Hygge is my favorite.
Baking, hiking, digging in the dirt, smart and compassionate friends, and living out my dream life in Maine.

And also fighting for democracy and human rights.

In California, a mother of eight who has lived in the country for 40 years was deported just one day after she reported sexual harassment by an ICE contractor on her case. This action was taken despite a judge’s order prohibiting it.

I think about this a lot. And the protests for justice in the streets. Thinking of his family.
11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

🎯🎯Must read piece on how John Roberts created the conditions for Trump’s rise and has enabled his criminality at every turn by @pemalevy.bsky.social and @ariberman.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Honestly if House leadership can’t whip or at least vote against this a day after House Republicans voted against a similar motion against fascism then they have no business being in leadership

Scoop: Vindman + 38 Dems demand Trump release "full transcript" of his 2019 call w/MBS, implying it has info about Khashoggi murder. "Americans deserve answers" on the call, they write, "as well as any promises, favor or commitments exchanged during the conversation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Mother Jones has been on fire on the John Roberts beat and, man, I'd love to see our national press pick up this ball.

"It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy."

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center

we're really not prepared for what's coming
As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

Johnson’s victims, according to a pair of arrest affidavits, were the child of his now ex-girlfriend and a friend of the first child.
Andrew Johnson — a Jan. 6 rioter who went by "Am🇺🇸rican T🇺🇸rrorist” on Elon Musk’s platform — has been arrested on child molestation charges, with police saying he used the promise of a taxpayer-funded payout from Trump's DOJ to try and keep one of the victims silent.

Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

We might also ask the same of all of Trump's bootlickers, no?
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
