A year ago I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. They found fibroids and endometriosis and removed those too.

It changed my life.

I cannot tell you how much pain I was in, all the time.

It took me 16 years to get a doctor who took my pain and PCOS concerns seriously.

JB Pritzker: “We’re a nation mostly of immigrants — that is who we are fundamentally at our core. We ought to always be that, it’s what’s made our country great — Immigrants are the most entrepreneurial. Immigrants are the most grateful & patriotic”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Everyone is focusing on President Trump and Epstein in this photo. Who are the other people?I can clearly see their faces. They are no less guilty than Trump or Epstein.

The landlord stayed up all night reviewing security footage to help the police find the suspect.

Feels worth pointing out that in googling him to learn more, I found out that the landlord is an immigrant who came to America in 1979 from Belarus. www.boston25news.com/news/local/l...

I’m alone with the twins while the girls are at a party.

They spill color markers everywhere. A mess.

I thought “ you know what? I can try.”

I sang the cleanup song.

They freaking cleaned up.

Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.

Any time I comment on shootings in the US, I invariably get told that "you need guns to defend against tyranny".

* looks back over 2025 *

.... does "tyranny" mean something different over there?

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Staying silent is not an option. Raise your voice. Stand with all Jews across the world. Enough is enough.

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.

I’m having - well, I can’t call it a conversation, it’s more of a lecture series, with someone who doesn’t understand that, by and large, the people who fought for civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, ended the Vietnam Nam war were boomers and blames them for all the ills of the world.

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

Trump really despises the word affordability and seems to lash out at anybody who uses that term around him. Are we sure that this fucking invalid is not mixing that word up with accountability?!

Asking for the millions of Americans who know affordability is not a hoax.
