake. The media is corrupt. When he says he ended eight wars, created the greatest economy, etc., he’s not describing reality; he’s describing the system he wants.

The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You "Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else."

Meta's AI plan is to automatically create personalized advertisements for companies that are different for different users, further siloing people

Zuckerberg says advertisers will "be able to give us a business objective and a credit card" and AI will do the rest

'Treasonous!' Trump condemns deal skeptics as he gives desperate farmers absurd order President Donald Trump prematurely celebrated his ongoing trade talks with Chinese President Xi Jingping Thursday by urging desperately struggling American farmers to “go out and buy more land and lar...

Trump calling it “treasonous” echoes a dangerous pattern:

Hitler’s Treachery Act: “malicious attacks” on the Führer = treason

Mussolini’s Public Security Laws: criticism of the Duce = crime against Italy

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

USDA Quietly Deletes Its Contingency Plan for Funding SNAP — NOTUS The 55-page “lapse of funding” document for USDA is no longer available online.

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents.

US National debt just grew by $1 trillion in last 70 days. With all the DOGE cuts and firings, and the supposed huge tariffs related revenues, it's clear we are being conned and our priorities and planning are distorted. #WakeUpAmerica #DontBeFooledAgain #HoldTrumpAccountable
