My stretch marks turned 20 yesterday. I use humor to cope with the reality that, in “the land of the free”, my intellectually disabled daughter has less rights on her 20th bday than I did on mine, & her 21 yr old sister wants to buy a gun to protect herself from the “your body, my choice” cult.

Republicans are trying to repeal the $35 cap on insulin.

Please spread the word.

Grotesquely wealthy people (for some unknown reason) would like to take away whatever benefits you have. And yet there is no possible way they can even spend the money they already have.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Remembering the families here in western NC who lost so much during Hurricane Helene, including those in Swannanoa’s Beacon Village, and hoping they’re able to find some joy this Christmas.

Happy Christmas Eve lovely freebirds 🎄
I hope none of you are feeling like this. If you are, have a hug 🫂 You may not be able to change it this year, but It's ok to say no or to do things differently next year. Your wellbeing is important too ♥️
Have a beautiful day and always #HaveCourageAndBeKind 🥰

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Party of Family Values, am I right?

Not a day passes that someone doesn’t tell me that they are exhausted or, more candidly, afraid. It is okay to be tired and understandable to be afraid. Courage doesn’t come from being well rested and feeling safe. It is found in overcoming those emotions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Trying to imagine pitching this movie 50 years ago:
“So this guy from apartheid goes to America and cons his way to collecting half a trillion dollars and buys a President with it. Then he starts to order Congress around from his computer which is actually a portable telephone.”

The important work the press does should absolutely be free from interference. The protections provided under this sensible, bipartisan bill are needed now more than ever.

From the Editorial Board: Public’s right to know ‘hangs in the balance’
U.S. Senate must pass the PRESS Act before the session comes to a close. This federal shield law for journalists is critical for government accountability.

Tradwives make it look glamorous to quit the workforce to stay home with the kids. But women who have tried the lifestyle themselves say there's a lot you're not seeing on TikTok.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame.

You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way.

If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.
