EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Over 31.8M women & girls have lost contraception access due to US aid cuts. Now the Trump admin plans to destroy $10M in contraceptives abroad. On #WorldContraceptionDay, we call out the human cost of removing access to essential health care.

For a potential event, I'm looking for a social media safety expert in the San Diego area -- someone who can talk specifically about ways tweens & teens can stay safe online (and particularly on social media). If you know someone who might fit the bill, please reach out! 🤗

Everyone has been asking for a plan of resistance. The Democratic Party hasn't really offered people a guide that preserves democracy and effectively fights autocracy.

25 Ways TWIN PEAKS Changed Pop Culture Debuting 35 years ago, Twin Peaks might have originally seemed like a short-lived blip on the radar. But it would up having a profound, decades-long impact on pop culture.

My love for Twin Peaks knows no bounds, so I am here for this @nerdist.bsky.social piece: 25 Ways TWIN PEAKS Changed Pop Culture

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
