“The most fulfilled a woman will ever be is raising babies in a house full of love”

With the backstop of full rights to improve the lives of herself and her babies.

I was a SAHM, but aware of the precarious position that choice put me in. An off-ramp to employment opportunities always in mind.
1970—no fault divorce finally legalized, female suicide rates drop 20%

1974—Equal Credit Opp Act passes, women finally have basic access to finances

1993—Marital rape finally criminalized

Call me old school but countering record high suicide, financial imprisonment, & suffocating DV IS Liberation

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

In case you’re wondering, yes, a Democratic President could get away with not releasing files by a deadline required by law. Yep. With very little press reaction.

Tom Cotton has a Grinch heart, shriveled and rotten. What a sick shit take
I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."
Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.

Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

@pattymurraybg.bsky.social Don’t let this happen! Somalis are the best people and valuable to our country.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

“ 40 per cent of Americans aged 18 to 29 agree that “violence against the rich can be justified” — compared to 29 per cent for those aged 30 to 44, and less than 15 per cent among people 45 and up. ”

Violence against the rich justified? No.
Violence against the rich inevitable? History says Yes.
A generation shaped by the internet has increasingly come to believe that murder suspects like Tyler Robinson and Luigi Mangione are heroes. Here’s why
Why more young Americans are cheering for violence

I think there are more than 30 secure drop boxes in little old Thurston County.
By current ballot return statistics, my ballot will count for the choices of 6 registered voters.
Officials urge WA voters to use drop boxes for Nov. 4 election

“Voters in some Washington counties noticed during the August primary that ballots weren’t always marked the same day carriers picked them up, MyNorthwest reported, citing a King County Elections spokesperson.” #WAelex

See our grades & analysis of 60+ front pages for #NoKings coverage.
Influential news outlets like NYT/ WSJ continue trivialize coverage of the pro-democracy movement & demonstrations like #NoKings. Editors of local outlets did better.
