Raising a family in Portland, OR. Love to read. Love to knit. Do not love making dinner.

“I don’t want a baby” is as good of a reason to have an abortion as “I am a rape survivor.” Similarly, “I have no desire to procreate” is as good of a reason to take birth control as “I have endometriosis.” It’s an ob/gyn office not a church.
Ursula LeGuin on the singular ‘they’
Sure, I agree with everyone saying that the solution to this is to elect more Democratic senators, but let's just pause & reflect on the fact that that 50 Dem senators in Congress today represent *40 million more people* than the 50 Republicans.
Everyone is trying to figure out the "enigma" that is Sinema and her end game. I've thought a lot about it and here's my sophisticated analysis: she just doesn't care. It's about Sinema. She's probably not even going to run again. She's getting paid & then she's getting out rich.
There are three reasons the Supreme Court issued a disingenuous midnight decision all but nullifying a constitutional right by shadow docket: Because they wanted to, because they could, and because fuck you. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
So the exact same way your family came here, except yours didn’t do anything to aid the United States first.
One reason the # of Afghans is so high is that people are bringing their entire extended families, regardless of whether anyone meaningfully aided war effort or faces a particularized threat. Perception of an unrestricted policy surely helped drive oversized crowds to airport.
American consumer culture has revolved for ages around the idea of selling people the fantasy of a rugged individualism that doesn’t care about others or listening to anything but your own personal drive for power and wealth. This is not a small factor in our plethora of crises.
BREAKING: Texas @GovAbbott to issue new executive order on Monday banning immigrants from Mexico for bringing rain across the border, damaging State Capitol.

Flying the friendly skies @UnitedAirlines. Sorry @AmericanAir @SouthwestAir @Delta. You’re not helping.
JUST IN: Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines will NOT REQUIRE employees to get vaccinated, breaking with United Airlines' mandate that workers get vaccinated by October 25th or face getting fired.
there seems to be this mindset that poor people should/do just take whatever they can get, even if those items are something no one else needs or wants.
Schools “can’t enforce masks” but sure did enforce not letting us wear shorts or spaghetti straps.
comic books are real books, audio books are real books and children become lifelong readers when they're encouraged to read what they like
Nothing you could possibly gain would be worth selling out your family like this. And he didn’t even get it.
If you only watch 1 thing tonight, please watch this rather chilling video that my producer, the great & powerful Ivy Green made, putting Trump's lying pro-terror words on Fox over images of the actual violence from January 6th. #mustwatch @MehdiHasanShow
I can’t believe the radical liberal socialists coerced Weisselberg into not paying taxes and created a second set of books for Trump Org.
I’ll still never understand why this mob wasn’t leveled by two hours of rubber bullets and tear gas
NEW: Justice Dept. just released horrifying new footage from 1/6. Feds say this is ex-NYPD officer Thomas Webster (red jacket) wielding a flagpole, rushing at police & tackling a cop to the ground. DOJ released this after legal action by CNN and other outlets. (warning: explicit)
"I’m 100% certain the Texas law would’ve been blocked under the Voting Rights Act, if John Roberts hadn’t gutted the law" I told @jaymichaelson @thedailybeast. There's a straight line from gutting of VRA to wave of voter suppression today thedailybeast.com/jim-crow-is-ba…
