I Apologize To My Sister

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

This is my grandmother holding my sister, long before I came along and ruined everything.

This is from a recent paper by Angela Coolsa and Eleonora Patacchini:

We examine the impact of having a younger brother on females’ adolescent environment and adult earnings….Girls with a younger brother earn about 7 percent less in their adulthood.

I don’t know what to say about this. I’m sorry, Karen. You’d be making 7 percent more if it weren’t for me. That’s thousands of dollars I’ve cost you! Each and every year!
