They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Seems to be the pattern…

Also, please stop dropping the weights. If you can’t put them down safely, they’re too heavy for you. You’re going to hurt someone (and it’s fucking annoying)

I’m a recipe developer/cookbook author—we all struggle with timing sometimes! One thing I find helpful is taking a beat before I start cooking anything and kind of mapping out a game plan. Just like reading a recipe all the way thru before cooking (pls do this!), taking a sec to visualize helps

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

BIG love and respect to Minneapolis from Brooklyn, NY. And fuuuuuck ICE

Ok you seem fantastic and we DEFINITELY need a Beth convention 💜

Love that show! I hated the parents. Watched it again recently, now mom to a teenage daughter and… I still hate the parents. They’re the worst!

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

It’s so cute that you think that!

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

Trump delivered his State of the Union in the very chamber his MAGA extremists attacked on January 6 to help him overturn an election. And corporate media barely bothered to say it out loud. That erasure — that quiet smoothing-over — is exactly how authoritarianism gets normalized.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."

Do not seek comfort. Seek knowledge. Seek growth. Seek honesty.

These are painful. They require us to see ourselves as we are, not as we wish to be. But we cannot become the people we wish to be without facing the work and struggle needed to transform and evolve. Pain is the awareness of life.

I came here to say this! 💜

Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity.

We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the State of the Union:

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

Hey so if CBS airs the state of the union, don’t they have to offer equal time to his opponents? Can we bank that time and save it for later?

100% not watching. Fuck that guy. I’d rather do literally anything else. Narcissists crave attention and 🍊will not get mine

I am so, so sorry you have to deal with that. People can be so hateful, I will truly never understand it. I hope you do get to another place that is welcoming. I can tell you that here in NYC, I know many trans people and it’s just part of life here (in the best way). Meantime, stay safe 🏳️‍⚧️💜

FWIW, the government doesn’t represent many of us, who value and love you exactly as you are and only want you to be able to enjoy your life freely and openly 💜

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

We don’t say this enough as NYers, but I wanna give a special shoutout to all the bodegas that refuse to close during blizzards, holidays, terror attacks, heat waves, floods, riots, pandemics, the return of the lord… I don’t care who the mayor is, I have NEVER waited on a grocery line for emergency supplies during a disaster in this city, cause I kno papi or ahk always got toilet paper, and noodles, and haagen daz right on the corner… and that shits miraculous 🙏

NYC pride 💪🗽

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
