All three are better options than artificial sweeteners, but if you’re searching for the one that tastes closest to sugar, works well in baking, and won’t spike your blood sugar, Allulose is the winner.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

WATCH THIS SHIT: A woman was dragged away by her throat by ICE agents. The same West that lectures the world on women’s rights is silent when the abuse comes from its own hand.

Brutality dressed as law. Oppression disguised as order.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.
