RIP writer Toni Morrison, died this day 2019.

“At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint, or even remember it. It is enough.”
“You are your best thing”

A capitalist telling a worker: I got rich through hard work
The worker replies: who's though
The capitalist class converts your life-time into leisure-time for themselves. Time to get organized, comrades.

The Actual Conspiracy Theory Surrounding Trump and Epstein
It’s not what you think it is.

I love making tortilla crust quiches so much! Spray a glass pie plate. Press a tortilla into the plate. Preheat oven to 375°. In a bowl, mix 4 or 5 eggs, a 1/2 cup cottage cheese. Chop any vegetables you want and put on the tortilla. Today, I used spinach and sweet peppers.

The price has gone up, Donald. We're not going to settle for the Epstein files. We need the Maxwell files, too. The world needs to know what a monster you're seeking a favor from.

We must say, ‘No’
No. Those are not ‘legitimate concerns’
No. There is NO excuse for terrorising asylum seekers. NONE.
It is racism and thuggery.
A loss of self control and decency. And any politician justifying it instead of calling it out in the strongest terms, is complicit in the moral collapse.

Welp, I wrote a letter to CBS: 🧵
"What you have done to Stephen Colbert is shocking &, frankly, pitiful. You have capitulated to a bully... PEDOPHILIC Bully, no less. And for what?? Why??
Stephen Colbert did nothing wrong! What he had stated about your pathetic settlement is TRUE.

Kind of think that we should be referring not to the "Epstein files" which sound small and containable, but the "Epstein cover up" which sounds limitless and out of control.

The U.S. Supreme Court is a completely lawless body that has shredded the Constitution in order to empower a dictator.
We're well beyond "how do we fix this." We're in "we need to figure out how to one day establish The Second United States Republic because the original one is defunct" territory.

Celebrating our country’s independence from a monarchy given the state of things feels wrong. Like getting a Facebook birthday notification for a friend who’s dead.

The correct number of people who should are denied health care is zero, which is also the same number of people who ought to be held in cages.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Most things that people with power tell you are "unrealistic" are in fact not. What they actually are is counter to THEIR INTERESTS. You shouldn't swallow their propaganda. It's silly.

Trumpism is bad, he doesn’t want to end foreign wars and he’s not gonna make things cheaper. Democrats, this is your moment to narrate what’s happening.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Anyway the great news is that women’s lives are human lives, endowed with the full spectrum of capacities and possibilities, and that even if you were born with a uterus you do not in fact have to have a baby.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

If you look at what got us to Trump it’s pretty clearly all the money that took over our democracy.
Big Corps, billionaires, foreign nations bankroll candidate through PACs/dark money to the point where Gov is 100% controlled by it.
Stop the money and stop the fascism.
