This thread on Alito's outrageously misrepresentation of the facts in the NY voting rights case is so damning. Alito's account was misleading to the point of falsity. And there's nothing anybody can do about it. He gets to toss around bogus claims without any consequence.
I know exactly the smell your kid means but how does she know?? (Also, I need to know what this cream is because I also have dry-oily-rosacea face! )
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

Clicking over to give Brad Lander another small donation…
Friendly reminder: This is all unconstitutional.
Call your reps about this illegal act of war. I know it feels pointless (I mean, Schumer is one of my reps, I get it) but we have to keep trying.
Same here. Manufactured ‘emergency’ does not inspire confidence.
I did not realize how much the altitude of CDMX was affecting me until I got back to sea level. Wowza.
A 60-ft pine just came down in our yard (and thankfully not on our house or our car) and tree removal just jumped to the top of the spring house maintenance list. 😬
What does the head contract say?
Wind chill of -25 to -35 F tonight and wanting to not be outside with any exposed skin for more than 5 mins or risk frostbite. Even the golden retriever snow dog does not want to go outside. This winter has been brutal.
Would subscribe.
For some reason, Natasha Lyonne was the first person who came to mind for me.
I know there are worse things happening in the world, but tonight I went to a Broadway show (a rare treat) and the woman next to me, who was wearing leather pants and a fur coat, took her boots off and exposed her BARE FEET. At the THEATRE. Some people
should not be allowed in public. That is all.
Thought we should check in on the total list of legislative flips during Trump 2.0. The tally so far (including tonight):
Democrats: 26 flips
Republicans: 0 flips
It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government
Already over a foot of snow here and a hell if a time for the pull cord on the snowblower to snap. At least it’s light for shoveling, but woof.
it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant
Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)
He was legally observing
He was helping other legal observers
He was helping other potential victims
He was not brandishing a gun
May Alex Pretti’s memory be a blessing
“‘I have privilege. I was medically retired, I'm a combat vet, I'm white, I'm middle class. If I can't advocate for people who need it, then who else is going to do it? Who else is going to stand up and speak truth to power?’" Vermie told ABC News.”

One of the Other Amber Hoovers (the one whose plastic surgery confirmation and whose 2-hr wait at a mall Olive Garden confirmation I’ve received in the past) is now apparently a private investigator and she is bcc-ing my gmail instead of her own on emails to clients from her work address.
It’s bitterly cold in the Hudson Valley and the news is a firehose of horrors, but a Pilates reformer studio opened 5 mins from our house and I am basically treating my seasonal depression and existential rage by rekindling my love of these classes. I am so sore, but still sane, so: success!

Agreed. Those rich yolks!
I currently have Covid for the first time in years (ugh) and same. Had to shut the laptop and just stay in bed and rest and I HATE it but it really works. Hope you’re feeling back to yourself soon!
Messed up my yoga practice (you really use your wrist a LOT in yoga) for months.
