The writing and plot just went south in #handmaidstale
We’ve been overexposed to the same close-ups, plot twists too many times. It has completely lost touch with plausibility, making it hard to feel that anything is at stake anymore. Where I used to be at the edge of my seat, now I just feel numb.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath.
And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth.
This is why journalism matters.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
