Trickle up! The conventional wisdom is trickle down (in many areas..). Not my experience as a social worker though. 'Trickle up' usually more motivated and brave.

He's going to throw more tantrums soon..

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor.

And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Can you imagine? 7 people deciding your right to have rights on love and marriage? I know this used to be the case but I feel never not find it abusive how we "other" people.

U.S. Anglican Church archbishop accused of sexual misconduct, abuse of power An attempted kiss, cash payments and other allegations roil the Anglican Church in North America.

Well, I for one am shocked.

A screenshot of a post on X from Andrew Cuomo showing him sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden next to Mayor Eric Adams. The tweet says: "No better way to celebrate winning tonight's debate than making it to the @nyknicks game in time for the 2nd half."

Corruption goes courtside.

"Because Trump views the White House as his. For decades, Americans embraced the idea that electing non-politicians to office would improve governance, operating under the assumption that bringing an outsider’s view to calcified systems might spur fixes. This isn’t really how it worked out."

YouTube video by Lawyer Oyer The Pardon Power, explained (part 1)

I'm making you a series of reels explaining how the pardon power works (or is supposed to work 🥺). This is Part One, covering different types of clemency (pardons vs. commutations and remission of financial penalties). Feel free to drop me any questions in the comments! youtube.com/shorts/nYoMJ...

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Ann interesting Frontline piece last night on RFK Jr.

10 headed monster really. He’s never picked only one lane of awful.

The lack of self-awareness this whole time has been pathological. #momsky

Arizona AG sues to force House Speaker Johnson to seat Democrat Adelita Grijalva Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he will administer the oath of office to Grijalva, who was elected to the House in September, as soon as Democrats vote to reopen the government.

Good. Seriously f--k Mike Johnson. Politics is a game, we know. But the cowards are not only enraging, they are embarrassing. Their smallness comes through so loud. Integrity died in the Republican party a while ago. #momsky

Yes to all of that.

Does it ever hurt their brains? The cognitive dissonance?
