Forever: People First. Dream Big. Fight Hard. My cats are proud of me, I can tell. She/her
- Adults having breakfast at a friend’s apartment before heading off to work is the biggest lie television ever told me.
- What are y’all doing tomorrow? Can we all watch Black Panther together?
- Y’all aren’t resigning you’re letting your vacation run out but ok.
- Full term abortions are not a thing. Late term abortions are not a thing. Open borders are not a thing. We need to stop letting right wing talking define the parameters of our debate. This has been a PSA.
- Cis women do not own womanhood. We are not its gatekeepers. Of course trans women are women, but also, and most importantly, it’s not up to me.
- It hurts that she had to think about this in her final moments. It hurts that she felt the weight she did in her final years. I’m grateful for her strength and wish she didn’t have to be so strong.
- A quick reminder: homophobic jokes about awful people are...still homophobic. And the queer folks in you life don’t just see your pride tweets. They also see those. And they get the message that their identities are only worthy of pride if you agree with them. So knock it off.
- The way @ewarren speaks about race and the legacy of racism gives me chills. Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m more excited to work for her or to vote for her.
- Breonna Taylor’s name is no longer trending and the police that murdered her are still free. If you see this please reply/quote/tweet on your own.

- Tomorrow Saturday August 29th, join us at 8pm ET to watch Black Panther together. Grateful people want to do this - I, for one, could really use a night with my people. #WakandaForeverWhat are y’all doing tomorrow? Can we all watch Black Panther together?
- Every time someone asks me about his Spanish I’m just going to share this clip. The double standard so many Latinos face around this issue is infuriating.Julian Castro is practicing his Spanish, and tells @kasie why he didn't grow up speaking the language: "In my grandparents' time... Spanish was looked down upon. You were not allowed to speak it. People, I think, internalized this oppression..."
00:00 - The number of people (myself included) stunned that Amber Guyger will be held accountable tells us all we need to know about what we mean when we say #BlackLivesMatter. It’s a plea.
- Replying to @HimymCraigYes, Craig. Yes you did. Fun fact: HIMYM is also the proud sponsor of my *super* unrealistic fantasy to have friends come over at like 3 am on a Friday morning to watch a morning show and have drinks and then for us all go to work later that same morning. 😂
