Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

“I think what they’re really concerned about is that left politics *will* resonate — and you’ll have progressives and democratic socialists in office demanding that the Democratic Party leadership actually do something.”

The Democrats’ “Woke” Panic and the Left’s Response

The victory of left-wing candidates in Democratic primary elections shows that voters want a different path. But party leaders don’t.

Today I learned that there's a musician named Zach Bryan and he's not the same person as actor Zachary Ty Bryan, even though they sorta kinda look alike.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with

Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase

Don't be left behind

Violet is so rarely snuggly with me. She will come to me and perch on my lap when she wants to be petted, but she’s not one for curling up and staying with me for long periods of time. But when she does… 🥹

A gray tabby cat lays on my stomach sleeping. She has one paw outstretched to “hug” me around my torso.
