Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.
It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

No one I know is mourning Khamenei because he was a mass murderer.
We’re worried because we also know what the Americans and Israelis are: mass murderers.
the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.
they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.
for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation

A beautiful homemade flan
One of the moms of the families I’ve been delivering groceries to asked today if I’d be willing to accept something from her. And she came back with this beautiful flan she’d made to say thank you for helping us. I am crying. People are too kind. This is whom our government is forcing into hiding.

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress.
The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

I'm always reading at least three books, plus a bunch of ebooks started, plus manuscripts I'm working on, plus submissions. I spend an incredible amount of time reading every day, it's just hard to spend it reading the same thing.

"I’d promised the tenants that we would not let up on this story, especially when many of them got in touch to ask us, in the absence of any clear communication from their landlord, whether they still had a place to live."
Journalism is a public good.
ICE is all over TN right now, kidnapping people off roads and construction sites. Nashville's seen the most visible pushback from citizens, but it's getting essentially zero media play. Johnson City has seen a surge in the past two weeks. Today it looks like they're pushing in Chatanooga.

Two photos with captions from my special Positive Reinforcement. 1. I have a lot of hometown pride, but that's hard to show. Because it gets so aggressive when you're from around boston. 2. I have a red sox hat, and that's fine. But one notch above that gets too macho.

Two photos with captions from my special Positive Reinforcement. 5. Level three is a button down shirt with a camo pattern made of shamrocks, and it's called "shamouflage." 6. You're really only supposed to wear it when a Dropkick Murphy is born or dies.
