My open letter to Elon Musk.👇 Mr. Musk, You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🚨Please let your member of Congress know how crucial telehealth is. For me it’s been a godsend, not having to travel as much & save my energy, which I have very little of at times. Telehealth actually was expanded under the first Donald Trump administration due to Covid locking down medical centers.

My wife texted me a selfie in a new dress and asked, “Does this make my butt look big?” I texted back “Nooooo!” My phone autocorrected my response to “Mooooo!” Please send help…

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

#ProudBlue #50501Movement THIS is why we march! I can’t sit still while the lives of women are risked to satisfy the demands of a religious minority. The fact that it is now clear that these Christian Nationalists are back by a baby-hungry Oligarchy makes me even more angry. FiftyFiftyOne.com

Ok, so my current pet peeve is videos that have the format "did you know if you take [recipe ingredients] and do [recipe steps] you'll have [recipe food]?" Like yeah babe, I knew that. That's literally how recipes work. I don't know why I hate this so much but I do.

Why do people who claim to remember their past lives always seem to be reincarnations of Helen of Troy or an accused Salem witch or someone heroic on the Titanic, and never a random cabbage-selling wench from the 1500s who died in her sleep at the ripe auld age of 39 and never learned to read

Why do Republicans want to harm the most vulnerable? We may never know the answer to that, but we definitely need to push back and protect those that need this program to survive. Call your Reps 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Bernie Sanders explains impacts on community if Republicans gut Medicaid. #DontCutMyMedicaid

This morning I saw my neighbor talking to her cat; it was obvious the poor women thought the cat understood her. When I got home I told my dog...we laughed a lot.
