Just so we’re clear:

We’re a lefty money account, not a MAGA account.

Just bc we are telling folks to stay calm during tariff & stock market volatility does not mean we endorse what our shitbird president is doing.

We’re here to talk you through how to react & how to protect yourself long term.

Think about it now and make the holidays ones that are actually joyful. For you and your loved ones. No one else.

Let’s talk about the upcoming holidays right now, when we still have time to plan for them.

Are you buying presents and planning an elaborate meal and saying yes to all the parties and commitments because you want to do it all? Or because you’ve done it all in the past and now you feel stuck?

Three things to do today:

1. Unsubscribe from two emails that regularly tempt you to spend money

2. Delete 20 (or 200) photos from your phone

3. Make that appointment you keep putting off (maybe it’s your annual skin check, maybe it’s another one)

Love,

Another day with no money spent ✔️

Starve the oligarchs. Money is the only language they understand.

The more comfortable you are with what looks like enough, the more comfortable you’ll be letting people fully into that life of enough to share it with you 💚

It is normal to:

Live in a home under 2,000 sf

Have a bunch of mismatching furniture and dishes

Regularly ignore the clutter that is your kitchen table

Invite people over for potluck dinners instead of always going out

What the absolute awfulness is this.

Three things to do today:

1. Look into freezing your credit as a general practice to protect from data breaches

2. Check your fridge - any food you need to eat before it goes bad?

3. Sunscreen is important, even as the days get shorter

I interrupt this non sports account to go what the heck is even happening with the Mariners in this game today?!

Three run homer, three run homer, two run homer. Up 9-3. Like. Growing up in the Seattle areas I don’t know what to do with this 😂😍

Sea-Tac Airport won't air Kristi Noem's miserable propaganda, and that's a good thing.

Donald Trump is not a king, and dog killer Kristi Noem can't just force our airports to break the law on her behalf.

Sea-Tac won’t air Noem video blaming shutdown on Democrats

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport won’t broadcast a video of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying Democrats caused the federal government shutdown.

Frankly, Portland, which I’ve never been to, sounds like a really fun and creative and less self serious than it’s rap place!

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Three things to do today:

1. Learn whose unceded territory you live on (Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!)

2. Stay HOME if you’re sick. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Get your annual vaccines.

3. Make sunscreen a daily habit. Your skin will thank you

Love,

More horrors of Portland. Someone please protect Kristi Noem from this while she’s here saving us from the naked bike riders.

Resistance also looks like:

Food bank donations, mutual aid, $$ to orgs like PBS & ACLU

Talking to your kids about what’s happening

Buying (& reading) banned books

Masking in crowded indoor places & med facilities

Resistance isn’t only protesting, and it is absolutely not just being joyful.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

It’s nothing new but I’m alarmed by how this Administration’s propaganda has jumped the shark. It feels like it’s accelerating and stage setting.

What gender roles?

My husband is repairing clothing for me today as he’s been teaching himself how to use my sewing machine lately.

Right. I mean I’ll take it, but let’s be realistic about what it actually means in the big picture.
