I believe that she was as different as can be.

Odd enough, I know one of her daughters. Incredibly kind and welcoming music teacher who packed up and moved out of state with her family right after January 6th. I still can’t square the circle of knowing who her mother was given how truly lovely the daughter is.

Hey…has anyone checked their Federal student loans in the last day? I’ve now heard of two people whose accounts are corrupted.

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history Kansas public health officials say the state's ongoing tuberculosis outbreak is the largest since the CDC started reporting TB cases in the 1950s.

Outbreak of TB in Kansas. Largest in US history, apparently.

The most heartbreaking part of all of this has been realizing that people you love and are related to have vile beliefs, and voted in that way.

At risk if Bible-thumping, my current obsessively-read psalm is 109. We are not the only people who have ever hoped for such a thing.

I don’t see him giving up power except by force or by medical incapacity. As the force part seems pretty violent, I’m currently entertaining myself by guessing how many bunches of bananas my family will buy and consume before that last bunch outlasts him being healthy enough to be in charge.

Paraphrasing what numerous others have already said…it’s not like Democrats are the only ones who need insulin. This is cruel.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Someone who runs 4 companies and a shadow presidency shouldn’t have so much time to be a fucking troll.

It really does suck that our ONLY defense against GOP cruelty is GOP stupidity.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

Can anyone who understands Syria explain what the relationship is between the PM and Assad? Is he a conspirator with Assad - whether reluctant or enthusiastic - or is he someone who the new folks in charge are okay with?

I am both incensed that this needed to be written, and amused that nobody reads someone to filth like a pissed-off veteran speaking truth to power.

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
