Writing a young adult dystopian novel, building a food-forest, riding horses. My household contains four generations of family and most days we all still like each other. Lover of big ideas and democracy. Prone to quoting LOTR and Taylor Swift.

OMG . . . this administration as a never-ending episode of The Office. Just discovered I can still laugh.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Yes, definitely do it in the car. Miles just disappear. Really, it's magic.

Nice. Don't you love how time and effort don't even exist while listening to a book?

It's normal to them so obviously they think everyone does it.

I work in a horse barn and am always listening to books on Libby while mucking out stalls. I too adore the skilled narrators. I've been transported to hundreds of times and places all while getting a workout and my work done.

We really have no way of knowing if that is true. It could be that voters thought that in Texas a white male is the only candidate who could win over another white male.

That's the exterior of life but it doesn't matter because we are all able to create however grand of an interior life that we want to. It's nice to think about.

Trump needs us to be at war this November. We should be very scared.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Wanted to let you know that I made three calls to my Ohio reps. Thanks for reminding me that there is some little thing I can do.

Yep. For the bugs that it's effective against (and there are many) there's nothing like it. As a horseperson, Ivermecting is so important to keeping my horses healthy and living long lives. Also, after using it for decades, this is the first I've learned that it won a Nobel Prize!

We lost because so many people didn't show up to vote. Half of those non-voters thought Harris/Walz were going to win in a landslide and the other half couldn't bring themselves to vote for Trump . . . or a black woman. It's the non-voters who decide elections.

Why did Trump move Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed?

She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking and raping children.

He didn’t just move her.
He gave her a puppy.

I want the press to ask this question every single day.
Not just of Blanche and Bondi.

Ask Trump.

This government is OURS.

It is funded by US.

That is OUR White House.

WE pay for EVERYTHING.

ALL OF IT.

WE THE PEOPLE are the rightful owners of this nation.

Don’t EVER forget it.

FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR IT.

NEVER give up.

Juan Leon had only been running his Twin Cities tow truck business, Leo's Towing, for a few months when he noticed a pattern that kept repeating itself.
Cars were being left behind across the metro area - parked on streets, in parking lots, sometimes for days at a time. The owners were gone, and in many cases, they had been arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wishing blessings upon blessings to Juan Leon, the owner of Leo's Towing.

The tow truck company has been returning abandoned vehicles to families for free after ICE arrests, despite death threats.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
