This stories make me so deeply depressed. The pain and grief this country is causing is so immense and to what end? For what reason are we torturing people?

This is an every day occurrence for NJ Transit, a system that carries tens of thousands of people per day. That we don’t have the infrastructure to have reliable train service is something every NJ politician should be embarrassed about.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died. Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit. We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

Still thinking about the 180 young girls we killed for no reason.

Impeach him now. Impeach him every day. Impeach every single one of his evil cabinet members.

One of my grandpas was a lawyer but he died at 51 and his wife still had 3 dependents at home. The other was a dress salesman married to a coat and suit buyer.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Unlimited budget for war. But no money for universal healthcare, universal childcare, fully funding IDEA, investing in museums. Our government is broken and sick.

Regarding the AI discourse, recently went to the memorial service for a 106 year old and I complimented the granddaughter on how moving her speech was and she said: “thanks AI helped me make it better” and I was appalled.

What a bleak world we are forcing kids to live in.

Find yourself a partner who will email with you about interpreting parts of the US code and will scour congressional appropriation tables for information regarding your passion project.

Is there any greater joy than watching your child fall in love with reading? Maybe this is only true if you yourself are a book nerd? My 7 year old is a voracious reader and it brings me such joy.

This line from @caseyjohnston.bsky.social newsletter feels depressingly true: "now that Gen Z is mostly adults, it seems like laptops in the classroom were a massive mistake, and all we did was feed $30 billion to tech companies (plus a generation of captive users) who eminently do not need it."

I still can't believe half of this country voted for this nightmare of a President.

This is so deeply depressing on so many levels. This titan of public health regrets having lived this long...

And the problem with this country is that it’s led by people who don’t think of other people’s children as their own.

I know the rule. Must immediately repost. Mazel Tov Tom Holland and Zendaya!

The 7 year old: “Why would anyone vote for this bad President who made us go to war?” #fromthemouthofbabes

Children in America's concentration camps have to buy their own colored pencils

I will never forget when a doctor thought my hospitalized mother had TB (she did not). She got moved from her floor of brain rehab and I had to wear a special suit to visit her.

The Lizard Guy is coming to our daughter’s preschool today. One of the teachers is wearing a shirt with chameleons all over it. I really appreciate early childhood educators and their commitment to themes.

the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status... all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy

The four year old who loves jicama, edamame, soup, chicken salad, pickles and lemon has now devoured my scrambled eggs with sriracha and is demanding more.

my politics right here. mango-socialism with rice characteristics

So much bad an dystopian news today.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

This is illegal

The 7 year old just asked totally randomly: “what would happen if the President went to jail?” (She knows he’s a bad person).

Our four year old is constantly antagonizing our 7 year old. It’s exhausting.

WTF. The way this woman has been treated is so deeply sickening. She has a TBI and autism.

This story is truly horrifying. One huge man rights violation.

SAME.

That’s about it. Also he’s evil and racist.

The real “state of the union” isn’t the stock or crypto markets — it’s the state of care. If families can’t afford child care or take paid leave, our economy isn’t working. Read more 👇 #SOTU https://familyvaluesatwork.org/the-state-of-the-union-is-the-state-of-care/

This is such an important point!

Well this is horrifying.

7 year old to 4 year old: “This isn’t your business.” 4 year old: “I don’t even have a business.”

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

As someone who has suffered preclampsia twice (and now has scaring on my kidneys) I’m so angry about this.

My brother’s name is Sam so I am partial to the name but seriously who is the more evil Sam: Sam Bankman Fried or Sam Altman?

Found a lost child at the grocery store and reunited him with his mom. I think I just grew from a small Mario to a big one.

Toymaker vs. Trump. The person who cares about kids and families should always win!

Glad we’ve all decided that Pritzker > Newsom.

Just sitting here dreaming about turning all these detention centers and jails into parks, museums, and affordable housing.

All these podcasts produced by humans with ads about AI that make me so angry. I don’t need a thinking partner, no thanks Claude.

This story is maddening. I want to yell at these parents who still believe the MMR vaccine is more dangerous than measles even as their child has measles encephalitis. But yelling at them is futile. Misinformation is dangerous. I hate this reality. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

My four year old to me (as I’m solo parenting for two days): “Mama you do a lot of work. You must be tired.”

Alysa Liu the phenom that you are!! This has got to rate as one of the best comebacks in history. Her own coaches tried to talk her out of returning to competition. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a skater who looks so much like she’s doing what she loves the most on her own terms.

My 7 year old has a library card and no ID. Clearly Leavitt has never been to a library.

Modernity is so terrible. So much bad group think leading to horrible decision making. Enough of this bullshit.
