I'm getting that Grinch onesie from Primark for my next travel day.

Mr. Secretary, fix air traffic control- hire a full staff and make sure they have all of the tools they need.

Calling Foul: Breaking Down WNBA Pay and Why It Matters Breaking Down WNBA Pay for Women Athletes and Why It Matters: a case study in systemic undervaluing of women’s work

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Today's Rumi

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.

Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other' doesn’t make any sense.

The I.C.E. Atrocities Should Be the Final Straw for Decent Human Beings. This should be the final straw for us, America.

What I.C.E. and this Administration are doing to brown-skinned people is a crime.
It’s a sin.
It's inhumane.
It's not pro-life.
It’s not Christian.
It’s not making America great.
It's wrong by any measurement decent people use.
And it’s time we said it.

Just another young conservative white guy who fires guns for fun. Stop being surprised- it's a bad look for our premier law enforcement agency. Y'all seem to have a massive blind spot. How many more such deaths will happen on your watch?

Dear Kash,
Not sorry to see that your transphobic wet dream didn't pan out.

Stop gratuitously scapegoating the most vulnerable.

You're the FBI. Do actual police work. And talk less.

You seem over your head.

I can’t adequately articulate how stupid and dangerous this is.

Vaccine-preventable diseases will come roaring back.

Public health and vaccination are not choose your own adventure.

The vaccination rate needs to be 95% for adequate β€œherd health”.

My Great Dane occasionally slimes his face whilst eating. A nice neighbor lady saw him on a walk just now and she said "Oh look, porn star face."

I can't un-hear that.

If you're fighting
for the next unstable
20something mass shooter
to have easy access to AR-15s,
bc "personal freedom" means more to you
than the bodies of dead American children,
then maybe the problem is *your* mental illness.

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
