I was detained Tuesday while doing my job, reporting the news, right here in America. A few people have been asking me what I think about that, if I’m OK, was I “being a bad girl”, etc. A brief response re: trauma. (My view, not the paper’s.)

I have a Carl Reiner story that I hold very dear to me. I figured I'd share it today, on the day of his passing, because I hope it will bring some other people some joy the way it does me.

.Donald J. Trump wants schools open so the country can appear to be open and working by November. But it ISN’T working. Things are WORSE than they were when we thought they’d peaked in MAY. Are you willing to risk your child’s life for Trump? #NotMyChild

Sobbing with the rest of you reading Congressman Lewis’s gift to us this morning. And can’t help but remember ⁦Ida Bae Wells⁩’ words: “as much democracy as this nation has today, it has been borne on the backs of Black resistance.” nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opi…

I didn't expect to start crying this soon into the DNC convention. Proud to be a Democrat, and hopeful we can fix things before the country is lost for good. #RiseUp

Joe Biden brings the heat on Apartheid in this clip.

Three million views.

RBG on how she hoped she'd be remembered "Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability and to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has. To do something...outside myself"

This is a great thread that reminds me to remain hopeful.

This isn’t news, Kellyanne. Our differences are exactly why I joined Biden’s Climate Unity Task Force - so we could set aside our differences & figure out an aggressive climate plan to address the planetary crisis at our feet. Trump doesn’t even believe climate change is real.

It's quite chilling to know that the President supports extrajudicial killing, and it's not a bigger deal in media coverage. But then everything is batshit crazy.

Please encourage the young people in your life to become advocates and activists, now and for the rest of their lives. You too.

This is exactly what will happen. Quotes like “Sometimes an illness like this changes you, humbles you, refocuses you...” All that bullshit is coming. DON’T FALL FOR IT. And tell your none too bright “undecided” grandma she’s an idiot if she falls for it too. #BidenHarris2020

This is a worthy cause, particularly in times like these. We just ponied up. Check out the great auction items, or just give.

This is outrageous and very scary.

This entire thread.

The sunrise doesn’t require the night’s concession.

Fingers crossed T-Mobile gives me $5,000 to start 2021 off right! #5Gsfor5G #contest
