K-hole just tweeted something that literally made me get the dry heaves. This is so unfair.

I think we’re about to see another Habemus Papam situation, folks.

We could contact Nefesh B’nefesh right now and go to Israel but fuck that, I’ll stay and fight.

I don’t hate Pam Bondi because she’s a woman and I have internalized misogyny, I hate her because she’s a sycophant who is selling out other women.

Poland said on Saturday it has been paying for Ukraine's Starlink subscription and will continue to do so despite sources saying the United States could consider cutting Ukraine's access to the satellite internet system.

He’s gonna cry in a minute… He’s gonna cry in a minute… Cryyyyy in a minnnnnute…. He’s gonna cry in a minnnute.

Arteta— Sit down. Stay humble.

He nails it.

If you still have friends/family who think this administration will help them, talk to them about money....

He even LOOKS like Roy Cohn.

Largely why I am careful about what I go to…

Hegseth on CQ Brown: "Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter."

Y'all...I can't😑

This morning AG Bondi fired ATF’s Chief Counsel, Pamela Hicks. Within an hour, Hicks was given the memo from the AG, computer access was terminated, and she was escorted out of the building. Hicks was an exceptional and highly ethical chief counsel. Trump’s purge continues

If you feel guilty about being happy or having fun, just remember that those currently in power *want* you miserable and scared. Your joy is an act of rebellion, but more importantly it's a balm for your soul & a light for those around you. Happy #MardiGras, #NolaSky! & a beautiful weekend to all 🫶🏼

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday said it would drop a case accusing Elon Musk’s space technology company SpaceX of refusing to hire certain immigrants.

Another person who doesn’t like that I told someone that Hakeem Jeffries didn’t make him get arrested. 😂

Wow, people don’t like it when you say Hakeem Jeffries didn’t make you get arrested.

Oh I’m so sorry I don’t pass the purity test. 🙄

You’ll never believe what this was in response to. 😂 Lord, they’re so fucking weird.

For all the USPS's faults, Americans have to realize: It's one of the best postal services in the world, even after being kneecapped by DeJoy. Fight for our postal service, guys. I know I will. It is an essential public good.

People correct you and this is how you choose to respond? No one made you get arrested. 🙄 Especially not the Black guy. You made those choices yourself.
