When I hear anything about the State moulding people according to some ideal I think back to being a kid visiting relatives in East Germany, and all that idea did to people who wanted other things, like to be a pastor or to travel, and I shudder.

Which in fairness only tells us his direct female line is Native American, but it also makes clear not “all” his ancestors came to the US via Europe.

Didn’t Rubio find out he has a Native American mtDNA haplogroup on Finding Your Roots a few years ago or something?

I don't really know what to do with these pieces, because: 1. They refuse to used "illegal" & "unconstitutional" & "corruption" in the heds, deks, ledes, or body text 2. They disappear from the front page/headlines within 36 hours & never become THE NARRATIVE, contra EMAILS & BIDEN IS OLD, etc.

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

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

At least once a week Ossoff cold-calls people in Georgia: mayors, school principals, clergy, farmers and so forth. Political affiliation doesn't matter, and the people have no idea it's coming. To some degree the last set of calls dictates the next one. It is smart for several reasons. First -

I’ve gone back and forth on this. Ultimately I stay pseudonymous because I have patients with very diverse politics, who meet me at very sensitive times in their lives, and I don’t want them to feel even a sliver of fear that that matters to their care. YMMV.

I’ve been saying for probably a year Kansas Senate could be in play, because of the year, & because Marshall is such a bad candidate. And that was before I knew we’d have such a strong candidate, & before I knew Roger Marshall was even worse than I thought.

This is the Siena MI poll. I laughed & imagined a room of 100 Black people. They’re asked who strongly disapproves. 98 hands go up. Somewhat disapprove? 1 guy—definitely a guy—raises his hand. Most people look at the floor shaking their heads but about 20 are burning holes through him w their stares

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

it's easy you simply put it on a train to st Petersburg then on to a sanctioned bulk carrier which sails to a us port which has no potash facilities whatsoever, then somehow transfer to trains and then on to the final destination
