For some novelists, writing is “a way of going up toward something,” Annie Ernaux said. “For me, it’s the absolute opposite. Not going underground, exactly. But into a well.” What draws her down? An idea of some kind? No: “An obsession.”
Annie Ernaux Turns Memory Into Art
Many authors write about their lives. Over nearly fifty years, the Nobel laureate has discovered new ways to do it.

There’s a video circulating on social media that Trump raised the minimum wage to $25 an hour.
1. That’s a lie
2. Trump can’t do that
3. Trump wouldn’t do that even if could
4. Trump actually just *cut* contractor minimum wage.

Hi so this is an example (disregarding the MANY other issues with... everything) of why the USPS is so damn important.
Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

So, which is it?
If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

When I lived in a small city and couldn't drive it was bad enough to make it to the field office to get the reprint of my SS card. If I hadn't been healthy and able to walk, it would have been impossible.
Update 🧵: So we finally got official guidance on the whole “needing to prove identity in person” thing today. No, we do not need everybody that receives benefits to come to the office en masse. So let’s talk about who will have to come in person to the local office. 1/?
