Now this is an ad. Wow.

Growing up poor, all I had was the American dream. It kept me going: as a kid sleeping on the floor, a student scrubbing toilets, a Marine losing brothers in Iraq. Today, too many Arizonans see their dream slipping away. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to win it back for you!

The rain has been keeping our crews busy around the clock. It also activates some of our green infrastructure. Here stormwater runoff feeds the extensive rain gardens at the newly-built Southeast Community Center where we led the design, construction and greenspace creation.

If this doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. Christofascist indoctrination ceremony:

I'm posting this with her mother's permission because I need everyone to see what Ron DeSantis’ Florida really looks like. 13 year olds being arrested for protesting for their own freedom.

Fireworks are very American because they fuck up soldiers with PTSD while claiming to honor them


With EVERYTHING that's been going on. For people to want to continue to gather and celebrate our independence from tyranny and persecution- it's just so so disheartening. I mean how bad does it have to get for the masses to - you know-mass on up?


The thing is that peoples experience Is. Their. Own. Just let them be already. I totally understand the value and need for identity politics. But it also breaks my heart. Can we not just fucking give everyone else a break for a minute and just focus on ourselves? Seriously.


Something I’ve learned w/ my age and experience: It’s not always necessary, or sometimes even wise, “to work things out” w/ others in my life. More and more I’m finding that it makes more sense to just meet them where they are and set my boundaries/ expectations accordingly.

“Elon Musk” sounds like a body spray for rich fuckboys.


Because white supremacy is a thing, The privilege of being white gives a person the illusion that the police are there to protect you- until your child is born with autism #TheHubrisOfPrivilege


Just like food or air, Interdependence is required for survival. The Privilege of wealth fools people into believing they can survive on their own. In the end they will see how untrue this is. But by then it will be too late for all of us. #HubrisOfPrejudice


I think my kids are lucky I have been so into bell hooks. As I have been seeing her words I've been like, yeah-that. I hope I did that.


I hope I didn’t stop my kids from jumping in puddles.


No choice you make; can’t be changed.


The privileges we enjoy are the rights that another does not have access to.
