Sydney Sweeney bb … you could learn a few lessons on humanity from Sabrina Carpenter.
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video:
“This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

This is so exciting. I have a new generation to buy these for and I know which covers they will receive!
I am *thrilled* to announce that I'll be illustrating the covers of two more Judy Blume books being reissued by Atheneum/Simon & Schuster!

Rare agreement from both sides of the divide.
The Trump admin wants to open offshore drilling along the CA and FL coasts, and both Newsom & DeSantis are calling it out as a threat to the environment, tourism and coastal communities.
If these two are sounding the alarm together, you know it’s bad.

I use VPN if I do go there to check my account and my work account. Heck, I use a VPN all the time. Double layered.
Important to note that with VPN use, and the (X account location shows that disclaimer) that location can vary wildly.
Eg. everyone using a major wifi provider in Canada has a roving IP address fo security and mine regularly shows me in the US, in Quebec, in BC.
Same with VPNs

Wow.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie ruled Lindsey Halligan's appointment unlawful and the prosecutions against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey therefore invalid.
Both indictments are dismissed without prejudice.

"Mamdani said Trump was a fascist & Trump practically got on his knees to kiss his shoes. Mark Kelly & company asked troops to not obey illegal orders & Trump called for their deaths. Both cases demonstrate that standing up to Trump without compromising works a lot better than bending the knee."

Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.

That said, a soldier with a gun kneeling at a Christian grave in front of a tank (with a No Climbing sign) doesn't exactly say Merry Christmas or Peace on Earth.
