Husband, dad, recent grandpa. Retired palliative medicine doc. NYC native but, surprisingly, Midwesterner since ‘16. Deeply disappointed Democrat. Trying to decide where to put my time and energy in this mad new world.
A great book, as are her others.

Excellent. I continue volunteering with @last-mile-food.bsky.social and donating to Freestore Food Bank in Cincinnati. Richest country on earth should have no hungry people. Poverty is a policy decision.

Pretty much what James Carville was talking about in his NY Times piece the other day.

I don't believe Carville's article was about sacrificing people to maintain white male privilege. Don't reach conclusions based on a cherry-picked part of one paragraph. Read the full article for yourself and then decide.
Opinion | James Carville: Out With Woke. In With Rage.

Yes, his title included "out with woke." But his bigger point was this: "Just as it was for the Mamdani campaign, raging against the rigged, screwed-up, morally bankrupt system that gave us the cost of living crisis must be the centerpiece of every Democratic campaign in America.

With respect, the Carville piece was called "Out with Woke. In with Rage." It was a call for Democrats to "build a platform that helps us permanently uproot the Republican advantage in more rural regions. This can be done only with good old-fashioned economic populism, both in message and measure."

I’m not a big sports fan, but I do like my hometown baseball team and would like to just watch the games without jumping through all these hoops.

Well, in fairness it is routine for the FAA to declare a temporary flight restriction in situations like this. TFRs apply to all presidents. Aircraft can’t fly over the White House, either.
