You (a naïf, a rube): What should we do? Me (a perimenopausal crone, a relic from the before-times): My child, we must consult the sacred texts. The texts:

Are you there God it’s me Margaret by Judy Bloom

Ramona, forever by Beverly Cleary and Ramona Quimby age 8, by Beverly Cleary

Blubber by Judy Bloom and just as long as we are together by Judy Bloom

Todd Blanche is the worst Attorney General nominee in my lifetime. He’s under investigation by the Bar Association. This confirmation hearing isn’t bearing that out.

I keep seeing a lot of online ads for parents of young women going to college that really prey on their adults' fears for their safety. I understand it is a big transition and this is a very legitimate concern, but the ads are gross. (1 of 5.) 🧵

This post is mainly for white folks to consider. I want to share something that may help you understand the reaction from Black folks who immediately looked at the Nolan Wells story and thought, “Something is foul here.” This isn’t proof that foul play occurred. It’s context. 🧵

Well... would you look at that. After all those made-up lies about mail-in ballots, the Supreme Court just rejected this administration's latest attempt to silence voters. Y'all need to stop trying to suppress votes and start trying to earn them.

"Have you lost weight?" is always an awkward question, but the champion of awkwardness may be, "Well, you look good so you must have lost weight." In other news, the visit from the in-laws is going as expected.

I love where I live in the #Chicago suburbs but everytime I go in to the city it makes my heart sing. I also get a little nostalgic for 1990s/early 2000s Chicago, but mostly I'm just glad for a city day.

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

It’s been over three days now since our president threatened to nuke an entire nation after starting a war with that nation for no discernible reason. And Congress still has not moved to impeach him. And Corporate Media™️ has forgotten. We are a failed democracy. No other way to describe it.

All of us must be civil rights activists at this moment. Just like those who showed up, stood up, and spoke out today at the National Action Network’s 2026 Convention. If we don’t have a fair election in November, we won’t have any more elections.

It took four years of hate-filled propaganda for Slobodon Milosevic to convince people of committing atrocities. It took less time in Rwanda. Steady messaging that designates internal enemies should never be taken lightly.

It turned out to be a false alarm, but I got a text from my child to say her high school was on lock down. Politicians act like there's nothing to do because it's all hard. Just because it's hard, doesn't mean we can't do something. Children being slaughtered should create some sense of urgency.

Two things: 1.) It is unconscionable not to help stranded Americans get home. 2.) Nothing and no one is perfect, but in a time when so much of what I hear about government is concerning, crazy, or both, I really appreciate my governor and some other IL elected officials.
