"The narrative about me was written by people with power, with an investment in keeping me a symbol rather than a person. It was easier that way. Symbols don’t talk back."
@MonicaLewinsky writes about how rewriting your story is quintessentially American.

For my entire life it has been true that every time Republicans are in power, they increase deficit spending, and whenever they aren't in power, they complain about deficit spending and pinky swear they will reduce deficit spending if only you vote them back into power. And what do they use that spending for? Tax cuts for the rich, subsidies for big corporate donors, and wars in the Middle East.
If you voted Republicans into power again in the belief they would reduce the deficit and not go to war, sorry, but you were lied to and you fell for it, despite being able to learn from the past to avoid that.
Yes, you voted for all of this. You may not understand that you did, but you did. This is all just the newest variation of what we see every time the GOP gets handed the reigns of the economy.
Democrats need to stop playing this game and instead use deficit spending to make our lives better by focusing on our basic needs and our costs of living. Spend less on the military and more on healthcare and a basic income floor.
Also, to hell with the two party system. We need more choices. We need other parties to win via proportional representation.
Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.
That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.
We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
My current husband @NealFAllen and I have written a book on writing for everyone who has been writing for a while, or wants to start writing a novel or memoir or anything at all. You can buy it at your local bookstore on March 17 but can pre-order at: https://t.co/m8ddKkU5DS
