Embracing mystery, reclaiming my sense of wonder, championing books, and trying to dismantle patriarchal systems—especially the ones I keep uncovering in me. 💙

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

And all have broken that promise.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Journaling prompts to release the year:

What can I forgive myself for? What can I forgive someone else for?

What problem am I ready to stop focusing on?

What was one big fear that simply didn’t occur?

Even as an Iowan, if I could pick one thing I want for 2026, it would be for Mamdani’s initiatives in #NYC to be such rousing successes that they cause a tectonic shift in the Democratic Party and an open curiosity in opposing parties, moving us all toward truly caring about people over profit.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

At least 30 people have died in ICE custody in less than a year under the current administration. With the massive increase in detainments, conditions inside ICE detention facilities will only get worse, leading to even more deaths.

Let me get this straight: If I disabled the “smart” stuff that gives Google permission to use all my emails and attachments to train their AI, I lose all my categories so that it is impossible to find the important emails amidst all the ads and nonsense? This is such BS.

STOP STEALING TO TRAIN AI

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

We're headed into the holiday season, so two things to know:

- The only items in the store that are more expensive due to tariffs are: two leather bookmarks. The other 2,100 gift items and 47,000 books haven't gone up. thehauntedbookshop.com

- A trip to a local bookshop is a present in itself 📚❤️
