    PSA: If there’s work to be done in social justice spaces, from environmental to food, to the courts, to state and sexual violence, guaranteed Black women are already doing it. Seek out these women instead of screaming: “WHY IS NO ONE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS.” Someone always is.

  5. The DNC didn’t change the rules to ensure good, diverse candidates could remain on the debate stage. They shouldn’t change the rules to let a billionaire on. Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to play by different rules—on the debate stage, in our democracy, or in our government.

  12. Today would have been my husband’s 43rd birthday. It’s been 13 months since he died—a lifetime...and blink. If you’re so inclined, put in the air tonight for my main man.❤️❤️❤️

  13. Only "one senator supported [Bernie Sanders]," Hillary Clinton says. Well, was she the one, or has the support always been one-sided?

  17. Well bless your heart Nikki. I know you understand what you’re doing. The confederate flag is meant to honor and revere the Confederacy whose mission was to destroy the United States in order to preserve slavery. It’s that simple. Anything else is false, pandering BS.

  19. 2. I once had to cancel my youngest son dental appt. because sedation wasn't covered. It was several hundred dollars. He's autistic and, at the time, only 6. He wouldn't sit still with his mouth open—under a light, with a stranger with a strange tool in his face—without it.

  20. 1.) I once had to cancel a brain scan recommended for consistent headaches, because I had a balance from my last visit that I couldn't pay because we had escalating co-pays stemming from my husband's cancer treatment as it progressed.
