The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

I just saw on Twitter that Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation are cutting funding nationally for abortion funds. If you can spare it, set up a recurring donation to your local abortion fund or the National Network of Abortion Funds at abortionfunds.org

The thing with these guys is they view communications media (speech, fiction, film, TV series, drama, you name it) as data transmission and nothing more. The Great Gatsby is a list of events and characters and if you can cut that down to 500 words, you're maximizing something.

As a white parent I'll NEVER presume to tell a parent of color where they should or shouldn't send their child to school. But it's worth noting that in its early days Metco could have been a two-way program, and white parents need to do the work. Desegregation is not the same as integration.

“You enter the Metco program so you can learn from each other’s cultures and somewhere along the lines that got muddled in the water...they see us as charity cases." Operation Exodus, Morgan v. Hennigan, and Metco were all seeking hoarded RESOURCES, not hostile white spaces.

GHOSTLIGHT is a tender, moving study on the navigation of family trauma and the healing power of theater; the bold act of inhabiting another person for a fleeting moment, and trying to understand their motivations has therapeutic value. A beautiful little film.

We got a little 8x3" flyer with our Massachusetts vehicle registration renewal that aims to remind drivers of the rules of the road. It may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think that's going to cut it. We should probably have drivers re-test every 10 years or so, at least the written portion.

Two years ago today, SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade. Even though we’d been warned it was going to happen, hearing the news that morning was a gut punch. The shock, anger, and helplessness I felt was overwhelming. Today, look at how many women in America have lost a critical right. It’s infuriating.
