If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

aaaand now it all makes sense

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

I don’t know who made this but great job

Greetings all: @hcrichardson.bsky.social and I did an Instagram chat this morning about how thinking like a true opposition party could really benefit the Democrats. Here you go: youtu.be/kYkBI8WQ0pQ?...

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

This paragraph contains a very good point

People voted for all of us to live there.

This is important - and a very good interview.

Rome wasn’t built, or destroyed, in a day. If we want to keep our republic, we have work to do. My latest post: sarahstyf.substack.com/p/democracy-...

Looks like it’s time to start dusting off this ol’ guy again.

Terrific. I recommend this piece emphatically.

THIS.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

But Mr. Thune’s election was by secret ballot, and Mr. Gaetz likely represented just the first, not the last, effort by Mr. Trump and his allies to bring the Senate to heel. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/u...

I don't believe we can stitch together only scraps of beauty, squares of light. I don't believe in a quilt that doesn't also have patches of sorrow, blocks of ache. Such pieces are of course much harder to want to stitch in. But it matters that we do not exclude them. -Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Tracking Trump’s cabinet and staff nominations: Here are President-elect Donald Trump’s intended nominees and appointees for his second-term cabinet and other high-level positions.

So excited to Defy Gravity tonight with my daughter on her first night home for Thanksgiving! #Wicked

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

The Bondi hearings will be interesting for the opportunity to un-memory-hole this scandal... www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

The dangerous alliance between the criminal Kushner and Netanyahu families goes back decades. An excerpt from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

Fantastic essay. I have seen the positive impact of mitigating cultural sexism w/my own kids. My daughter, for ex, knows that purity culture is toxic & remembers only a church supportive of women in all leadership. She is already one of the most confident, & joyful, young women I know.

At #NCTE24 this week, this is the message I'll be sharing on repeat.

This Hegseth police report is awful business. (Props to Mediaite for obtaining the public record) www.mediaite.com/wp-content/u...

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

This raises an imp't point The media should focus on violated norms They're easy to violate; they're not documented laws They're almost invisible; they're assumed Many are grounded on (former) assumptions about US democracy Their disappearance is DANGEROUS, & we may not notice till they're gone

If you’re looking for primers on federal law, the Congressional Research Service is an excellent resource—balanced, accurate, and clear. Here’s its paper on recess appointments. crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...

"Not so long ago, the entertainment industry tucked away women of a certain age on Sexless Mom Island while their male peers wooed girls young enough to be their daughters and granddaughters. “MILF Manor”? Most producers would have had it condemned." www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Beyond frustrating

Trump's demand that the Senate permit him to use recess appointments to put his nominees in place is about more than just getting those nominees on board. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-letti...

Truly appreciated this conversation between Stacey Abrams and @hcrichardson.bsky.social. Give it a listen! crooked.com/podcast/plot...
