Absolute legend.

But really, *those* are the movies we're naming? She won an Oscar for ANNIE HALL and more than held her own with an all-star cast in the GODFATHER films.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

If you gotta ask for a date, he don’t like you like that. Block him. No fault of yours, just incompatibility.

If you gotta ask for him to spend $ on you, he don’t like you that. They gone offer that up first. Block him.

If he only offers peen, he don’t like you like that. & thats okay.

The root of my rage is the fact that these evil mfs aren’t even smart. Since the beginning of time they’ve only been able to amass anything by lying cheating and stealing. No brilliance or innovation in sight. Just fundamentally unclean and ugly while spreading germs in the process.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

This isn't just cruel to these dedicated public servants — it also harms the millions of Americans who will lose the vital services they provide.

Trump's been illegally withholding funds and slashing services since Day 1 — and is on even shakier legal ground now.

Back to court.
