This has some helpful info re: Mahmoud Khalil. I'm not usually short on words but there's not a lot I can put into words when I think about his wife. If they can't produce evidence of anything other than his exercise of free speech, then- He needs to be there for the birth of his kid. 🤷🏼‍♀️ OBVIOUSLY.

Time to go from reactive to proactive, from defense to offense, take your pick of imagery - Sign & send a message to Congress that failure to join is no longer an option. The U.S. is long overdue in fully joining the International Criminal Court. www.change.org/Join-Interna...

Okay Uzo Aduba in "The Residence"? Brilliant. If you like "Only Murders in the Building" or "Knives Out"/"Glass Onion"? This is for you. Also I want her whole outfit from every scene but it's probably full-price Ralph Lauren or even pricier tweedy sweatervesty chic from London.

Manly tariffs? I cannot emphasize enough how much *we've been here before* Women in Germany, 1918-1923. Radical nationalist journalists Sophie Rogge & Käthe Schirmacher amplified "the idea of a male crisis" & blamed WWI loss on "lack of manliness"- Needless to say they were racist & antisemitic⬇️
