Black Women save the world. It’s too damn often they have to do this work alone. THIS is the kind of democratization and humanization every organizer needs to support.
Pay attention, pls, y'all. To the people. Eyes on the PEOPLE.
Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

It’s know-how. Understanding the science does actually help you cook and improve your cooking based on results. I cheat and use gravity to keep my bird juicy. Cook it breast side down for 2/3 cook time, then flip it to finish. I also use a force butter on/under skin and cavity. Butter/olive mix.
the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.

Dear Leader's Favorite Son will be loved as long as he is useful. Just like Dear Leader's Favorite Wife--rotting in the tall weeds on his tax-writeoff golf course.
one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Centrist Dems will save nobody from anything and I officially have every incentive to reject and replace every damn one of them. They’re going to toast marshmallows in the oven flames and say it at least smells like barbecue. Get. Them. Out.
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Actual religious persecution.
every sunday, from pulpits in megachurches across america, white evangelicals cry out about some imaginary persecution of christianity. but i can’t stop thinking about the pile of rosaries collected by a janitor at a border crossing or the priest turned away at the gates of the detention camp.
