Sometimes I don’t make my bed. Ask Mercury, Coco, and Spaghetti the Cat why, and they will say “Meow.”
I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

Did you know that strawberries are not berries, and are actually mammals?

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.”
“No,” her husband said.
I urge you to read this today.
The same Republicans that gave Trump $200 million to renovate the Kennedy Center in the Big, Ugly Bill said it was too expensive to extend the ACA tax credits.
Apparently, there's an unlimited budget for Trump vanity projects and zero dollars for your health care.
Bad Bunny thanked his mom
for having him in Puerto Rico, told the people on the island there's nothing they can't do, and dedicated his award to all Latinos and to immigrants who keep pushing forward with a lot of strength.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.
getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys
At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.
Keep calling: (202) 224-3121
ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten...
#RIP_Alex 💔
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence
"I'm not even mad at you dude"
"Are you okay?
The language of modern day terrorists, apparently.
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
We should be angrier.
I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
My extremely elegant son. He's legit just sitting like this, staring blankly, like he forgot what he was doing.
My sweet stupid son.
Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?
Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?
They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.
They lie like they breathe.
If this is what ICE is doing openly in broad daylight, what are they doing in the detention centers? Why are WE allowing any part of this.
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.
the hardest thing about the last 5 years has been balancing my raging anxiety and tendency to catatrophize, with the fact that I am nearly always right to do so. like, my hit rate is 9.5/10. I cannot talk myself down when my predictions are correct!
