American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Just some good dogs during our ‘post run party’ - basically everyone just runs around together and relaxed while I unharness and unbootie. It’s one of my favourite times of the day!

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

My beautiful friend @mlipsitt.bsky.social asks will America's children be flying kites in the spring. If we all come together as we did last night, If we all decide we will march in unison & not quit until we take this country back, then YES they WILL fly kites & they will DREAM IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
