Just went honking car-joyful-cruising with the hubz, the 99 y.o. mother-in-law and the pooch. All of us celebrated the people. We drove behind a skinny kid who held up a sign, “make America kind again." It was a crowd favorite.

Best politics ever!
We have to govern from a place of love. Because I love you, I care that you have food to eat, a roof over your head, a safe place to live, the healthcare you need, and the education you deserve.
My love means I want to see every single person live a decent life.

Honestly: for me, this feels like the hardest semester of the pandemic. I want to give all of myself to my family & students—and I will—but it feels like there’s less of me to go around. The insistence on “business as usual” both feels impossible & makes it especially exhausting.

Here's an example where voting made a difference.
The N.C. Supreme Court issued a 6-1 decision, written by Justice Anita Earls, in favor of a defendant who argued prosecutors had removed potential black jurors. It's the first time a N.C. appellate court has ruled for a black defendant on a Batson claim.
