When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth & love has always won. There have been tyrants & murderers & for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall – think of it – always.

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

I know the FBI forensics labs are 2nd to none but time travel seems more CIA

Besides, if the "Biden" FBI had prefected time travel I think Jan 5 would have been their target date. Stop the insurrection before it got started.

I keep wondering if MAGA has any idea that NFL is a socialist organization.

They collect money from each team & then redistribute the money back to each team, even the poorest & least profitable.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Yesterday, my husband and I went out to dinner with our BFFs to a local diner. It was still early bird special time so you know it was filled with old white people.

I know what a fascist is too

Fascists are the bastards my father fought in WWII

I'll bet you anything that old bigot had at least 1 person in his family who fought in that war

He just chooses to ignore that fact

Congratulations on a small victory! That's how wars are won!

I'm Russ Vought's worst nightmare: a bisexual, atheist, childless, feminist, who organized 3 abortion marches-

& can never be CONVERTED.

AOC is Stephen Miller's worst nightmare: a powerful Latina, who speaks truth, & has influence

& can never be DEPORTED.

Be sand in their gears. BE UNGOVERNABLE.

Shockingly, she's got a point about giving Qatar a military base in the U.S.

But hey, there's got to be payback for the $400 million jet Qatar "donated" to Trump.

IDAHO?

The very Red state full of White "Christian" MAGA Nationalists?

Those MAGA are going to stand with open arms while Brown Muslims build a military base in the state?

Oh this I gotta see!!!
