Was I very productive this week? No. But was I able to rest and relax? Also no. But was I gentle with myself about all of this? No

When you think of "quiet luxury," you're thinking of The Row.

They never advertise. They barely do press. But they're your favorite fashionista's favorite label.

This is the story of two mogul designers who silenced critics and created one of the most coveted brands on earth:🪡

friends…why would i want to know every state you lived in? or your age, height, and favorite animal? lets think here

[Kristin Song @kristinsong3]

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

BREAKING: A bill has been introduced in the House and Senate that would prevent hedge funds from owning single-family houses in the United States.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Democrats have introduced a bill in both houses of Congress to ban hedge funds from buying and owning single-family homes.

The bill would require all hedge funds to sell off all the single-family homes they own within 10 years, then prohibit them from owning any again.

this isn’t heartbreaking, this is infuriating. this is complete and total fascistic control over bodily functions, over women’s lives. they’re trying to make a spectacle of her. the cruelty is the point.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The images coming out of Gaza are horrific. Netanyahu has resumed his genocidal bombing campaign. We need a permanent ceasefire now. End the apartheid. Free Palestine.
