Closely monitoring events internationally and at Congressional hearings in DC.

@jenpercy.bsky.social Just finished “Girls Play Dead.” An absolutely unique and compelling book. Unlike any other that I’ve read on the subject of trauma (and I have read quite a bit of material). I will strongly recommend this as a mandatory staff read at the d.v. agency where I used to work.

Sorry, what was that acronym again? Sometimes I’m really proud of my state. #gardenstate

Jesus, can ANYONE keep it in their pants anymore?!

www.threads.com/@billcampa/p... Hello to my adolescence, which I am now happily revisiting. Amazing photo!

Great stuff from @dcopaken.bsky.social. Nina Schwalbe, public health scientist and vaccine superstar, is running for Congress open.substack.com/pub/deborahc...

@betsycornwell.bsky.social I just this moment finished reading “Ring of Salt”. What a wonderful, heartbreaking book. As a retired domestic violence advocate, it touched me deeply. I’m very much looking forward to next month’s webinar through Finding Our Voices, when we can hear from you directly.

She was approved for parole, but is still in prison, along with hundreds of others. How California is failing its most rehabilitated inmates…my latest for @nytopinion . . . www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/o...

Wyoming’s top court struck down the state’s near-total abortion ban and a first-of-its-kind prohibition on abortion pills, saying that the laws violated the state constitution.

A few photos from our recent trip to Vienna. St. Stephen’s church; Christmas markets; City Hall; Parliament; Schoenbrunn Palace. The snowy photos are from a day trip to Hallstatt (a picturesque little village about 1.5 hours west of Vienna) on the way to Salzburg. Quite a trip!

Anyone else watch the President struggle to pronounce “acetaminophen” while reading from scripted comments today?

Between yesterday’s Senate vote, and today’s Combs verdict, this week has been for shit. And it’s only Wednesday.

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

In good news today…

Can anyone suggest a purpose for these cuts other than straight-up petty cruelty? Is “Great Performances” more subversive than I realized?

MSNBC reporting that a Wisconsin judge has been arrested for “obstructing an immigration arrest” by the FBI last week. First time ever. WTAF?!

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

My latest for @nytopinion “We live in a new world, where words like “women,” “gender” and “trauma” are banned or limited in research studies… The fringe went mainstream, and then became the U.S. government.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/o...

Birthday ✔️ Retirement ✔️ Family✔️ ❤️

So on brand for these people. Never trust anyone who doesn’t love dogs.

Thank you, Women Aware. It’s been a great third act, capping a forty year legal career. These last three years, working as an advocate for victims, have been incredibly meaningful. Retirement begins Monday, but I’m not going too far. The work is too important.

Philadelphia Eagles decline to visit White House after Super Bowl win. Nice job, guys.

This guy's Nazi factor is dialed up to 11

Last night we introduced amendment after amendment to lower costs for Americans and protect Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. Senate Republicans voted down EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Word of the day: MEGALOMANIAC. Application: one who believes he/she has special (divine?) powers and is “the only one who can fix the problem(s).”

Good morning. Welcome to today’s edition of “Toxic Patriarchy.”

Mad respect for Danielle Sassoon and her colleagues from the prosecutor’s office in the SDNY. Thank you for respecting your oath. Come on, Gov. Hochul, use the full extent of your authority and close the door on this entire debacle.

It still blows my mind to this day that Britain could be so unfathomably stupid, the brain drain this has had on Britain due to visa issues is seismic too. A genuine embarrassment & believe me, As a regular traveler to Spain Britain is nothing short of a laughing stock the world over because of it.

We are thrilled to recognize these women as Voices of Courage and change. Come join us!

All data from the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health has been scrubbed from the internet.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

So, what are the odds that domestic violence programs that rely on federal funding will be able to keep their doors open? Asking for… every one of the thousands of victims that we help every year.

Plan for today: 10:00 am Meet girlfriends at park for 3 mile walk 12:00 pm. Grocery store for snacks and beverages 3:00 pm Cheer Eagles on to victory 🦅 Balance of day: avoid focusing on DC shit show, including rage and existential dread. Monday, 7:00 am: resume rage and existential dread.

We’re doing our best to get this info out to the people who need to read it. Please share.

It was just announced that Cecile Richards passed away today. The irony is not lost. May she rest in peace.

Working hard to organize my thoughts around the themes of “one day at a time”, “this too shall pass” and “we’ve been through worse.” Good luck.
