AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

I’ve never cooked with preserved lemons 🍋 before, but this cake is a knock out from Samin Nosrat’s #GoodThings

Totally delicious and bright yellow- no dies or flavouring. Just delicious ingredients.

Rip Matthew Shepard 💔 🏳️‍🌈
I worked on a production of the Laramie Project about twenty years ago. It is a haunting play. Sending love to your advocate mom Judy. May his memory be a blessing. 🕊️

Brilliant, beautiful, iconic, stylish, and oh so unique. Her performances always landed, and she made every movie better.
She made it okay for so many women to walk to the beat of their own drum.
Her memory will live on in unforgettable performances.
May she rest in peace. #ripDianeKeaton

Until the whole Mike Johnson Grindr saga started, I didn’t realize it wasn’t written ‘Grinder’.

I guess that makes me an old GenXr

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

It’s outrageous and insane. Any 🇨🇦Canadian that somehow believes privatization will bring down costs is deluding themself. Our taxes simply do NOT add up to these costs.

The increase is truly criminal. There is no other word for it, because someone / some corporations are stealing your money.
