    Every time I watch The Devil Wears Prada (which is every time its on) I want to redo the scene when her friends take her phone and have her take her gifts back when she leaves. It irritates me every time. 😠

    Few people know that I cut my teeth organizing around the CP5 case. In particular when Trump pulled this our youth organizing group decided we had to speak up and push back. I am so glad to see bring this story to the mainstream.

    On this day thirty years ago, Trump bought $85k worth of ads in NYC papers calling for the execution of boys known as The Central Park 5 - before their trial. Today, we replace his hateful ad with another image. They were innocent. And the system failed them.

    My heart is still so full from last night’s tribute to Ntozake Shange at the Public Theater. I can honestly say that of the many things I have taken part in over the last year this was one…

    There was *only* ONE victim. 😠😡😤🤯🤬

    No jail time for NY school bus driver who admitted to raping 14-year-old girl. The judge says the 26-year-old has no prior arrests and there was one victim, so the sentence was appropriate.

    Well -- clearly I need to purchase a rice cooker! *logs into amazon* Also love the suggestions for broth. I cook my (amazingly delicious) collard greens in vegetable broth (and other secret ingredients) bc my child is vegetarian so I had to stop cooking with meat. Love it!

    It’s the end of the day...but still time to participate in Support organizations like that supports organizing training for queer and trans youth! ✊🏾

    I'm sure that you've noticed that today is , the only national day of giving for the LGBTQ community. I try to support at least one organization every year on this day. This year, I'm supporting three groups who do incredible work & could use your support.

    The Catholic Church has millions of dollars to rebuild. These folks do not.

    I ❤️ Notre Dame as a historic building. Great to see the big bucks going to its restoration. But as pointed out where’s the support for black churches in the south that need our help. That’s were I’m putting our money !
