Ever notice how white Americans only ever identify races/nationalities when talking about people who aren’t obviously white Americans? I do.

Having grown up eating condiment sandwiches, I just put 1000 Island dressing on a sandwich for the first time in over 30yrs and it’s still so good… Y’all rich Americans aren’t going to know what to do with y’all’selves in the coming years…

Heard an NPR story about a Russian woman sentenced to 5yrs after her neighbor turned her in for speaking against the invasion of Ukraine & all I can see is the equivalent happening here in the U.S. except it’s DEI or pronouns. Turning in a Trans neighbor or school teacher. WHAT HAPPENED TO US? 😭

Highly underrated and not talked about things that wealthy people do not understand is a sign of wealth to poor people: 1. Tissue boxes in every room of the house. 2. New socks when old socks do not have holes. 3. Full pantries and refrigerators.

When the government places a financial burden on citizens to vote, this is called a poll tax, yes?

The House on Thursday passed legislation that would require people to prove that they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote. It’s the latest effort to tighten voting laws tied to President Trump’s debunked claims of widespread election fraud. nyti.ms/3XWuNl7

There’s something about sitting on my front porch surrounded by native mining bees busy at work that grounds me. Hundreds of them swarming around and they’re completely unaware of my existence. Their hum. The birds singing. Sun almost directly overhead. A soothing reminder that life goes on.

If you’re a white American who *still* doesn’t understand your privilege, this administration is going to teach you as you watch your Black and Brown friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc, harassed for their papers over the next few years. I hope I’m wrong. I bet I’m not.

Wanna know the one thing a racist narcissist will NEVER do? Ask a “shit hole” country for help after he openly fucks up. His ego cannot do it. His racism will not do it. Hence the negotiated return of a Russian-American (whyte) woman and the middle finger to Mr. Abrego Garcia.

Beautifully speaking, in 2024, I burst into tears because I saw an openly gay Black man in his late 40’s joyfully embraced by his heterosexual white male friend in his late 20’s. I had never seen such love before and I was in awe of it because of my indoctrination.

My name is Angela. Her assigned name is Angela. My uncle called me Angelo after Muhammad Ali’s coach. They called her Angelo because she was from Angola (we presume). She was brought here to the United States in 1619 as a slave. My ancestors came here in the early 1700’s free. Continued:

My ancestors protested against her kind moving into Forsyth County, GA shortly after my birthday of January 15. Her descendants and ancestors were not documented. Did you know the name Angela means ‘Messenger of God’ to the English speaking?

If the military cannot celebrate Pride Month because “we’re not focusing on immutable characteristics”, do they realize they just publicly announced that LGBTQIA+ humans were, in fact, born this way?

I discovered a new way for parents to avoid passing down guilt due to the sins of generations past! Don’t repeat the same f*#king mistakes right in front of them.

There is a reason to laugh and it’s MAGA using closed captions to understand what Kendrick Lamar was saying just so they can turn around and complain about him and DEI and

My child wakes at 6:30am and prepares for their work day which runs from 7:45am - 2:15pm. We go to the gym and arrive home around 4pm. Sometimes they bring work home with them. Now it’s 5pm. 😳 That’s 10.5hrs of work/after work activities and their bedtime is in 4.5hrs. Continued…

What I DO know is, doctors recommend they get more sleep than adults and that tells me that their capacity for life is growing and they need more rest and freedom than we too often give them. And this is all me talking to myself, too.

Maybe like America loves to proclaim “If you can’t afford to take care of your kids, you shouldn’t have kids”. Maybe I’m tired of hearing “They have so much energy!” when I’ve seen kids fall asleep in class because home isn’t a safe place to relax and be a child. Maybe I remember when that was me.

Unpopular opinion time: They’re learning responsibility as they grow. So maybe forcing our kids to share the responsibility of taking care of the home is too much. Maybe as I told MY parents when I was young, it’s NOT a child’s job to take care of their family. Continued…

Are you a #drummer or know someone who is?! Here’s a shameless plug of my husband’s #smallbusiness: You can shop via the link below or find the Drum Buddy at Earth Shaking Music in #Atlanta. #deafanddrum #shopsmall

Wouldn’t it be wild if someone saw that in the not too distant future the U.S. is going to legalize cannabis and then need an influx of federal prisoners to maintain those govt contracts so they looked around and said, “Well who else can we stigmatize as a whole?” and someone said “MIGRANTS”.

I’m beginning to think I should be tested for #neurodivergency/#adhd cause I check soooo many boxes and yet I thought they were just symptoms of the abuse I suffered in early childhood. Anyone out there that can relate?

“Your body doesn’t need coffee. It needs rest.” - Bruce Lee Day 20: No caffeine. No sugar. I awoke from a dream in which I was drinking a can of Coke and realized my 6am alarm had been going off for a full 5 minutes…

My neighborhood is 350+ single family homes (with some PadSplits) and it is diverse. On my street alone there are Jamaican-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Indian-Americans. Black Americans, and white Americans. Some elderly. Some with kids. Our home is 🏳️‍🌈 and I know other neighbors who are as well.

My biggest complaint? I wish more neighborhoods were like mine. 🤘🤘🤘 How about you? Tell me about your community and why you love it! #neighbors #community #myamerica

We hardly have any crime in our neighborhood. We mostly voted Blue according to the yard signs but we still look out for our neighbors with other signs in the yard. 😁 We have a community group instead of an HOA. We do community cleanups and partner with our local schools to support them as well.

ICE arrest data from 2020-2024. Colombia accounts for approx 31k of the 500k arrested (31/500=.06) and now the entirety of the U.S. could be in a trade war over current deportees. I don’t understand this new MAGA math.
