So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

I have but three words for the Houthi Yemen texting breach:

But her emails.

We're witnessing amateur hour. Stupidity at our highest levels.

I guess I had more than three words.

My first post on Bluesky. Apt. I've never been more proud to be a former ACLU staffer and a decades-long card-carrying member.
