"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

No judgements, but you don’t want to be a sugar baby or a trad wife. You want universal basic income and affordable housing.

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

Interpretations of the video differed wildly: Cotton said he β€œsaw two survivors trying to flip a boat, loaded with drugs bound for the United States, back over so they could stay in the fight.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Jim Himes, Democrat of Connecticut, called it β€œone of the most troubling things” he has seen as a lawmaker.

Making capitalists β€œpay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

It's such a beautiful moment when you fully realize that a smushy-faced cat truly just does have resting bitch face in the worst way but is actually a sweet loving baby.

Currently drowning in end-of-semester work for my teaching credential program and have resigned myself to spending the last two weeks of 2025 just reading an absurd amount of Don Quixote because I'm behind. Lol. Such grand intentions back in January. πŸ“– #dq25

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

Just then, a Waymo opposite them in the intersection made a U-turn. The pair looked up, saw the no-U-turn sign and put their lights on. The Waymo pulled over. As Smithmatun-gol's partner approached the driver's side window, it rolled down. A Waymo operator's voice came on through a speaker.
"They said they would look into it," he says.
"They were really, really apologetic."
Currently, cops in California can't cite a car without a driver.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
