My name is Angela Crawford.

I went through 3 years of infertility. Because I went through so much pain I needed as much good to come from that experience as possible.

I started an Infertility support group.

This is my story.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

That is absolutely stunning. My daughter dressed as a Luna moth for Halloween 2 years ago.

I hate how my work is held to a higher standard than every single member of the Trump administration and the Republican party.

Well, groceries is an old fashioned word.

People are more food insecure than when our global supply chains were in free fall during COVID shutdowns.

Some advice from a geriatric to a youth:

Create joy.

I am made of nihilism and gallows humor, but I am happy. I will never stop making joy.

These same people who won't vaccinate their kids fucking RAILED at the schools for being shutdown for COVID, but now they're kids are quarantined at home for 3 GODDAMN WEEKS due to being exposed and unvaccinated.

Worth noting the info comes from local health depts, not the gutted CDC.

NPR @npr.org · 1d

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number.

Sometimes I wonder if Dems do this to fundraise because they see a juicy competitive primary where there is an opportunity to grift.

Angel of the Ozarks @angeloftheozarks.bsky.social · 11h

It is very, very important that every resistance lib, progressive, shit-poster, and even the neo-libs pay very, very close attention to the Democrat primaries right now.

Who's running and more importantly who's backing them.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 14h

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

I think this is the right way to run a primary against an otherwise popular incumbent governor without directly attacking her age (which might be sensitive to some older primary voters). Tie her to Schumer, who is very unpopular.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...
