Still crazy in love with my HS sweetheart. Mom to four rock star humans and two weird cats. Attorney. News junkie.

Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

He’s talking about a HS trans kid. Imagine that was your child the president was talking about to his millions of followers. Telling your child’s teammates, classmates, and the whole world that your child is some unworthy enemy. How is this okay with anyone?

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I know you all will find this shocking, but Fox News immediately downplayed the damning texts from The Atlantic that show Pete Hegseth sharing highly sensitive war plans in a group chat where a reporter was inadvertently added.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

Magnificent by @brianklaas.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com today. The failure of today’s ultra-wealthy to repay societies that made their riches possible is a dereliction of their own humanity. Arguments like Andreessen’s, that their work *is* their philanthropy are, like those people, self-serving.
