My heart breaks for the Kennedy Schlossberg family. Tatiana was a thorough pull no punches journalist regardless of familial ties. Tatiana's husband, child, parents, and siblings are in our prayers tonight.

They really think the hobbits were the bad guys and the outcome of the story was tragic, don't they?

She has the microphone.
She has immunity.
If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor.
Silence isn’t caution.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

The SA volunteers at my local Walmart don't usually directly solicit donations, so I ignore them. One directly asked me yesterday, and did NOT like my response in the slightest. Saying "I don't donate to groups that let queer folks freeze" is assault, according to her. She tried calling the cops.

This is caused by adults not maintaining their pertussis (whooping cough) vaccines.
You should be getting a Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine every 10 years.
We have a baby coming in the family (my first grand nephew!), so my husband and I both got vaccinated this week.

It’s the same divide and conquer tactics that they always use.
Divide trans people and gay people. Divide migrants and the white working class. Divide middle class cis white women from … literally all other women.

I know my marriage is a radical act (merely holding a boyfriend's hand in public in South Mississippi for the first time 15 years ago felt like an act of revolution).
