Not the point but I still cannot believe the amount of tacky-ass, peel-n-stick golden baubles in the Oval Office these days 😵‍💫

This whole thread 😬

For a recovering perfectionist, parenting is basically the ultimate form of exposure therapy. Because you WILL fuck up parenting at some point. Might be big, might be small, but there’s no way to get it all right, all the time. And that is so hard to accept.

The last time Amy McGrath ran for Senate from Kentucky, her argument was that Sen. McConnell was blocking Trump’s agenda. 1) My, how the world has changed, and 2) she represents absolutely nothing. www.wkyufm.org/politics/201...

a significant reason this is happening is because out of a combination of partisanship and cowardice Congress has essentially abdicated its constitutional role in the republic

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

This is horrifying on a million levels. But also—if any of these dudes started ordering me around, I wouldn’t believe that they were real law enforcement officers. They just look like random white supremacist creeps off the street. No identifying badge or uniform. How are people supposed to know?

This TikTok is the vibe I’m feeling right now. Last winter was hard, this winter could be harder. I’m getting ready. You don’t have to adopt this line by line, but it’s good to think now about what will help you later. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMMc7PPk/

If it hadn't been caught on camera-and if so many of you here and on other platforms had not raised your voices in defense of common decency-guaranteed this man would still be on duty brutalizing people. How many more are abusing the authority that ICE badge gives them?

What the actual fuck 🙃🙃🙃

This is the cutest damn thing

Listened to this new album yesterday while I worked and it was hard not to dance at my desk.

If the President can raise his own revenues and direct his own spending without congressional approval we are squarely in the only situation the Constitution was actually drafted to avoid: English civil war territory

“Maker’s Mark” has more than 4 letters in it…

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

It’s the guns.

Their whole point is to smash up functioning government and use the spoils to terrorize everyone, while installing a state based on mafia-style patronage. Don't give them more tools. Don't fund the terror.

An INCREDIBLY important album and band for me. Pretty shocked to be reading about it on a random Monday, 30 years later, in British press.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

TBH there is no way to design any system to counteract an executive declaring "I have all power and can exercise it arbitrarily" when a majority of the legislative and judicial branches responds with "that's right." Such a society is too primitive for modern governance and the rule of law.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

No parent wants to return to the pioneer days when we wondered if a fever might carry off our child in the middle of the night.

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

Hey, as a reminder, I’m still looking for a job! I am a nice person who is good at her work and my most recent job titles have been creative director, associate creative director for copy, or copy lead/director.
