What the Heck

The national discussion is pulling back the curtain on moral values. As I have stated in the past, Americans have selective hearing. Americans hear what suits them best and that is what they believe, not what the facts are. Americans have become tribal, all thanks to demagogue leaders that have taken over American politics. Our...

They All Lied

All of trump’s cabinet nominees were dishonest at their confirmation hearings. Their pressure is Project 2025 in full tilt mode. Abolishing programs for special needs and disabled children. Give the control to the states? Do these people even think that states can afford to pick up the slack? Women shouldn’t serve in combat roles in... Continue Reading →

No Words Right Now

I have no words right now as I watch a video of a child, a little girl that is maybe 8 years old, crying for her parents that were taken away by ICE agents. Who will house her, feed her, take her to school? Instead of chasing people and treating them like subhumans, why can’t... Continue Reading →

Silence is Complicity #SpeakUp

This Tuesday night on #DeadlineWhitehouse, Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. was a guest. His answer about the topic of the rhetoric of violent threats struck me. I am still thinking about it. “Nicole, we’re not gonna ever change. Until we hold the people we love accountable….People who know better, eat dinner with folk, they love them... Continue Reading →

We are Being Abandoned by Our Leaders #Democracy

I woke up with a start this morning from a dream that had abandonment issues. The news of a dear friend with a cancer diagnosis had me in a funk yesterday, thinking about others who have left me in my past. Grief is an odd devil of sorts, popping up when you least expect it... Continue Reading →
