- This was shared by a retired public radio host. (I won’t say who, but if she wants to come forward and claim her laurels, all the better.) The graphic itself was created by Gary Huck. (Give him some loves.) It’s effing brilliant: If NPR doesn’t steal...65 comments 237 Recs
- April 2002 was a time I can't erase from my memory. I experienced pain coming in waves. I had tears in my eyes. I called an OB/GYN in my network. I traveled to his office. I had an ultrasound done. I had tests done. I had to call off work that day. I...17 comments 35 Recs

- It’s no secret that Donald Trump hates media outlets that challenge him and his administration. In the past, he’s singled out The Washington Post and CNN, corruptly using his office to try to punish them and their parent companies. Now he appears to be...91 comments 152 Recs
- I don’t think many people can accuse me of being a Biden fan. When he says something stupid, I call him out on it. But sometimes he reminds me of just what a different league he is in compared to Donald J Trump. I was moved by two things he did last...111 comments 114 Recs
