Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.

Agree 100% with this.

Imagine how much talent could be unleashed if we dropped our need for everyone to look a certain way. Fat people are good at more than self-deprecating humor.

Apple TV has utterly failed in marketing this show because I’ve seen the promos and I had no idea Ms. Woodard is in it! Now I want to see it!

Here’s what he’s missing:

We have a president calling immigrants “garbage” and affordability a hoax, a DOD secretary cosplaying war games with no accountability, a VP saying it’s “reasonable” to not want neighbors who speak another language, and a Speaker who believes women are inferior.

The GOP.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

What ICE tries with the Somali community in Minnesota will be telling. The vast majority of the Somalis in the state are U.S. citizens. It may be that the Administration know that, so they ratcheted-up the dehumanizing language to soften people to their plan. We must resist.

My family’s ascendancy to the middle class.

This is the way.

Charlotte grocery store offers free delivery to protect immigrant community While U.S. Border Patrol is in Charlotte detaining people, one grocer wants “to help you receive the items you need from the comfort of your home.”

Calling Foul: Breaking Down WNBA Pay and Why It Matters Breaking Down WNBA Pay for Women Athletes and Why It Matters: a case study in systemic undervaluing of women’s work

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

Immigrant rights group placing 'ICE stole someone here' signs in Ontario A citizens group in Ontario is spearheading an effort to make the community aware of incidents involving ICE agents detaining and arresting undocumented immigrants.

"A citizens group in Ontario, California is spearheading an effort to make the community aware of incidents involving federal immigration agents.

They're placing signs at the locations that read, 'ICE stole someone here'..."

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

The party desperately needs new Senate leadership.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

I’m sick and tired of Schumer putting the business class above the working class and then condescending to Dem voters. We need leaders who lead with values, transparency, and courage. How the hell do we overcome fascism if all the party has to offer is the status quo of oligarchy?

My next protest sign will object to ICE on one side and Schumer’s leadership on the other.

My next protest sign will object to ICE on one side and Schumer’s leadership on the other.

Certainly makes the whole thing look engineered by a man who should no longer be minority leader in the Senate.

Unity will require new party leadership in the Senate.

The fact that none of the 8 Dems are up for re-election in 2026 is a pretty good sign @schumer.senate.gov engineered the surrender

It is clearly past time for new Democratic leadership in the U.S. Senate. @smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com #getitdone
