“They were careless people, they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

My 32 year old daughter has been fighting metastatic triple negative breast cancer for four years. Her fight is almost over. She is in inpatient hospice. I will not leave her side. I’m terrified of losing her. No parent should have to bury their child.

Good morning.
The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.
Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

You know what’s actually really bad for pregnant people…domestic violence. The number one k*ller of gravid women is h*micide by their domestic partner. Not eclampsia, not diabetes, not placenta problems, not even labor itself. Domestic partner violence. Run that up the flagpole, please & thanks!

Even most of what we consider hate speech is constitutionally protected. There has to be a threat. Saying that you think someone is an idiot, or other name calling for example -is protected speech. Not kind speech assuredly, but protected under the 1st amendment of our constitution nonetheless.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was:
* successful at everything he tried
* genuinely intelligent & insightful
* desired by women
* envied by men
* an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with
* a tireless, lifelong philanthropist
... and he died peacefully in his sleep.
10/10 life. No notes.

And for the last fucking time, we do not side with this murderer, we are not cheering for murder. Some of us sigh relief, but this is not celebration. It was a horrible thing that happened, and the person absolutely must come to justice.

Facts matter. 96.9% of mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men. 3% carried out by cisgender women. And 1/10th of a percent by a transgender person. But sure…it’s those horrible trans folks 🙄🙄🙄🙄
