Call Her Daddy changed the lives of many young women & it’s cultural impact hasn’t been documented enough.
From sugar babies to regularly popping Plan B — there’s a lot to unpack.

My neighbor called the police on people playing soccer in our park and the police were like, “yeah we aren’t going to act on that.”
✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼yay sensible people
In front of Longworth House Office Building is a bus full of Members of Congress that are just now figuring out that
@realDonaldTrump
canceled their Middle East trip.
Lots of very confused staffers running around. Lol. Everyone on the bus is on their phones
so in Michigan about 50,000 people safely protested in their cars not having contact with one another.
A couple dozen weirdos show up with racist signs to protest in a park near the capitol
Who received more attention by the American media?? obvi not the rational safe protesters

That’s really sad. I wasn’t raised that way at all and that’s not the attitude of my Midwestern Catholic community, from what I understand.
I have several close friends who are gay & Catholic and they don’t see that as in conflict with their faith
Getting the HPV vaccine is not slutty
However I AM a slut for vaccines which is why I’m getting the new MMR (measles mums and rubella) vaccine next month y’all check it out
Yesterday, we asked
@CoryBooker
“Do you believe the Occupation is a human rights crisis for Palestinians?” He got visibly frustrated.
He admits: “If that's your issue I would understand if you want to support somebody else”
Looks like he’s choosing
@AIPAC
over the grassroots.
Banning people from representing the US at the Olympics if they criticize our country is a weird stance for people that DON’T think the government should control our private opinions to take, right ?
Am I missing something ?
Moving to D.C. is really coming face to face with the reality that a lot of brilliant, smart people are often painfully stupid outside of a very narrow subject or skill set.
James Patterson co-authored a book with his friend Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton is a longtime friend of Jeffrey Epstein.
James Patterson is the Executive Producer of the Epstein documentary.
@netflix
doesn’t this seem odd??
When I first met Kassy she had just arrived back in America from spending a semester in Haifa and was glowing with love for Judaism & Israel.
Now almost seven years later I get to watch my lovely friend celebrate her first Hanukkah as a Jew with her amazing fiancé !! 💕 'ברוך ה
'I wouldn’t have been able to do this' without choosing abortion. I 'carved with my own hands' her career path. Here's to all the girls lucky enough not to be carved out; you have to born to roar.
I don’t know if speaking up in class when a professor is bashing free market economics & saying his opinion is absolute fact is worth it if I cry for 20 minutes after out of stress from arguing with a Dr. who controls my grade
Does not work for my schedule or mental health
I said in a article draft for my school paper comparing US to China: I am very grateful to live in the United States where we are able to freely communicate and criticize our healthcare system and government without fear of arrest.
I was asked to remove it because it shows bias.
I remember this "privilege walk" my first week of college.
Utterly bizarre to ask a room full of adult strangers to identify themselves if they had been assaulted or had an alcoholic parents.
I am reading alone, at a bar in Des Moines, while having dinner & 3 waitresses (so far) have asked about the book & then told me how messed up they think birth control is.
Specifically they said that effects aren’t communicated + girls take it too young

@moveincircles
in the middle of a long press conference fielding lots of questions Trump made a little joke that any regular person recognized as funny and this is why people hate the media lol:
@dumbandfunn
Carrie had no children, no family, and then her husband died after only having about a decade together AND she will probably live another 30 years alone/with another problematic boyfriend unless she has a complication from years of smoking. Sex and the city is a horror series.
Met a cute guy at a bar in Iowa my junior year and after a 3 minute conversation realized I had dinner with his grandparents every Thursday for like 10 years and another time this cute tennis guy was my 3rd cousin and that’s why I had to move
Iowa’s last nuclear plant closed in 2020 &hundreds of jobs were lost
Compliance & operations costs made the reliable source more expensive than installing solar panels on acres of highly valuable land!
Check out my latest column on the situation ⬇️⬇️
National news outlets only care about Iowa during the caucuses and choose to forget we exist the rest of the time.
Massive storms, massive damage and practically 0 coverage.
I will teach a class as a tenured professor one day about the injustice Melania and her stylists suffered because the media hated Trump. Amazing outfits, perfectly curated and no magazine covers and little impact on American fashion.
Madness.
Someone should be in jail.
All of my grandparent’s 1969 appliances have outlasted every newer microwave, fridge, oven, sink etc. that anyone in my family has bought. Genuinely, what has happened to quality manufacturing?
My friends mom is a smoker and won’t switch to vaping because the impression she has from various gov& nonprofit ads and warnings is that vaping is WORSE than smoking cigarettes
We really need to get a handle on vaping misinformation
The DHS hearing yesterday were like…80% Senators from both sides complaining about how the Department hasn’t given them adequate answers.
Isn’t the job of oversight committees to provide guidance and direction?
Seems like a list of complaints with no corrective action

@lizzwinstead
How is stuff like this real. I’m so incapable of understanding how a demonstration like this can be celebrated, promoted or how it would even be thought of as a good idea in the first place. Crazy.
i share a bathroom with my little brother and I thought I saw a condom on the floor and I almost fell over in distressed Catholic shock but it was, in fact, a cheese stick wrapper& I wasn’t wearing my glasses.
Now concerned as to why he was eating cheese sticks in the bathroom.
I went to a college with a 98% acceptance rate & have interned and worked next to people that went to Duke, Harvard, Yale etc.. recognizing that college isn’t the end all would be pretty freeing for these parents trapped by Ivy League tunnel vision
Very memorable DC conversation that happened during my first internship in 2017:
Me: My dad works for UPS
Person: Cool - is he a lobbyist or external relations?
Me: Ah, well, he drove the big brown truck..
Try planning a dinner party with guests who have this variety of food accommodations:
-Kosher
-Vegetarian
-Peanut allergy
-Dairy sensitivity
-Garlic allergy
I went out to dinner with a man recently and before we left he said “Oh are you wearing that? It’s kind of a nice place..” (a pizza place)
so I changed outfits and then after dinner he asked me to Venmo him $20-30 because it was “more than he expected”
does it get better lol
it was strongly suggested by doctors that my mom consider an abortion because my brother was likely to have birth complications and serious mental disabilities.
My dad said, “this is our son, it doesn’t matter.”
18 years later our 6’2 line backer is doing just fine

Why aren’t there more women subscribers on OnlyFans? Why aren’t there more male sex workers? Why do women have more friendships?
Some very clear inherent and also socialized differences in how men and women behavior in relationships and approach to sex.
I’m at the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels— the police are at the door.
Suella Braverman just took the stage! Press waiting at the door for police to come in and disperse (arrest?) people.
What crime is being committed?
@TulsiGabbard
the speech was nice and he basically only talked about the history of America, honored some special guests who were/ are important and self sacrificing people, and then honored the military??¿
I get being annoyed when he does annoying stuff but the speech& event were lovely
Iowa never shut down church services, everyone just voluntarily stopped having service and we’ve had pretty much no issues so I don’t understand why other states are having tyrinical monitoring of religious buildings.
