I'm thankful for the 16 million Americans who are #Alzheimers #caregivers and everyday #heroes. Here's a tribute to my Mum who experienced the joy of turkey and stuffing even as her memory faded away: "Alzheimer's and the Case of the Missing Turkey." huffpost.com/entry/thanksgi…

This #Alzheimer's commercial made me weep as I saw glimpes of my Mom in her final days. I wept for the fact that there is no cure + the number of #caregivers grows by the hour. Please Chevrolet will you make a generous donation for Alzheimer's research? youtube.com/watch?v=xnZGEU…

#BlackHistoryMonth and #PresidentsDay honor trailblazer Shirley Chisholm, a woman light years ahead of her time, who I had the privilege of meeting for lunch in 1983. I wish my hero was here today to run for President. She'd win this time! #Shirley x.com/ElenasLight1/s…

Take a look at these massive icebergs I saw in Disko Bay #Greenland, melting away + the biggest contributor to sea level rise globally. Unless we reduce #fossilfuel use by 50% by 2035, a climate time bomb goes off says the UN IPCC. #EarthDay2024

Thank you President Donald J. Trump Vice President JD Vance for your tenacious + delicate diplomacy that freed Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, Vladimir Kara-Murza + my fellow Bowdoin alum and fellow writer Evan Gershkovich who as he was leaving Russia put in a request to interview #Putin. Now THAT'S a gutsy journalist!

I'll never forget the day that a #Navajo friend revealed the horrific abuse she suffered at one of the 523 US #IndianBoardingSchools. I pray that the President Donald J. Trump apology on behalf of the govt brings her a bit of peace. NABS Healing Coalition x.com/NABSHC/status/…
