Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Excellent advice, as always; please do find ways to influence your electeds; maga killed bipartisanship and we can't pretend otherwise.

Charlotte is turning into Chicago in the course of a day. My husband went to work earlier this afternoon and was informed Hispanic staff were sent home due to an ICE raid around the block in which all the Hispanic employees were rounded up and arrested. Fuck ICE.

Oh yes, lol. At home, I have three “shadow cats” that masquerade as clothing & other items. This is especially true when getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night!

Who amongst us has not reached down to pet the cat, only to realize it is the jacket we left on the end of the couch?
