Someone recently asked why I no longer speak to certain individuals, and I gave an honest answer. Their response? "Why don't you be the bigger person and reach out?"

People often confuse being the bigger person with constantly reopening old wounds, hoping for a different outcome.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The climate crisis is all around us.

We know how to fix it. We have the technology. But Keir Starmer refuses to step up to the challenge.

So we’re turning up the legal heat:

US Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage right
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, as the justices steered clear of the contentious case some 3-1/2 years after its conservative majority reversed abortion rights.

ICE Pepper Sprays 1-Year-Old, Father in Chicago Parking Lot • On Saturday, Rafael Veraza said a masked federal agent pepper-sprayed his Berwyn family, including one-year-old Arianna Sofia Veraza, at a Sam's Club parking lot in Cicero as they tried to leave. • Amid the federal crackdown, agents were conducting Operation Midway Blitz across Chicago neighborhoods; DHS said agents encountered gunfire, bricks and vehicle rammings, prompting crowd control in Little Village and Cicero, Illinois. • Veraza said, 'He started spraying from the front of the car towards the back. Basically I got sprayed all over my face.' He reported his daughter struggled to breathe, and hospital staff called poison control Saturday. • Federal authorities are investigating the pepper-spray incident, and Rafael Veraza and Evelin Herrera said they may pursue legal action to cover specialist care, while Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Rep. Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia condemned the raids at a Sunday news conference. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) use-of-force policy advises against pepper spray on small children, as a federal judge restricted riot control weapons amid credibility questions about Gregory Bovino.
