That makes the platform the future of social media

Most Looney Tunes characters are effectively indestructible but I don’t think that’s true for Pepe Le Pew. I bet if you ran him over with a car he’d just die.

It's officially (almost) my favorite time of year — tulip season 🌷

Dear the rest of the world: You should absolutely not see the US as reliable for anything at this point, shit, none of us on the inside think we're reliable for anything right now either, you're definitely not alone

End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

A tweet from user "Alisa the Writer". The tweet reads: "All of these 'lets stop hating each other' commercials are fucking annoying when the source of the hatred and division is sitting in the stadium with his bronzer and 34 convictions watching the game like he's not awful."

Hear, hear!

This is so sad. They were told and promised one thing and of course he's done the complete opposite. When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them.

I need to let go of those surface-level individuals, but its just so maddening. Every day I wake up worried about who else will be in danger of this disgusting man's actions and lack of empathy for others. Hate to say it, but I hope those who voted for him experience some kind of karma.

Open your eyes and look at how many people are losing rights in this country. The selfishness is truly disgusting. I will not continue to tolerate or encourage that behavior. 2/2
