It's the one year book-iversary of Holding It Together, and I think its message is more urgent than ever. Because the book is about how the US came to rely on women as its safety net. But that story is fundamentally a story of what happens when billionaires don't want to pay their fair share. 1/

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women. Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net. Writing HOLDING IT TOGETHER was a labor of love and fury and I'm so grateful to share it with you all #PubDay www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

So shameful to be betrayed by our leadership.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

saw an interview where the ICE guy, Homan, argued that migrant teens in school are actually recruited gang members. The maga movement has to convince Americans that these children are criminals because, normally, people don't view children as criminals. We call them students.

The right. Not even a smidgen of self-awareness.

Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."

“The American public will learn the national consequences of what happens if vaccination rates fall too far, because we will start to see measles, polio, things that should never see in a well-developed country, come back”. ~Peter Marks, FDA. Someone tell RFK Jr.
