I read @bethmacy.bsky.social memoir Paper Girl this week and haven’t shut up about it since I started. It’s excellent. Go read it.
She’s also running for Congress in VA’s 6th, where I lived briefly. Go check that out too.

Read "Paper Girl" by @bethmacy.bsky.social I thought the cover photo is everything. Who has a similar picture - confident, in front of a humble backdrop - believing one could go far with help from our community? If born in the 60's, lots of us. If born in the 2010's, different pictures. Must read.

Imagine being so morally untethered that you tell an audience of legislators -- 11 of whom just flipped R seats in last fall's elections -- that the state should still follow the lead of a racist, fascist, pedophile, rapist and 34-time convicted felon. Sad!

This legendary hero would not have seen justice under Pam Bondi. In fact, she would have been charged with assault and obstruction and her family would've been harassed by Trump's fascist thugs. Fight me.

You did not see this kind of statement from the Turkish central bank before Erdogan staffed it with sycophants because he had carefully laid the groundwork to do so without resistance over the course of 15 or so years. And then once he did do it, inflation went from 10% to 86% in two years.
