I was just talking to my mom about this the other day. Compared to my struggling single mom days, I'm doing ok financially (although I appreciate that could change suddenly and for any reason). But, one would also think that everything else would be easier overall, and it's just not.
Everything seems so much harder lately. Just hard, hard, hard. (IT'S FINE IT'S FINE)

What's so stunning to me about Shri is that he's functionally been my best rep this term. I never have to reach out to him because he is in near constant proactive communication with his constituents in as many accessible ways possible. Yet I can't amp him up because of all the criming

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Here’s my response:

Thinking about how I emailed my senator months ago over her seeming lack of urgency about all of everything, with the framing of even her own safety. That email went unanswered. Hmmm.

I wanna invent time travel and then require every high school student to take a class called "All The Shit We Fixed Before You Got Here" where they tour smog-filled US cities, polio wards, pre-vaccine hospitals, buildings with no safety regulations, kids working in mines, etc.

Summers called this female Chinese economist “peril.”

“Yellow peril” was partially built on the claim that Chinese women were sexually immoral threats.

That logic fueled the Page Act of 1875, which barred Chinese women by presuming they were prostitutes, even before the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.
Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09)

The grad is from China

Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril"

Racism and sexual exploitation in one efficient package

Sade releases her “Promise” LP 40 years ago today.

Of “Sweetest Taboo,” she said:

“.. It’s about a love that feels almost TOO good, the sort of feeling you don’t talk about because it makes you vulnerable. I like writing about that kind of emotion — the danger .. of loving someone that deeply.”

We don't have enough people doing what they can but I am so grateful to those who are. Thank you.

Actually taking the time to make the call, send the letter, show up to the meeting, write the check, go to the protests, do actual mutual aid. Thank you.

I thought DuckDuckGo was supposed to protect you from trackers, but I visited a website to confirm an item I'm buying elsewhere...and got an email from them a few mins later. I didn't sign up for a newsletter or offer; I just copied the website and pasted to ask my kid if it's the thing I should get
