stock market soars on fake solution to manufactured crisis (which still results in widespread harm)

Reflection on ICE terrorizing our community this week. open.substack.com/pub/aftynbeh...

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

To the mamas who raised us, loved us, held it down—and still manage to fix everything with a hug: we see you, we love you, we thank you. Happy Mother’s Day to the real MVPs.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Again.

Nothing like waking up to a burst pipe! 😩😩😩😩

Happy Mother’s Day! Our recent polling shows just how tough of a job it is!

Happy Mother’s Day! 💐 So thankful to be momma to my 2 girls (& my 3 fur babies).. they are my heart. But I’m missing my momma today too. Wish I could hug her and tell her thank you for everything. Sending love to all the moms, stepmoms, grandmas, & furbaby mommas. Hope yall have a great day today!

The arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka is a wake-up call for all of us. We must recognize the danger of Trump's authoritarian tactics and stand together to fight back against his attacks on democracy and human rights!

Tonight’s odd combo. Surprisingly very yum.

CARTOON OF THE DAY #AmericanPope

New data analysis shows Harris didn't lose because Democrats stayed home. Even with 100% turnout of 2020 Biden voters, she would have lost. One key factor? New 2024 voters broke heavily for Trump. Get the story here: shorturl.at/4Ys0E

What Moms REALLY Need (Hint: It’s Not Flowers) 💐 Our nationwide poll provides some challenging numbers. The perception of motherhood today = more stress, less support. (1/3) shorturl.at/pCfCs

It’s Tuesday. Why 😭😭😩😩😩

Was she late? That’s the question. 😂 But for real. Glad to see her looking so good!

Exciting news! We were just named a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist in Explanatory Reporting alongside The Center for Public Integrity and @revealnews.org for our “40 Acres and a Lie” investigation into how formerly enslaved people were given land—only to have it taken back: 40acresandalie.com

Too bad you forced her to resign for censoring one of her political cartoons.

Mayor @freddiefornashville O’Connell on @tnhighwaypatrol + ICE terrorizing immigrant communities this weekend: “State & federal officials coordinated without us… their approach is not our understanding of what a NASHVILLE for all of us looks like.”

happy tuesday to all the exhausted motherfuckers who celebrate

NEW YORK: “Please detail what your red line is, and at what point you’ll actually stand up for the constitution you swore an oath to defend.” An older woman is carried out by law enforcement for asking questions @repmikelawler (R) doesn’t like.

Your School House Rock moment......

Yes, Real! 😍😍 #MetGala

Better 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 see 👏🏽 nann 👏🏽 👏🏽 red 👏🏽 hat 👏🏽 person 👏🏽 celebrating 👏🏽 cinco de mayo!!!

I haven’t had braids in YEARS but the way this perimenopause has me sweating. I’m about to get them bc I am not dealing with my hair this summer. Whew 🥵

Just saw a comment say “sleep is a free trial of death.. but with ads” and now I’m gonna ruminate on that all morning.

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

Kamala Harris: So look, some people are describing what's been happening in recent months as absolute chaos. And of course I understand why. And it's certainly true of those tariffs. Tariffs that, as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession.

The dress code said “wear a tuxedo”. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Chronic pain is no joke, yall. It will wear you tf down. Rainy day today so everything hurts.

Happy Friday! Here are tongue bleps for your enjoyment.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

I have anxiety about my anxiety and stress about my stress.

A new low, even for MTG 👀

look at Pete Hegseth’s sideburns and tell me this man isn’t drunk shaving

Politician: Birth rates are plunging. We have to do something Me: This can of baby formula costs $50. Can you fix that? Politician: We are making a $100 million Super Bowl ad for the uterus

I feel like I’m being gaslit by folks telling me these Lorna Murray hats are cute. They look like little house on the prairie meets handsmaid tales. Why are folks willingly wearing them?!?!!!

BREAKING: Pope Francis has died, Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo announced.

Pope Francis dies at age 88 www.nbcnews.com/news/world/p...

That man's number two is literally cursed. Like why are people dying four hours after they meet you face to face?

Yall better be acting right in church today with Easter on 4.20 😂

Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

8647!

Yeah, this seems VERY important
