I’ve had a bottle of Pinot noir in my house since my mom’s memorial service 9/23. Today I drank most of it. I’ve survived three months of this USA shit and spring break just started for my teen after three separate performances in one week. Best Pinot noir evah.

I have a store credit to Quince through my job. I told my kid she can use it for new bedding. She said she wanted floral sheets and Quince doesn’t have them; I joked and said she should try catorce. She didn’t get it 🥴

I live in a deep indigo blue bubble in a blue state but already seeing folks in this area feel emboldened to show their racist, bigoted true selves. No place in this country is safe with this administration.

I was snickering at the response but w/ the synchronized head swivel I realized I was the only white person in the place. They saw me snickering & a synchronized shoulder relaxation happened. The veteran gave me dap & we shared some barbs and jokes but dang I did NOT blame them for such a reaction.

Yesterday waiting in line for takeout a gentleman with an Army Veteran cap was chatting w/ the kid behind the counter; he was clearly new to the job. He said to the kid, “Keep working hard, keep your chin up and remember, F*ck Tr*mp” and then the kid, veteran, & supervisor all quickly look at me… 🧵

A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.

“It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized.

Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

Let's Talk About Boycotting Brands over Political Donations Dispelling and confirming rumors about popular fashion retailers and their political donations and leanings.

Another inaccurate list is going around about retailers that supposedly donated to Trump, Project 2025, and/or DOGE. Soma, HomeGoods, and L.L.Bean for example do not deserve to be on the list. My research: www.wardrobeoxygen.com/boycotting-b...

20 years as a content creator/influencer/blogger, 8 of them full time & breadwinner. And 20 years of knowing fashion is political and meshing the two. It’s scary, you’ll lose followers, but if you have a platform you need to use it for good. You will get signs you’re on the right path.

Yes! I found it and added it to the post. So frustrated how so few know about what’s happening, even those of us chronically online!

This can read as a fluff/pointless piece or an example of how bad society has gotten that an experience in 2004 is news in 2025. May we all be as chill and accepting as this man as we go through today.

I am eligible for the DAR and Mayflower Society but never joined. Can’t believe the orange man inspired me to finally do so. Maybe it will protect my daughter in the future so she can protect others…
