A Story a Day Keeps the (Menopause) Stigma Away
Less than one month until I take the TEDxMinneapolis stage! In just a few weeks, I’ll be taking the stage at TEDxMinneapolis to share an important talk. It’s about #menopause as a rite of passage.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.
Earth is likely to cross a key climate threshold in two years

You might be on Medicaid without realizing it — because it’s called something else in your state.
Ever heard of Apple Health? Soonercare? Medi-Cal? That’s Medicaid.
If they slash it, you could lose coverage and not know why.

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

"It's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with the federal government," sneered the woman to the people who elected her to be their voice in the federal government.
Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.
She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.
“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”
Watch to the end…

Look, it’s really not that hard to understand.
If Republicans *wanted* to shut the government down, they would’ve shut it down. They didn’t want to, because they knew they’d (rightfully) be blamed.
There’s no 5-dimensional chess happening here, the Treasonous Ten caved because they’re cowards.

The only good thing is that Schumer and co have made it undeniably obvious that Democratic leadership are corporate owned cowards and we must fight this fight ourselves.
The party will not save us. Organize your workplace, organize your community. Build an actual opposition in this class war.

What are the democrats doing putting Ken Martin in the position of DNC chair? Just saw him in @msnbc.com and I couldn’t be less impressed—and certain that we’re in big, big trouble. THIS is the guy we’ve chosen to lead this fight? Sorry, but all I thought of was this guy.

In this clip the governor of Maine said she’d follow state and federal law, Trump says he *is* federal law, and if people don’t do as he says he will stop all federal funding to that state. Just get that in your head. Process that for a second.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.
This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.
