The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
This is well worth your time. At the start, I found the format jarring and worried that I embarked on yet another letdown…but this novel is not a letdown. It is a lesson in compassion, a commitment to growth, a willingness to self-reflect, and learning humility and empathy. This one will sit with me
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer is finally here, showing off the fourth go-around for Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
I hate to give this to you as you wake up but…here we are.
America is watching today, so every reporter covering tonight's State of Delusion should be questioning why 50+ pages related to a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault when she was a child are missing from the released files.
This one hits hard.
Our taxpayer dollars should be going to health care, not a personal paramilitary force for the President.
NEW: The FBI interview implicating Trump for raping and assaulting a 14 year old took place one day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell, and emails about the credible accusation came around the time Blanche visited Ghislaine Maxwell in pirson. substack.com/home/post/p-...
The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.
Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.
We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.
This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass
NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?
Whether or not you are a religious person, whether these faith leaders align with your faith, it's hard to deny when leaders this prominent are speaking out that something significant is happening.
No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
Just to make sure I’ve got this right: it was an infringement to prove vaccination for Covid but I’m required to have my docs available to prove I’m a citizen. FFS this MAGA nonsense is exhausting.
"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS: You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you are not trespassing or violating a lawful order. You should not interfere with the actions of the government officials you are recording. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement officer at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status."
"If you interact with ICE in public: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk away. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere."
If you're taking to the streets to protest, know your rights.
The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill
The grief the grief the grief.
And the rage and love.
We have it in us to be so much better than this.
Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago
The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.
The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.
The maniac wanted a noble peace prize. He has bombed 7 countries and counting and starts the New Year with an illegal and amoral war. This is giving Bush Jr, Dick Cheney oil money vibes.
We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad.
The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.
BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...
That’s right!
Don’t close your eyes!
