Gliding, music (mainly organ/piano), languages (French/Spanish/German/Mandarin), technology, parkrun slowly, cycling slowly, sometimes/frequently wine, and politics
So many layers of corruption.

Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
The old adage "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes" has never been more true that with current politicians - on both sides of the Atlantic (if we're still allowed to call it that...)

I guess she was early days MAGA.
