I really hate that I have to live with this fear when I hear a lot of sirens that there might have been a shooting at my son's school.
Google maps says there's a car accident on the highway near my house. But all the sirens, man it just strikes fear in me every time.

When I wrote about John Comaroff in SAPIENS "The Case Against Harvard," I made the same argument so many women are making now.
Yes. We're mad that these abuses continue. But we're even madder that everyone has always known about it.
You just look away. Every. Time. You just look away.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

I've never felt more like a typical mom than I do right now, as I retrace my steps around Costco looking for my daughter's sock.

My husband and I are discussing what we'd do if I primaries Tim Kaine in 2030. We've come up with this slogan. My husband is working on a yard sign now. Thoughts?
Wait for it...
Tennant for Senate.
Fuck Those Guys.

Yes! Thank you for standing up to protect the ACA!
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

Kaine put out a statement indicating he'll vote for it. Doesn't mean Warner won't too, but I've only seen Kaine. Such disappointments.

What if we got a pedestal sink for the bathroom downstairs, just for now. Find one free or cheap on Craigslist. Just to have a fully functioning half bath. Would that interfere with later plans to put in a bigger vanity?
Hmm, seems worth trying
It can't be that much longer, but is it 30 mins, is it an hour, no idea

It's important to track how many citizens are kidnapped by ICE. But I'll keep hammering the point that it simply does not matter if someone is native-born or undocumented — NO ONE deserves to be brutalized by glorified rent-a-cops in a fascist state. There are no "innocent" victims. Just victims.

I'm very surprised at how much more difficult it is to get my kid to pick up his toys without the cleanup song. Youtube went down at the wrong moment!

Vermont’s Bread and Puppet Theater is on tour with a mission to make ‘the revolution irresistible.’ A group of 15 artists is traveling to 33 U.S. cities to stage this year’s show, ‘Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution in Progress.’ This is one of their acts.

My hot take is that Trump wants the government to shut down. I want to be clear I am not an expert on this subject and I am really happy for someone to tell me how wrong I am (really, please do!). We all know Trump has been trying, with some success, to gut the federal government.

@abigailspanberger.com you should really commit to doing this for Virginia if elected! Please take a stand against this insanity.
Important: Gavin Newsom just announced that California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington State released unified west coast vaccine recommendations expressly designed to counterprogram Trump/RFK's destruction of our public health system.
This will gain momentum in blue states (see thread below).

Indeed. Actual malice isn't actually malice under New York Times v. Sullivan. Only lawyers would know that, so you have to wonder whether Donald Trump has actually hired any.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP
