I can't. We literally just dropped bombs on Iran on behalf of Israel. I hate this fucking president. I hate this fucking president so much.

Time to Teach: Will New Reading Legislation Help or Hinder Instruction?

This post is confusing a lot of folks…especially men. This is about abortion bans.

Pete Hegseth said he doesn’t want women in combat and then sent his mommy to fight his battles for him

When Hegseth’s nomination falls, that’s going to be three failed cabinet appointees before we even make it to inauguration.

So much for a well-oiled machine.

New clowns, same circus.

The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.

Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever

It was an honor to hear Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson speak.

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

At #NCTE24 this week, this is the message I'll be sharing on repeat.

Why do people use the speaker one their phone in a public place? Typically, I don’t want to hear one person talk let alone two.

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name for the Attorney General nomination. Raise your hand if you know the next person Trump nominates will be just as bad, but in a different way.

Safe travels.

See you soon!

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report.

Just fyi

I’m rereading ON TYRANNY by @timothysnyder.bsky.social. (I read it the first time around.) I’m reading only one lesson a night, because I’m trying not to spiral. There are 20 lessons, but here are the first two…

Stephen Miller just told Hannity that there will be a "righteous wave of destruction" starting on day 1 once Trump is sworn in.
