Thank you for weaving reality’s complex strands into a coherent synthesis that conveys “truth” - an extraordinary talent. It’s hard to imagine a more exhausting task than tracking this administration’s daily flood of horrors - your dedication is inspiring, as is your nightly ritual with Marz to renew the spirit to persist.
Agree we the people need to step up our push back, peacefully and strategically. A simple act this week: boycotting Hilton, choosing another hotel, and letting them know why (punishing the Hilton venue that refused to house ICE).
Thank you for your continued work at helping all of us to understand the tidal wave of events that is engulfing this country. Your ability to distill all of the events into a coherent analysis is invaluable.
Mary, you are an incredibly talented writer! Thank you for your daily updates on the unbelievable horrors raining down on the US and the world from an unhinged president and his cronies. Your "vampire-spawn" description of SM is most appropriate.
Getting rid of Miller, Johnson, Hegseth and Noem would help a lot in terms of lessening the chaos and boosting morale of those of the on the other side. But what a long shot that would be!
One small thing I do is to spend as little money as possible and spend it with local businesses that support women and people of color, rather than online or at chain stores and restaurants. It’s less than a drop in the national economic bucket but I feel better about my choices. It might be time to get a dog again too. 😉
Thank you for all of the time you take and energy you dispel in creating your posts. I depend on your synthesis and voice to help me organize my jumbled thoughts and get through my day.
"...Trump announced that the South Lawn would host a “big UFC fight” on June 14, Flag Day, Trump’s 80th birthday, and apparently now also Thunderdome Day."
Honestly, Trump's call for a Big UFC Fight on his birthday is beyond parody and, if you think about it--but not too hard, it's pretty funny...in a gallows humor kind of way. It may be the only humor we can get these days.
What a colossal ass, to hold a cage fight on his birthday, bet the Whitehouse lawn hasn't seen the likes of that. I am very encouraged to follow Mary's writings and to see small cracks forming, and we do see small cracks forming, stay the course.
I’m saving your columns so I won’t have to buy the book. Thank you for articulating my thoughts. Unfortunately this entire admin package makes me too ill to stay focused on everything wrong with it 24/7. Warning: Just don’t burn yourself out with righteous indignation. It’s self-defeating in the long run. Thanks for daring.

I appreciate your work and support it. Thank You
I love this: "vampire spawn Stephen Miller"!

Throwing parties and compelling people to attend with metaphorical checkbooks nearby is now a main play.

Holding onto hope with our fingernails...thanks for both the analysis and the glimmers of positive movement!

Thank you...love to you and Marz, the wonder dog!
So grateful for your clarifying voice. You help me make sense of the chaos.
If Tina Turner could be persuaded to preside over it from the Beyond, I might even celebrate Thunderdome Day!
another good one
