Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding. It’s not a question of will. I am a determined person. Sometimes your body just WONT DO IT.

SCOTUS is going to hear a case to determine if Trump can strip birthright citizenship. I urge you to read this interview of mine with @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com. www.editorialboard.com/there-is-ame...

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple: there is enough. there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe. once you accept that there's only one question: why don't we?

My cousin on my white side, who is a child protective service worker in Oregon, is a Candace Owen’s follower and Trump voter. She lives in the suburbs. Mom of two. Goes to church. And is racist.

The affordability stuff is now everywhere. Looks like people are gonna ride this horse into November. Nobody is talking about what they will actually do to make things affordable.

IT’S HAPPENING! The original theatrical version of Star Wars is coming to theaters in 2027: youtu.be/qfXvdFcvhNY?...

Helloooo friends! 4 more tags that need to be filled for the NAYA gift drive for Indigenous Homeless & Foster Teens that are left out of most traditional gift drives. These asks are so simple and it will really boost your spirits to help fill these asks! Claim what you want and I’ll DM you -

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter

Feel like machine dems will fuck this up by not running an every district/every state strategy. No R should be running unopposed next year.

Huh, weird. I just checked my Tribal ID and my US Passport and both are still valid.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

He posts for the white gaze and the white gaze only. I’ve actually been able to look more critically at my beliefs because when I start to agree with him, it’s a red flag.

"Universities do not see that the attacks on trans people are ultimately attacks on the universities themselves." *Coughs at U of Oklahoma * abovethelaw.com/2025/11/the-...

And should be understood as an attempt to use public pressure to get trans people out of public life. It’s not about rubrics, and the rubric isn’t the TA’s fucking fault. But the precise mechanisms of pressure used here should be deeply concerning to anyone in academia or who cares about it.

So yeah, this is fundamentally about trans people and that cannot be elided, but the ways in which junior faculty are targeted and disposed of, while academic jobs are increasingly precarized, and political grandstanders seek to influence academic governance are fucking terrifying for everyone.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

On @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social, we coined the term "Cancel Culture Grift Economy" to describe how this works.

PSA, don’t give soaps and creams or other scented things as gifts. I have super sensitive skin and end up having to donate or trash some of the most beautiful handmade soaps and things and it makes me so sad.

Sometimes I look at Roxy, Elsie, and Lavender and just cry. We don’t deserve the unconditional love of our pets.

I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.

Man this is the perfect gift for someone who has given up

I got this on a whim a few weeks ago and it’s soooo good.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If you want to read the full @propublica.org investigation into CIA-backed Afghan Zero Units, here's Lynzy Billing's award-winning piece from 2022:

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Pies are in the oven. I cheated and used refrigerator crust but I didn’t want to cool my house down to make homemade crusts. The filling is really what matters anyway and I used Woodford bourbon and real vanilla.

This is what I’m making. It’s the best a day or to after thanksgiving when you need a late night treat or breakfast. lovelylittlekitchen.com/raspberry-je...

Toast your pecans, cool, and then do a nice little chop of about 1/3 of them before you throw them into the pie crust.

Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link) www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

I got the last four boxes of raspberry jello at the grocery and I felt like I won the lottery.

Literally at my gate just now, a mom was keeping a toddler occupied and from running away while the dad was eyes down on the phone lmao

In my mom’s heart, she is a Midwest jello salad and hotdish mom, despite being born and raised and living her entire life on the west coast.

My children (dogs) are so lazy this morning. Absolutely do not want to get up and go outside.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

dear men: plz find a route to self-actualization that doesn’t run through someone else’s uterus

The cheapest I could find for an infant in DC IS $2400/mo. KinderCare was $3200/mo. These are just keep your kid alive and teach them the basics daycares; not some Montessori/Waldorf specialities.

He donated a lot of money to get the terribly pro-carceral DA in Washington County elected and re-elected. Talk to any public defender and you will hear horror stories about that office and how little they care about due process and constitutional rights.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Good point about why AI isn't being designed to replace domestic chores or tedious manual labor. The tech billionaires pushing this stuff into art and relationships have servants; they don't need robots.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

THIS. This is women’s reality in this world. It is time right now to face it and blow this system up and burn it down. This will take all of us who aren’t actively working to keep it this way. Examine your role in allowing it to happen, then work harder to support the innovative bravery of women.

It remains hilarious to me that Ryan Lizza is seemingly oblivious to the fact that he, too, was just a creepy older man taking advantage of Olivia Nuzzi

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

I’m a law prof & a YLS grad and anyone familiar w elite law schools knows it is beyond laughable to describe these places as radicalism hotbeds. Cruz knows this, as does JD Vance. But they assume that their marks are too unsophisticated to know it too. It’s condescending as hell.

It is tragic to see what figures like Mamdani are doing to a once great Democratic Party. by Andrew Cuomo, Larry Summers, Alan Dershowitz, Bob Menendez, and Rod Blagojevich
