I'm slowly figuring out life as a singleton. Many of my friends and family are solo women now, but I haven't yet had this conversation with them. Maybe you'll get a chuckle out of my coffee-shop challenge. Or maybe you'll have some advice. #amwriting #introvert madinpursuit.com/Journal2025/...

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Yes, let's use the correct term. It's a return to segregation. Maybe we should remind ourselves about Jim Crow laws.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified" This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

NEW: The Trump/Musk war on USAID & foreign aid has halted family planning/reproductive health programs round the world. That means more unintended pregnancies and...more abortions. One estimate: More than a million "unsafe" abortions in the coming months. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We need to banish the phrase "claimed without evidence" from journalism. Because 100% of the time it means "This public figure told this lie, but my news organization's conventions prevent me from saying it's a lie, even though it's an obvious lie." Calling a lie a lie ought to be the convention.

When someone expresses genuine regret voting for Trump, the best thing we can do is welcome them into the fold. We're not gonna get anywhere with ridiculous gatekeeping and pettiness. Let's offer folks an off-ramp into the coalition of reasonable adults.

Early appointment required driving through accumulating lake-effect snow on top of a layer of ice. Had to suddenly remember my winter braking and turning skills. I did slide through one rural intersection, which gave me just the boost of adrenalin I needed to wake up all my brain cells. #lakeontario

That people now see the typical person Silicon Valley has produced through decades long juvenilizing and coddling of young men and the persistent sidelining of women is an important thing except it’s also too late. These toxic adult toddlers are grown and cloning more.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

For my new @motherjones.com piece on Trump's tariffs, I pulled graphics from the Observatory of Economic Complexity showing where the US gets imported a) lumber, b) steel, c) cement, and d) plastic building materials. Another fiasco for the families who lost everything to recent fires and floods.
