Anyway back to my ongoing theory that women use AI to get more done and men use AI to get out of doing more.

Remember Charles Littlejohn, the IRS contractor who leaked trump, musk, and a bunch of rich folks’ tax returns? He’s currently serving 5 years (maximum sentence) for this. Now Sen. Rick Scott is suing him.… www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Rick Scott sues contractor over leaked tax returns
The lawsuit comes almost two months after Trump filed a lawsuit against the IRS.

Eight months ago, @tressiemcphd.bsky.social's piece was published. Eight months the Dems could've had (longer really, if vouchers would've done a better job from the beginning) to put a suitable candidate in the race. Listen to Black women.
Claire E. Aubin@ceaubin.com · 9mo agoTressie McMillan Cottom (@tressiemcphd.bsky.social) absolutely suplexing the Platner tattoo apologists in the NYT today. My professional life is spent thinking about what makes Americans so quick to shove overt Nazi stuff to the side in favor of political expedience - she gets this exactly right.
the claim of fraud is simply the claim that americans who vote for democrats are not legitimate members of the political community and their votes shouldn't count.
Sometimes I think about that Facebook group from the early days called “I will go slightly out of my way to step on a crunchy-looking leaf” and how everyone joined it
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2mo agoI know it's unfathomable today, but the early years of Facebook were really fun! You could organize events with your friends, join goofy groups and share pictures from nights out. Then your mom joined and your boss joined and your local politician joined and it became something else.
Shut Delaney Hall down, NOW. Today, @menendez.house.gov and I went to Delaney Hall because of the inhumane conditions we've been hearing about. What I saw and heard is absolutely unacceptable.
WATCH: Last night I had the chance to sit down for an extended conversation with Jon Stewart to talk about the state of voting rights & democracy in this country. Class was very much in session! Thank you @thedailyshow youtu.be/SCse1FFEKLM

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
Inspiring words from Jane Goodall in newly released interview from shortly before her death. Gift link wapo.st/4cEf1lm
In a previously unaired interview, Jane Goodall delivers a call to action
“Just do something,” the noted conservationist urged in the months before she died. She advised followers to “act locally first” in the face of intractable global problems.

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.
STOP THE SAVE ACT (Updated) My new piece is up with lots of info about the SAVE America Act - the version of the SAVE Act that passed the House and is before the Senate this week. This is a MUST READ and then ACT. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2
What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.
“The SAVE Act will require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections…” “Only half of Americans hold a valid passport…Birth certificates are also problematic for many married women [whose] name may be different than the name on her birth certificate.”

I keep being like why are people so willing to fight for their own demise but these are the same people who filled in pools rather than just let Black people have shared access to them so
“If passed, the SAVE Act will disenfranchise 20 million voters.” Trump has pushed the Republicans to hold a vote in the House this week. Call your Rep and your Senators. 202-224-3121

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
Yes! Be a poll worker, volunteer as an observer, contact elected officials. I've been a poll worker for a couple years, and it's a long, mundane day but very important to have competent staffing at our polling places.
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 6mo agoas i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.
