Ladies, the patriarchy does not want you to get good with money because women who are good with money are *not* easily controlled.
Getting good with money is a form of resistance.
From one defiant woman to another, add “increase financial literacy” to your 2025 goal list.

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.
UPDATE — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now commented on the Trump admin’s detaining & attempted green card revocation of a Columbia Gaza encampment student negotiator:
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

I remain very shocked that audio files released last year of Jeffrey Epstein literally saying that "I was Donald Trump's closest friend" made zero waves and appears to have been completely forgotten.
/yes, I know that the tapes were from a reporter with a dodgy past, but it was Epstein himself!

My friend said she did a “deep dive” on her ex’s new girl’s Instagram, but she didn’t see the picture with her crusty feet from April 12, 2022, much less her high school graduation pics, so clearly we have different definitions of “deep dive.” 🧐

The good news: I successfully dyed my own hair (demi, not box) for the first time (because WHO is paying salon prices to simply cover up grays, in this economy?)
The bad news: I also successfully dyed my bathroom floor. 🙂

It is the darkest of all possible humor that Disney is publicly rolling back their DEI initiatives and removing content warnings from older, racially-insensitive work on the same week that they are releasing a new MCU movie with a Black man as Captain America.

Marco Rubio is visiting Panama this weekend to try to annex the Panama Canal.
Panama is currently bracing for an American invasion and is warning there could be mass casualties.
The U.S. is acting like Russia when it invaded Ukraine—and is making the world less safe in the process.

For the first time ever, someone at the bar sent over a drink for me.
Except it wasn’t a drink, it was a double order of fries with three different sauces because they saw me stealing fries off my friend’s plate.
Very smooth. 10/10. 👏🏼

He's done multiple impeachable acts in his first 10 days. It is deeply not normal that Congress isn't fulfilling their obligation to impeach.
We don't have the majority, but it is deeply important to record this dereliction of constitutional duty by members of Congress as well.

Well, we knew they would blame the plane crash on DEI, and Trump's sycophants will just nod their heads even though it is a nonsensical claim. I don't know how Republicans live with themselves. I really don't. And frankly, most of those Democrats, too, as they put up no resistance.
