In spite of it all, my kids are enjoying their DC childhood. They took themselves to see peak bloom of the cherry blossoms today, and rested in the shade of the Jefferson. #dc #cherryblossoms #monuments #twins #teens

Grateful for two big court wins for trans folks today. Taking the wins where we can get them these days.

Raúl Grijalva loved southern Arizona in his bones the way I love southern Arizona in my bones. Thank you for a life devoted to my home, Tío Raúl. Seguro que hay montañas moradas en el cielo. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Rep. Raúl Grijalva dies at 77

The 12-term Arizona Democrat had been under treatment for cancer.

Supporting only local businesses today… coffee at Commons while analyzing population data. Nerds need good coffee! #SWOTAnalysis #economicblackout #boycott #resist

Very disturbed that @nbcnews.com and @abcnewsgo.bsky.social didn’t cover the protests today. Thousands of people at the US Capitol and rolling protests in all 50 states. It’s all over social media but nary a peep on mainstream national news. The free press needs to act like it while they still can.

Noon EST. Turned on the news. Not a single network is covering the nationwide protests. Are they happening? Who knows?! What a mess we are in.

Easy like Sunday morning… Ditching church and feeding my soul in other ways - like making a Greek omelet and a cafe at lait.

How long is it going to take Congress to realize that they’re fighting the wrong fight? The fight right now isn’t Republicans vs Democrats. It’s the Executive Branch vs the rest of us. #coup #doge

God bless the NTSB and the work they do. So hard, so important. Todd Inman has clearly not slept much in the last 48 hours. He deserves grace.

Watching the Trump press conference on my lunch break. It started appropriately: moment of silence and statement that when things like this happen our differences fade and we mourn together as one. And then the wheels fell off. It’s been increasingly unhinged and asinine for a half hour now. Sigh.

My heart goes out to all those connected to tonight’s #planecrash. Ending up in the Potomac is an ever-present fear every time I fly into DCA. So terribly sad to see it actually happen.

It is delightfully warm today. My twins are off school for end of quarter, and my son bounced out the door to have lunch w friends. Trans joy is a radical act.
