Highlighted quotation: β€œAs an economist, Low searched for a more precise term to describe how she and other working moms often find themselves stretched for time and energy. She came up with β€œthe squeeze”, and it’s backed by data that shows how women often get burnt out trying to manage competing demands at home and work, especially when they are parenting young children.”

It’s time to end the corruption in Texas. From Abbott to Paxton to The Republican Legislature. They have been in charge for so long that they actual think they can do anything without consequences. Power should never be this concentrated.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Was inactive lately on this platform, but now the pepper season is officially over in my area and overwintered some of them.

I'm happy with the amount of peppers I got this year and what I've managed to achieve in terms of "products". Not everything was perfect or ideal, but we live and learn.

You simply cannot be a political journalist today if you don't know the deep ins-and-outs of the nonsense conspiracy theories. Because people will just constantly say stuff that is blatantly false and you NEED to be ready to call it out with receipts.

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

It’s 2025, and Democrats Are Still Running Against Trump

There's just no way to exaggerate how cooked your brain has to be to think like this. Trump is an unprecedented, law-breaking, norm-breaking, increasingly demented maniac who is destroying this country's basic institutions. Like, right now! As we speak!

But media elites find that boring.
