The UCLA women’s basketball team has the chance to win their first National Championship today. These women have getting better every year and I’m so proud of their progress regardless of the outcome. That said, Let’s win this thing! #WFinalFour #LetsGoBruins #UCLAWBB #LFG

I went for a quick walk this evening and was rewarded with a beautiful sunset lighting up the moon and clouds in Virginia.

It’s been a tough week and it’s only #humpday. Luckily, we have a few places locally to relax and enjoy some quality hops & malts.

It’s time to plan the changes we need to make to our democracy, if it survives until the next national election.

1) TERM LIMITS for every branch and every position.

No professional legislators as they cease to represent their constituents. Judges should get longer terms, but no life appointments.

A hot and humid Monday means it’s time for liquid refreshment with my two favorite guys, @cmjhawk86.bsky.social and Finn, the cute rescue mutt.

They’ll be doing some polling regarding the best response. They should have an answer by Friday. 🙄

I had some conversations with other participants and was glad to know that we are in this fight together.

Finn and I wish Bunsen all the best on his birthday.

Has there ever been a bigger gap between Democrats and Republicans? The division it shows is sad and scary too. If we can’t agree on anything, how do we turn this around? I can only hope that when Rs start to experience the results of the early actions, like tariffs, we will start to close the gap.

It’s not an off year in New Jersey or Virginia and we need to bring this same energy this November!

Yesterday was my birthday. Normally, the last thing I would want to do is attend a protest. This moment is so important that I had to be at the Washington Monument with my husband @cmjhawk86 advocating for justice. #HandsOff #Indivisible #TheCrueltyIsThePoint

So, my first BlueSky post is to let people know that I am taking a break from all Meta platforms. You can find me here (yay!) and via iMessage and my actual smartphone. Wow!
