In hilarious news, my son, 5, who likes both cottage cheese and saying things in silly ways, just called it “twattage cheese” and I think my soul left my body. I could neither breathe not explain.

My politics once had nuance. Now they are this: Any system that protects pedophiles, genocidaires, colonists, and supremacists should be torn out, root and stem, and thrown on the pyre of history.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Thinking of/with antiwar activist A. J. Muste:

Once a reporter asked him, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" A.J. Muste replied softly: "Oh I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me.

New Haven driver played frogger with my firefighter husband last night. He’s totally fine, cleared at Yale after they seemed determined to find something. Hit him going 40. He flew like 10’ in the air, said he gave the windshield a high five. Apparently, he stood up and tried to go back to the call

ok I had to force down a tear with this one reskeeting with alt text
Image of a page in a book with text reading as follows


THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO:

Dr. John Sharpe of London, who in 1957. a decade before physicians in England could legally perform an abortion for any reason other than the health of the woman, took the considerable risk of referring for an abortion a twenty-two-year-old American on her way to India.

Knowing only that she had broken an engagement at home to seek an unknown fate, he said, "You must promise me two things. First, you will not tell anyone my name. Second, you will do what you want to do with your life."

Dear Dr. Sharpe, I believe you, who knew the law was unjust, would not mind if I say this so long after your death:

I've done the best I could with my life.

This book is for you.

AOC just mildly disavowed "woke 1" and it sparked a weeks-long, ongoing discourse cycle about radicalism on the left. The idea that prominent Dems "disavowing" far-left figures will stop the right from talking about them is laughable.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
