Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

Really annoyed that due to advanced age I am starting to get nutritional advice like: “aim for a healthy mix of protein and fiber! Try a delicious salmon-quinoa bowl!” As opposed to my lifelong preferred foods, such as “gummy bears,” “spaghetti” and “nothing.”

Whenever a critic or someone says something is “pure filmmaking” … I don’t know what that actually means. A meaningless phrase, I fear

One way in which I am a superior parent is that I don’t cheap out on hotel minibars. Take whatever you want, what do I care, it’s a drop in the bucket

This is all to distract from the WB merger

One message I’m not hearing effectively communicated is that a big thing that Zohran and AOC have in common that they are both 1) hot and 2) young. Dems need to nominate young, hot people. We have a lot of them!

Has anyone ever met or seen Jill Stein? I don’t think she’s a real person

Theo spent the morning explaining to me a school project he is doing on the state of Ohio. He specifically chose Ohio for reasons that remain fascinatingly opaque

Is Mamdani the most adorable man to ever hold public office?

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️

This is evil. Like pure pure evil. RFK Jr is an evil man

You know what would make Disneyland even better? If Americans understood how to live in a society

One thinks Kristi Noem could have used some small portion of the $75 billion in funds we are lavishing on her and her prison empire to purchase a new blanket. Even Hermès.

Empty Warehouses, Secret Deals: Insiders Poised To Profit From Trump’s Deportation Boom As the Trump administration hunts for massive detention sites, politically connected real estate brokers are lining up t

DHS has begun purchasing warehouses to detain tens of thousands of immigrants.

The big winners? Real estate brokers facilitating the deals stand to rake in millions — including one previously run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and now run by his son.

Cashing in on cruelty.

If you think setting up a bunch of roadblocks that require completing annoying paperwork ahead of time is going to help MEN vote, boy do you have another thing coming

You know who mostly DON’T change their names when they get married? Highly educated women, one of the most reliably Democratic voting blocs in the country hahahaha

Perhaps now it is finally safe to admit that I have always found Noam Chomsky to be an unreadably boring writer whose points I reflexively disagree with out of spite at having to engage with such dull and self-regarding prose

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Do you remember the historical fiction spinoff novel of Sweet Valley High, which followed all Jessica and Elizabeth’s ancestors to the present day? THE WAKEFIELD SAGA. That was an incredible book
