Quick question, do you take your boyfriend/husband/brother with you on a girls night out? it's unfair not to, right?

Hi hey hello! Shhhhhh! It’s okay! 🤫

We don’t need to be invited to everything! It’s perfectly permissible for other people to have spaces without us!

We literally have every single system in the USA that was built specifically to benefit us!

So, maybe we just sit down now! Hmm? 🤔

White lady to white lady: our
job is to dismantle the anti-Black racism that makes it necessary for Black people to need to build their own spaces, not critique Black people for protecting themselves. You can learn this and you can change your mind and do different in the future!

I went through three weeks of your posts. Never once have you engaged with a Black person or posted about their issues. You already segregate yourself here, so why do you care where they post?

I get where she is coming from. A follow-up question is NOT arguing because you do not like the answer. And the CBS reporter is asking "What if" questions. 🤷‍♀️

Best audio sounds to calm your dog when you're gone

Is playing the sound of human voices, humans singing or dogs playing a useful way to get your dog to stop barking while you're away?

There are real courts with good judges doing actual law. Just not the current SCOTUS majority.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Unpopular opinion: If being self-centered is the sole way to get MTG on the Dem's side, I will take it. At least I can understand why she flipped. Too many times I will see Dems vote with GOP and have no clue why (ex. Sen. Booker voting yes for Charles Kushner). At least MTG is blunt about her vote.

I seriously doubt it, especially considering she pulled a Jussie Smollett and already announced if something happens to her that she is not suicidal. It sounds to me like there is a lot of internal fighting.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., broke with her party Monday evening by calling for action on expiring Obamacare subsidies to avoid premium hikes, adding to the cause led by Democrats.

I would understand if more quit as much as I would understand if some stayed. "Leadership" is not what this is. Sounds more like one very long hazing when they should be focused on actual outside enemies.
