A momentous day for women, a giant step for the United States, and a relief for the whole world 🌍

*deep, unending guttural sigh*

So many activists, community leaders and volunteers worked tirelessly for this moment.

We can't thank you enough.

Now let's get some damn COVID relief to the people who need it!

"All we say to America is be true to what you said

"All we say to America is be true to what you said on paper."

MLK JR's resounding words hold true today.

Here's hoping @raphaelwarnock the Reverend who followed in King's footsteps at Ebenezer Baptist Church (@ebenezer_atl) to bring his much needed insight and integrity to Washington.

Still reeling at the complicity that allowed this

Still reeling at the complicity that allowed this to happen and the cowardice of lawmakers not to unanimously speak out about it afterwards.

@senatorhawley and @sentedcruz need to get out.

I grew up roller skating around nyc when I was a young girl. It was my first taste of freedom and true adventure. I taught myself on the streets of the city.

I skated everywhere and anywhere I could. I’d meet my mother for lunch 12 blocks away at the hospital in the summer to share a falafel and sprite.

I ran errands, discovered every corner of Carl Schurz park and scraped my knees on the cracked sidewalks.

I conquered the steep hill that was Lexington Avenue. And I went to roller disco regularly (when an adult would take me.)

I swayed and danced on four wheels to the Dazz Band, the Gap Band and Chaka Khan.

I hope we can bring back the joy of quad skates which to me feel safer than blades.

As an adult I even had steet flyers, Frankenstein-like sneakers that had embedded wheels you could clip down.

This was the late 90s and I felt like Usher.

Bring back the joy of skates!

"I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one."

This is not the time for calls of "healing" from the people who caused this.

This is the time for justice.

Well it only took an attempted coup to get him banned...

Maybe these platforms will finally take white supremacist/terrorist threats more seriously.

I am, however, looking forward to not hearing about his vacuous ramblings on the daily.

Update: Google pulled Parler (alt-right Twitter) from the Google Play Store and Apple is threatening to remove them as well (they should).

I took this picture of Littlehands and Divina last week.

Yesterday I toggled between helping Krishna with homeschooling, trying to coordinate covid test appointments and watching with all of you while terrorists stormed the Capitol.

When I was young they made us pledge allegiance to the flag every morning at school. Yesterday extremists attempted to replace the American flag with a Trump flag.

Some of law enforcement even took selfies with the terrorists, while people protesting police brutality against Black and brown people last summer were shot with rubber bullets, maced and arrested by the thousands.

We've learned that as Senators called for help from sheltering in place, Trump refused to authorize the National Guard for HOURS.

In his first statement after the siege he said to the terrorists "we love you…you are special."

At dinner, I tried to explain everything that happened to my daughter with as steady a voice as possible. I’ve never seen her eyes so wide. All I could muster at the end was "I'm so sorry for this whole year, kanna."

Every parent who put their child to sleep last night had to grapple with explaining that this country that we love and have worked hard to build back together is under siege.

Now it's our responsibility to tell the truth about what happened, to have these hard conversations about racial justice, and to hold Trump and his supporters in Congress accountable for inciting violence and terror against our republic.

We owe it to our children to hold terrorists accountable for their actions. We owe it to the world to remember who we are.
