The thing is, people like her were NEVER going to gain this much power on their own merits because they don’t have any. So they will cling to this megalomaniac as if their lives depend on it, because they do.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This is me (though Peeps are only good when they’re stale and the sugar crust is crunchy).

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

The minds of James Baldwin and Toni Morrison NEVER declined. If they’re talking, they’re saying something profound. Staggeringly brilliant.

Conservatives don’t care that she’s gay because she’s not their type. They like young girls and Frankenwomen.

Yeah, I’m not a Beyoncé fan, but Lemonade is brilliant. I don’t listen to Swift, but the lyrics that have been floating around are downright embarrassing. They’re barely at the level of a junior high schooler.

I’m just impressed how, in this moment, all of these psychotic idiots have found—and hired—one another. Because I don’t know people like this IRL. They must have sent out a call via dog whistle.

I even let my picture be taken, willingly! Those who know me know what a commitment to this project is represented here!

This is only true because I’d be willing to bet most of them did not even bother to vote.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

Exactly!! New Orleans hospitality workers (well really management and owners) take note for when it's our time! Don't give aid and comfort!

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

The news cannot show what is happening in Chicago because the FAA banned all non-government drones for 12 days over a 15-mile radius (100s of square miles). They don't want anyone watching them disappearing our neighbors. They don't want anyone reporting what they're doing. Please, don't look away.

I voted yesterday but I could not bring myself to vote in this category. My god. They should have given us the option to abolish the Sheriff’s office entirely. THAT I could have gotten behind.

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯
Screenshot of message from UPS:
