My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.
What a legend.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.
Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.
Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?
Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.
Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.
Stop escaping it.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

i think the hardest part about healing is realizing there’s no finish line. no big dramatic moment where everything feels suddenly better. it’s slower than that. it’s quieter. it’s choosing not to text them back. it’s making your bed on a heavy day. it’s being kind to yourself when your mind is cruel. healing is a thousand tiny victories no one else sees.

My gosh…we passed 2,000 subscribers overnight. Either you’re all extremely loyal, or you’ve fully lost it. Either way—I’m honored.
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for following me here. Thank you for reminding The Woman that a formerly stray cancer-killing machine with strong opinions and questionable table manners still has pull.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get spiffed up for my checkup with Dr. Kenny—the only human I willingly allow to poke, prod, and praise me.
I’ll report back later…

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

When Knowing His Name Is Enough
We spend years chasing the hand of God—petitioning for provision, calling for clarity, yearning for the next breakthrough. But something shifts when we stop asking what He can do, and start desiring who He truly is.
The soul, weary of striving, begins to awaken when it whispers His name—not as a formula, but…

The progressives that hate Liz Cheney are as bad as the MAGA people that hate her. They are both absolutely childish and getting high off the same social media algorithm drugs. I don't have to agree with 100% of her policy position to respect the sh*t out of her. She clearly is a patriot. Everything else is a distant for me, a Chicago-based Democrat voter.
How is she a patriot when she refuses to vote for voting rights protections?
Does she? Or does she refuse to vote for the voting omnibus bill the House Democrats are pushing? I’m fine with a maximal voting rights bill but a conservative position that it’s too big is fair.
So, she's proposed a counter that guarantees voting rights fully as the Voting Rights Act did?
How is it "fair" to oppose guaranteed voting rights for call Americans?
You’re proving my original point, Paul.

It's not a fair position to oppose the Voting Rights Act. It's a racist position

The Abrego-Garcia case is a perfect litmus test for whether a person understands and is truly committed to the rule of law. If you can’t admit the plain error here, you are captured and, through either tribal loyalty or blind trust, are losing touch with an important part of what America is.
Trumps Latino numbers are showing significant decline. Here’s what we know:
• Latino support remained relatively steady for Trump Until the last two weeks

Yes Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time but let’s stop pretending that chewing gum is as valuable as walking.
Republicans have given Democrats a gift of letting them back into relevancy on the economy. They shouldn’t return the favor by losing focus on the issue that will determine the fate of the country: The economy.
