Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant. Well, that's changed. When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government. We must fight

What I don't understand is why Elon Musk and his team didn't come out immediately with a statement on how his actions, while unintentional, were harmful and he is sorry for them. Where is the ownership and humanity?

A lot of Jamie Wellerstein apologists on the feed today and I don’t like.

This administration is making America cruel. Christian agencies that resettle refugees (like World Relief and Global Refuge) desperately need support now that Trump has pulled the rug out from under refugees already here. cnn.com/2025/01/24/pol…

2025 is tough but I keep reminding myself that The I Love You Song is about to be back in my life and it gets a little easier. #mamamamamama

Credit card fees make me feel insane. Like why am I paying you money to pay you money??

How do you ignore all the witches, all the curses, all the wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the goodbyes, the reverses, all the wondering what even worse is still in store?

I'm so confident that buying a house would make me feel better.

February has sucked so hard I now have hyperhidrosis in my hands and I didn't fully empathize with my sweaty palmed pals but this is awful.

American Christians win a political victory. As a result, children lose access to food. AIDS patients lose access to medicine. Migrants are mistreated. Allies are abandoned. Dictators overjoyed. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

People will really be like "the bible is black and white" as if Jesus didn't speak exclusively in parables... gets me every time.

Crazy how scrolling half the day didn’t make me feel better! WEIRD!

Whoever decided we needed to put songs on instagram posts needs to be fired. What kind of MySpace garbage is that?

Like him or hate him, you're obsessed with Jamie Lloyd. We all are.

Pumping the full orchestra outside?! The outside applause from folks watching for free?! This is so sick and don't pretend it's not!

I could go the rest of my life without somebody telling me to "let that sink in" ever again.
