I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

Long story short, it’s not often I get to feel close to my Dad after his death, but today gave me that closeness. What a gift. Loss is hard, grief is real, but love is a balm. ♥️

Color photo of father and daughter posing with a Waterford crystal decanter at a tourist spot. Daughter in her 20s with dark curls and glasses. Father in tan jacket with glasses. They are both smiling.

Went to the store today and the butcher behind the counter looked so much like my Dad. He’s been gone almost 11 years, so that felt sweet. Then sat to read my book while the meat was grilled (I’m lazy like that) and the chapter I started was about railroad work, which my Dad did for many years. 1/2

Dems need to hammer this daily in addition to talking about the human global losses (life, infrastructure, goodwill, etc.) of this senseless war.

I am having so many thoughts! This is simply glorious! But, for sure, I am not having enough parties; I am doing refrigeration wrong; and I for sure thought the lady in the opening sequence was going to be murdered.

Ivey spares life of Sonny Burton The Alabama governor announced the commutation Tuesday, just two days before Burton's scheduled execution.

oh thank God

"The Alabama governor announced the commutation Tuesday, just two days before Burton's scheduled execution."

[life in prison w/o possibility of parole is also terrible obviously but the death penalty is a unique and unjustified horror]

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics.

We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races.

Godspeed, it is a sacred act. The obituaries for my folks were more prescribed, but I wrote eulogies for both of them. It has been 10 and 20 years they are gone, but it still brings me comfort to know I honored them with my words. I read them at times now to bring them closer. An act of love.♥️

I keep thinking of Lindsey Graham’s warning about a decade ago that if Trump were elected, “he will destroy us.” I think, at the time, he meant the GOP, but, yes, here we are. “Us” is all of us, the whole world.
