Darin LaHood won’t even speak out when his boss, the president, suggests his congressional colleagues should be executed.

Yes. However when you look at the best podcasts, they are dominated by women. Here's looking at you #CriminalPodcast #ThisIsLove
New research from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative shows that both podcast hosts and their guests skew very heavily male — and white.

The pain of not being able to be with my husband when he died will never leave me - but I am unbearably proud to be part of the small team of ten bereaved people who have fought so hard to make sure that his name, and the names of all our loved ones lost to covid, will never be forgotten. ❤️
Our beloved lost will never be forgotten. ❤️

A NEW ENDORSEMENT FROM A STRONG LEADER
I’m honored to earn the support of Rep. Maurice West, Assistant Majority Leader in the IL House. I’ve seen his conviction on issues from workforce development to mental health, always fighting for working families. Grateful to have him with us in #IL16!

Are you ready to make history, flip #IL16, and take back the House?
The incumbent sits on $6.5 mil of corporate cash & he's gearing up to crush the first serious challenge he’s faced before it even starts. But if we stand together, we won't let that happen.

@posaune76.bsky.social wooooah
Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

What a difference 24 hours & 1 year make! Yesterday my dad was intubated in ICU & I wasn't sure he'd survive -> Tonight he's awake, off the vent, we got to talk & I held his hand. Last year I was sick w/Covid, isolated in the basement & devastated by the election. Tonight there's #hope. #bluewave 🌊

I mention my great aunt Maggie, who has been covered in the press before - when she took the occasion of her 106th birthday to call out the Queen. As always, my auntie Patricia told her stories best, as in the tale of her son's trip to hospital when he was in his eighties.
![Old Mrs Dundas - your great grand aunt - died at 106. She had two sons, Sonny and somebody else and they never got married and they lived with her. She got up ever morning and she made them dunner and kept house and the two boys were fond of going down to the pub in Derrygonnelly and she had a terrible job minding them. But anyway, one of them had a prostrate thing and was in the hospital. He was 81 and this aul bitch of a nurse - hated Catholics with a vengeance - was saying to me, since I was a social worker - "you'd need to speak with someone, had a drink last night, came in from Lisnaskea", almost as if since I was a Catholic, I'd be able. So she rang Sheila and Joe [my parents] asking them to bring in his clothes, and they went in and chatted with him and he seemed grand. But when they go to pick him up, the nurse says he's raving. Sheila says "he seems fine to me" and the woman scoffed - "we asked him who he was going home to and he said his mother" and Sheila said, "well actually he is" Now Sheila wouldn't think that was funny, she just said "yes he is going to his mother, it's quite true", and the mother died at age 106. There was a photograph of her in the paper. At 106!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lss244cnzeoicm3p3nrg5ovh/bafkreif4b6irssliyom26yxhnxpunpfw2ajtm5whyh5ml7ieypj5tci2vy@jpeg)
