Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

The first course of any MBA needs to “Stop being a dumbass 101” The first day of class is an hour of the prof saying “Yes you are. Shut up. Yes. Even you.”

Yep, as John Oliver said, "Fuck you, make me" is how to respond to these authoritarian asshats.

We should try that more often!

Welp, no Rapture, but I do get Zoloft now. That's something at least.

My child fell asleep in my bed so I am trying to sleep in his room while Giant Curious George is watching, always watching...

Repeatedly, Tr*mp said pregnant people need to just suck it up and suffer during pregnancy rather than taking Tylenol. I cannot emphasize enough that he has no medical or scientific training and is in no position to tell any of us what medications to take or when.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

I have questions. lol www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I really need it to stop feeling like I hit my funny bone all over my body all day.

My neighbor's tree puts out these 12" seed pods, and for whatever reason, this year it's like allll seed pods.

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

So if you're a government leader who believes that antifascists are your enemy, that would make you a... what, now?

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.

Next thing you know Bill Hader will have to bring back Stefon and give the people news and commentary in weird facial expression code.

The fact that all of these media figures are having their platforms pulled makes me want to blog even more. Like, no, i may not be Walter Cronkite, but somebody has to speak truth to power.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Was the Kirk shooter a Victorian boy? Who tf texts like that? lol

I'm not sure why, but my child absolutely lost his shit for an hour over having to cut out some geese and glue them to a worksheet and identify and draw some letters. I'm sure my neighbors thought I was stabbing him to death with a ballpoint pen or something. He did a good job though. ⭐️

Seeing a white person say 'No one's words EVER got anyone killed' Yes, because MLK and Malcolm X were killed for their finger paintings. Words have power. 🙄

My kid finally went to sleep at bed time with no fuss and I am cursed with no sleep even though I am so tired my bones hurt.

Corporate media & politicians are taking a straight white male Christian raised in a conservative family who increasingly seems like a groyper—and trying to blame Muslims, trans people, & the left. 🤔 Writing about this on my human rights newsletter www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
