Love pop music if you like it! My unofficial motto is β€œhating pop music doesn’t make you smart.” I’m 35 and love the new Sabrina album. It’s fun and it’s upbeat for when I’m like trying to get stuff done around the house. Also you can’t say this without saying which song it is that you like… πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚

Not Brandi Kruse! Ew. There’s something uniquely awful about seeing everyone from the Pacific Northwest who sucks at the White House at once. I wish all of our most embarrassing citizens could stay in the β€œother Washington” so we never have to hear from them again. πŸ˜­πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚

Thanks for sharing this. I wasn’t aware of this until your posts and it makes me a little misty eyed in appreciation for the Pope. It’s nice to see an American who β€œgets it” about immigrants, especially in such a prominent position.

Sorry to report Millie but I think a good majority of them like it. They want poor and disabled people to die, their behavior makes no sense otherwise. Messing up health insurance both ACA and Medicaid, measles, usda messing up food banks, etc. RFK jr does not care about health he’s a eugenicist.

Never heard a β€œyou should quit your jobs” as a verse in this song. Like a tree that’s standing by the water…you should quit your jobs!!

If you are interested there’s a really great book (best one I’ve read in years fr) called β€œThe Barn” that talks about Till and his murder. Also the history and culture of the surrounding area. I’m a history major who focused on the south and I lived in Chicago, and there was so much I didn’t know.

LMAOOO I saved that list to look at later (I’m a music hoarder and use lists like this to find stuff I’m missing or forgotten about for my collection) anyway I’m going to go judge the shit out of it and come back here to read this article

More Than 400 People Have Faced β€œPregnancy-Related Crimes” Since Dobbs β€” Report The report from Pregnancy Justice warns that their numbers are likely an undercount.

A new report finds that hundreds of people have been charged with so-called β€œpregnancy-related crimes” in the two years following the Supreme Court’s overturn of abortion protections in the U.S.

"As you prepare your breakfast, think of others
   (do not forget the pigeon’s food).
As you conduct your wars, think of others
   (do not forget those who seek peace).
As you pay your water bill, think of others
   (those who are nursed by clouds).
As you return home, to your home, think of others
   (do not forget the people of the camps).
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others
   (those who have nowhere to sleep).
As you liberate yourself in metaphor, think of others
   (those who have lost the right to speak).
As you think of others far away, think of yourself
   (say: β€œIf only I were a candle in the dark”)."
