New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
publicnotice.co
Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Since Idaho's abortion ban took effect in 2022: 🩺 35% of practicing OB-GYN physicians have left the state. 🏥 Several hospitals have scaled back or completely shut down labor and delivery units. This alarming trend has left thousands of Idahoans without access to reproductive care.

It's a complicated place to be when you recognize the value a nonprofit brings to the community, while also having seen its leadership fumble repeatedly. You don't find yourself rooting for its success or its failure; just sitting in a complex, neutral space where both truths exist at the same time.

Leaving a toxic employer after so much dedication really does feel like a bad break-up. I know I'm better off, but damn, the hurt is still there. Never catch feelings for your employer, my friends. Never let your job become your identity. Oh, and don't work in nonprofit. 😬

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

What a difference a year makes. One year ago I saw Trump flags on almost every street in coastal Orange County CA...this year, few and far between. This tells me, if anything, people are embarrassed. And they should be.
