I miss having an actual president.

I watched this live and my jaw was on the floor. He sat there talking trash, and they actually applauded him. He looked so pleased with himself afterward.
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

For anyone pushed out, ignored, or unwelcome this week — hear this: God holds you close. You are fully, fiercely BELOVED. No family, no church, no politician can take that away. The Open and Affirming Coalition is with you. You matter. 🌈❤️

It’s always been hard to make it as an artist in America – and it’s becoming only harder
It’s always been hard to make it as an artist in America – and it’s becoming only harder
Instead of treating creative work as a legitimate field, US labor policy, copyright law and the tax code have failed to offer artists stability or protection.

🎨 Joy is resistance
I’ve spent years calling out what’s broken, but I’m shifting. Resistance can be joy, breath, creation, existence. This Black man — maybe queer, maybe not — is seen, worthy, free. Our joy is sacred.
Art. Joy. Resistance. Repeat.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

DHS altered a Black boy's video then used it to threaten Americans.
Since we won't come outside they are creating ways to make it seem like we are.
