Map of the United States with humorous labels. The northern half of the country is shaded dark brown and labeled ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’ The South is shaded teal and labeled ‘KCoke Demon Hunters.’ The West Coast and Northeast are shaded light green and labeled ‘KSoda Demon Hunters.’ The meme parodies regional dialect maps (like ‘soda’ vs ‘pop’ vs ‘coke’) but replaces them with silly demon hunter names.

Cory Booker now has the longest filibuster in US history, passing racist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond (24 hrs, 18 mins, 1957).

I’m thankful to see an African-American senator knock Strom off his perch.

Senator Cory Booker puts his hand on his heart in appreciation as the Senate applauds for him for having just broken Strom Thurmond's 24-hour-plus record for the longest speech in the US Senate.

Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds! At morning's light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it. They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their inheritance.
Micah 2:1-2

An otherworld - a forest bathed in blue, where white lights shimmer like whispers. Time feels softer here & the air hums with peace. If only for a moment, allow yourself to dream.
