I'm truly sorry to hear about your daughter at UofC. I hope the cherished memories you hold bring you comfort every day.

I'm Filipina, my daughters are Blasian—and yep, I agree! All are college grads. The one on the far right just finished at Smith College in MA, and the recent HS grad in this pic is now at Howard in their 5-year architecture program, earning both a Bachelor's and Master's.

Can someone explain why the Texas National Guard is camped out in MY state instead in their own backyard?

TX violent crime rate (2025): 2,644 per 100,000 people

These rates include homicide, rape, robbery, & aggravated assault.

The TRUTH teller, Kamala Harris: “These Motherfuckers Are CRAZY” 😂💀

Pam Bondi declined to respond when asked whether she had seen photos allegedly showing Trump undressing a child. A simple 'no' would have sufficed, yet she chose not to answer. That silence spoke volumes.

Why would a "war zone" be voted as the BEST BIG CITY in the country 9 years in a row???

Funny how MAGA didn’t bat an eye when certain teams held a moment of silence for a podcaster—one with a history of racist remarks. Yet now they’re up in arms over Bad Bunny being chosen for entertainment? The selective outrage speaks volumes.

Pilar @pettyp8149.bsky.social · 4d

Yes totally agree! Forgot that because we are in unprecedented times.

Last night ICE stood outside of the Allstate Arena (Chicago suburb Rosemont ) as a Mexican band was playing and waited to abduct people as they left.

If you dont want us to call you Nazis quit doing Nazi shit.
