Comms for NWLC. Baking for everyone around me. Also occupied by WoSo, crosswords, Philly sports, books, tea, the weather, pickleball, and trying not to screw up my kids. She/her.
Update. I asked nicely for her to raise the salary cap. I said please and everything. And smiled. So.
I hope Berman is sitting in front of me again today at the game. We could get a little “raise the cap” and “pay the players” chant going.
ofc i’m team no cap but the thing that infuriates me is that even a bump to $5m, 7 or 10 would be enough. like ok if you’re worried about parity because you know you still have broke bois, they can handle $10m. keeping it below $4m, in this era, is telling many of your best players to leave.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Last night, we went to the USDA building to send a big message to Trump: Half isn't good enough—FULLY fund SNAP. Trump has the power to stop this but chooses politics over people. One in eight families rely on SNAP, and half funding means hunger. Don't starve families so you can play politics.

Hey USDA and Pres. Trump: women and families are tired of your political games. Half the funding for SNAP means many families will still be going hungry. It means moms will still skip meals so their children have something to eat.
Enough.

A story indistinguishable from those depicted/dramatized in all the WWII / Holocaust movies and plays and novels we grew up with
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Everyone here has an interest in pretending it’s not happening, because otherwise they’ll have to disrupt their lives. Of course, they have an even stronger interest in seeing the situation accurately, but they’re taking the path of least resistance until they can’t.
No one outside the U.S. is confused and no one here would be confused if they saw this happening in another country.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.
The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Everyone deserves access to emergency medical care—period. That includes abortion care. We’re taking legal action to protect emergency abortion access under EMTALA, a federal law that guarantees patients get the care they need when their lives are on the line.
