Stop captivating Donna Tartt!!

If you got a fake ai email?

Is this why she hasn’t given us a new book!?

Just kidding. My Grammy never made me cookies but she did emotionally devastate my mom.

Grammy? You mean the lady who makes me cookies?

Best way to feel connected to people is to log off

Opinion | What Ilhan Omar symbolized when she was attacked — and why it drives Trump crazy Lyz Lenz: The administration’s policies are about making women compliant again, using policy and harassment to promote a definition of womanhood that is easier to contain.

I wrote about Iliana Omar squaring up and being cooler and more powerful than all of the administration combined. It’s also about the administration’s misogynoir and its calculated war on women www.ms.now/opinion/ilha...

Him and Pete Hegseth

Mr Beast is evidence that a white guy with no talent can rise to the top

The college professor who told me to be a writer just sold her first book and I’m one of the first people she emailed to tell. And I know it’s a bad time but I feel so lucky to know so many wonderful people. And I’m so excited for her!

I went to the Trump rally in Iowa where there were more people outside protesting than inside cheering for Trump. And I watch Trump, try to regain control of the narrative www.patreon.com/posts/realit...

There is cosplaying power and then there is actually embodying power. Learn the difference.

I mean I’m being a little silly but all these tough guy war games all amount to make them look like big powerful guys. But they murder unarmed citizens and are stopped by whistles. Meanwhile, Illhan Omar the object of all their ire, steps forward not away.

No ICE agent looks tougher than Illhan Omar did when she stepped into the face of the man who assaulted her like she was going to clock him

To be fair, I’ve been ruined by so many women with the last name of Olsen and Johansen or even Larson. It happens to us all, Greg Bovino.

Defeated by Antifa wine moms

“For years, a certain kind of liberal has either minimized such culture war rhetoric coming from the other side, or urged political actors of all stripes to ignore this, in favor of ‘material’ & ‘kitchen table’ issues—as though the state regarding one’s life as ‘garbage’ has no tangible consequence”

At last, a gift link!

the funniest thing about media outlets refusing to call these guys Nazis is that they so clearly want to be called Nazis and are doing literally everything to be called them and outlets are like “who can say???”

In a way, we ARE paying for it. Paying in lost daycare hours, lost sleep. Small businesses are suffering, particularly those that are immigrant owned. And people are paying with their lives.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

They say everyone should have guns. And that it’s our right to have them. And scream and fight for the right to carry them. Then the moment they shoot you as you lie unarmed on the ground with five men in your back, they say it’s because you carried a gun.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

This is Ingrid Rasmussen I met her when I was in MSP reporting. Her church Holy Trinity is doing amazing work and this is such an incredible photo.

My mom is a priest who’s been showing up at the courthouse in her city every week for months in a clerical collar to help immigrants and confront ICE. I’m not religious, but I find the moral leadership she and other faith leaders are showing exceptionally moving.

I actually like the author and I’m not gonna call him out like that but I think that’s why it sticks with me because someone who should have otherwise thought deeper went with a “if I can’t see it it must not be happening” take

I keep thinking about that New Yorker piece from last week that argued “protest is dead.” Meanwhile the protest has never stopped, and won’t ever end. Because the protest is also feeding people, it’s raising money for rent relief, it’s whistles, it’s diapers, it’s also signs and strikes.

I also want this as a tattoo!
