Lily Alexander, Chelsea Eiel, Jennifer Nix & Gina Siesing’s Transformative Justice “quilt” from Prof Lisa Young Larance’s domestic violence elective at Bryn Mawr College.

"If we shift our perspective from managing to prevention, we can look at how we might change the conditions that lead to domestic violence all year long." - @jacpatrissi.bsky.social in the @bostonherald.com: www.bostonherald.com/2025/10/02/p...

The US decided that money is speech—and now we hear what money has to say: Be sick and die, it’s good for Pharma. Be homeless, it’s good for property owners. Cost of eggs and milk? Agribusiness delights. Steal your data DOGE? Worth billions. Insurrection? Capital Spheres of Influence arise.

Anybody use @UPaKWeShip? More like UPakWeLoseTrack! They lost track of ALL our wordly goods! They had them “placed” on three ships with three imaginary delivery days before realizing OOPS it’s halfway across the globe in THE WRONG OCEAN! And no plan yet to get our life back in order!UPAKWELOSETRACK

For a woman to be able to stay with a man, she has to be capable of leaving. This is not only about economic independence, but about being able to have deep discernment. We must be able to admit a wholer truth to ourselves about the relationship.

Finding ways to create the conditions so that people can change

The entire globe would prosper if a handful of men now in power were healed enough to value true connection over dominance.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution: "Congress shall have Power To ... declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water." This section establishes the legislative branch's role over war-making decisions.

Racism is a poor person’s riches. Misogyny, a poor man’s crypto. The ultra wealthy don’t hoard for happiness; they do it for superiority. In the absence of wealth, other superiorities will do.

Adriana Smith. Her sacred inviolable body. The US keeps finding ways to justify making women of color chattel.

They just came out and said it: “We both know why you’ve been detained…it’s because of what you wrote about the protests at Columbia”

They are performing violence so we don’t talk about Musk admitting he installed Trump.

Gonna make "Kamala was right about everything" hats

GenX women in the US are the first to be born with the right to establish credit in our own name. We lived to become the first to have protections of marital rape laws and no fault divorce, to have legal protections in the workplace and school, and the right to bodily autonomy and healthcare.

A couple of days ago, my son visited the Antifa memorial for the fallen at Normandy. Two US soldiers were behind him, espousing their support for the Big Beautiful Bill which proposes to recraft our government towards autocracy.

For the bottom 60% of U.S. households, a "minimal quality of life" is out of reach, according to the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).  From 2001 to 2023, the cost of affording what amounts to a basic level of economic security doubled.

Our health insurance, co-pays, a couple prescriptions, eye insurance, dental insurance (cuz those are not included), mid-tier, has been about $350,000. 2 healthy kids and parents. Our unfettered capitalism breeds stressed, sick, undereducated families and bored billionaires.

. Going to Pot—16th century, Give It The Old College Try—1930’s, That’s Old Hat—late 1600’s; and the very current, You Bet Your Bippy—1960’s I’ll keep you updated with more episodes of MOM WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN ETA Bonhomie-1777, first known use.

“SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit,” Robert Reich

Millions in the streets. Media minimizing. White House gibberish.

When the simple facts of the matter become resistance.

Who else remembers Pete Hesgeth’s own mother warning everyone in America about him being a serial woman abuser, an immoral monster and an incompetent drunkard? I do. ✋

Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States (so far): Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Ireland Netherlands New Zealand United Kingdom

A Tea Party protest sign from 2011. The Tea Partiers believed that a man they thought was born in Africa was going to steal their Medicare. Now a man who was definitely born in Africa is definitely stealing their Medicare, and yet they’re strangely silent. Come on, Tea Party, dust off those signs!

George Carlin called it all.

And…why do they hate museums and libraries? is it the joy of stomping beauty and closing the tall doors of reading on the wretched masses so that they can impose their will on the joyless who have lost their wisdom stories? We are the stories. We are the artists. We just keep making and telling.

Did we Nazi this coming?

Thomas Paine: “[S]o far as we approve of monarchy,” he wrote, “in America the law is King. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other.”

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

It’s almost as if our representatives are acting like rich people with lifetime premium healthcare who don’t want to make a fuss.

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

The first image is of just some of the many fully armed officers hanging back hiding for 70 minutes while listening to the slaughter of 19 children in their Uvalde classrooom. US policing was formed for the protection of white supremacists’ property, a legacy featured in the second photo.

Friendly reminder we are not supposed to be jailed for speaking up for peace.

Honestly, is he syphilitic?

True facts.

This is Mahmoud Khalil. Mahmoud has a green card. He is a lawful, permanent resident of the United States. He has been detained by ICE agents without cause. His wife (8 months pregnant) and his attorney have not been told where he is being held.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

I got all my homework done early yesterday so that I could live fact-check Trump’s congressional speech. Here’s a summary of Trump’s top 25 lies from last night…

Let's all support @jamescrockerrr.com and thanks for the fact checks.

At the Capitol in NASHVILLE today…
