Example: Elizabeth Warren was a moderate law and economics lady and ran a series of studies on giving people better financial information/educafion. The fact that almost no one made better decisions thereafter helped push her to where she is now!

Long ago, I had an immaculately dressed French professor. Immaculate, effortless, dynamic wools that looked fantastic. She also, over the course of the semester, had maybe four outfits in total? Anyway this reminded me of her.

Cynically, “We’re the broad patchwork coalition of the oppressed in this country … but also we will feed your little group to the wolves if we think we can boost our ratings a smidge” … has some long term problems as a strategy!

Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.

I grew up close to the Beaver Valley nuclear plant. There’re now radioactive materials in the Ohio River nearby. None of it appears to be from the plant; it’s all from natural gas development. Food for thought! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/c...

In Ohio, Toxic Wastewater Is Bubbling Up Out of the Ground

The state is a major importer of fracking wastewater, which gets pumped underground but doesn’t always stay there. The city of Marietta is fighting back.
