HEB tortillas are the best, IMO.

The right to peaceful protest is a fundamentally American value. Donald Trump is once against abusing his power to sow fear and chaos at the expense of the American people.

I applaud @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov for taking action to protect Californians and stand by ready to assist in any way we can.

-deepen collab w/police, including the FBI
-activate up to 21k National Guard troops
-weaponize the IRS to target people using tax info & grant them the authority to make arrests

Listening to pop dance tracks while writing on gender politics seems to be the only way to go when the world continues to be on fire.

Narrative is my personal favorite. Mila is the best.

Were you one of the thousands of HHS/CDC/FDA scientists, public health experts, researchers who Trump just cut?

I am very interested in hearing from you. I want to know more about the good work you did and what is now lost.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Townhall time!

The 2024 election will mark the first since 2016 that women did not see a net gain in congressional representation. But that's not the whole story.

I wrote about it for @forbeswomen.

What do y'all do when you get a really bad piece of advice but then it just loves rent free in your brain?

Would love to be added, thanks!
