I write about contestants in the Pillsbury Bake-off and their life stories outside of that. Lillian Willis had a different bake-off experience than her white counterparts. In 1949, she traveled to the bake-off under Jim Crow laws.

I know, I know. But we're watching violence against peaceful protesters as well as whoever they decide is here "illegally". It's so .... dismaying

True. It's so hard to watch

Whoa. How did you get there from what I said? Of course I know this and I do blame the pedophile regime. But I can also see the violence erupting against peaceful protesters in Illinois and I'm just expressing my surprise that Pritzger hasn't been more aggressive against it. Jump back.

Where is @govpritzker.illinois.gov ??? I expected more of a fight from this state and more protection from their own National Guard

Wasting your breath. Misogyny is one of their key policies.

A view from the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta field showing dozens of hot air balloons on the ground and in the air, with the Sandia Mountains in the background.

REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Ugh. The most horrible thing is that I read your summary before I read the text on the video and I thought you were talking about America. That's how far we've fallen.

lindybrandon @lindybrandon.bsky.social · 5d

Hmm... sounds like a whole swath of people who now have taxation without representation. Unbelievable.

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA

It did feel like Hegseth and Trump were purposely inciting a civil war with their address to the generals

lindybrandon @lindybrandon.bsky.social · 6d

And of course, the Republican voters in Chicago will also suffer. Trump using his own citizens as pawns in a lose-lose game.
