*we are in and out of DC daily/weekly, and it is usually so mundane and normal that I don’t take photos. #freedc #dcnative #dclife

Here are some pictures of our terror filled experiences in DC this summer. Thank god we made it out alive.*

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

The editors saw my poem in a museum exhibit a couple of years ago, which is how I learned about the publication. #campfirestories

I’m thrilled to have my poem included in this lovely collection of poems, stories, and information about my beloved Chesapeake Bay region. The book arrived yesterday and it is full of inspiration and I feel grateful to be included amongst such talent. #chesapeakebay

They aren’t even pretending anymore

Liberal wins Wisconsin Supreme Court race in blow to Trump, Musk Conservatives were unable to topple the 4-3 liberal majority in the most expensive judicial contest in U.S. history.

Breaking news: Liberal candidate Susan Crawford defeats Brad Schimel for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, overcoming a flood of political cash from tech billionaire Elon Musk in a race seen as a referendum on him and President Donald Trump.

People on here who are poo-pooing Booker underestimate the power of storytelling in politics.

Yes he did! I’m so inspired by record breaking and still eloquent(after 25 hours!) Sen Cory Booker! #goodtrouble #corybooker #takeamericaback

Go Senator Booker, we needed this and we appreciate you! #corybooker #icon #hero #goodtrouble

What a lovely day to spend an hour at the National Arboretum with my daughters. #nationalarboretum #hanami #cherryblossoms #dcnative

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Yep

The Idiocracy Bros are really winning it all. #hegseth #idiocracy #textingclassifiedinfo #cantmakethisup

We are all in the debris field of a SpaceX mishap

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight.

This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here.

What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

Exactly

Yep

Sorting through papers, today, I found this schoolwork from my child’s elementary school days. The sentence about how Ruby’s actions helped her and her friends is one that feels more intense, this year, than in 2017, when things were actually pretty grim. #rubybridges #resist #diversitymatters
