Racism is not an unknowable disease of the heart, it's a provable set of actions and responses. That's why the @nytimes.com can't handle. For them to admit that Trump is racist would mean they'd have to admit they been carrying the water for a racist all these years. They won't ever do that.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

There are two wolves inside of you. They've been watching heated rivalry. It has awakened feelings in both wolves that they've tried to deny. They have a couple drinks one night. Try to laugh it off, spill a beer. Their faces get close as they both reach for a napkin. Their eyes lock. They lean in.

i didn’t realize it was corset stitching- needed more highlighting
As an aside, I find the corset detailing to be very interesting and beautiful, but it didn't appear this way to me when I was watching the Grammys. The detail looked like gold studs on his back. The black string was invisible. Wish it showed up better on camera.
Beautiful speech either way.

I’d love Americans to be asked if they had to have their taxes finance one thing over the other, would they prefer it to be a healthcare system that doesn’t bankrupt them, or ICE.
I’m guessing the numbers might surprise the news media…
