They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

I want to go see The Housemaid BUT I’m living in a new town and don’t have anyone to go see it with me. I go to movies alone all the time, so that isn’t generally an issue. Here’s the trouble: I have a highly evolved startle reflex. I will scream, probably many times. Am I ready for that?

I want to apologize to the poor, unsuspecting man who twice surprised me by walking up and talking to me while I was trying to figure out how to put air in my tires. I’m jumpy always, and when slightly stressed, yes I will jump and scream loudly. I hope he’s OK.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID? And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina. Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

I have assumed this for some time, but we are seeing it play out in real time.
The image shows two X posts. The first, by Patrick Wyman, expresses outrage over a decision, calling a historical event at Wounded Knee a massacre of mostly women and children, labeling it one of the most shameful events in American history and questioning the morality of defending it. The second, by a user named Secretary of War Pete, states that under his direction, soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals, declaring the decision final and their historical place settled, accompanied by an image of a man in a suit speaking at a podium with an American flag backdrop.

1. I've long contended that austerity doesn't save money. It merely transfers costs from one group (the very rich, who would otherwise pay more tax) to others. Last night was a powerful reminder of that. Before I go further, I should say I’m fine. Just a black eye, cuts & bruises, no serious harm. 🧵

"Tylenol causes autism" is bananas but easy to comprehend from a feminist perspective. They want women* to suffer without pain relief. They want to control pregnant women. But just saw @robinmarty.com point out that it's also to counter the "medication abortion is safer that Tylenol" And oooof.

A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Tylenol is one of the only medications that pregnant people can take safely. When I had debilitating back pain during pregnancy, my only choices were Tylenol or morphine. Making pregnant people feel guilty for using Tylenol is diabolical. Pregnancy is so hard and so scary anyway.
