What’s the best restaurant/bakery/food shop you’ve waited in line for in NYC that was worth it?

Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes & More Protest ICE With β€œBe Good” Pins At Golden Globes As the nation reels the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good, the stars at the Golden Globes used the red carpet to protest the government agency.

This weekend, nearly 1,200 communities across the country mobilized to protest ICE's violent raids that are putting all of us in danger. Now artists at the Golden Globes are saying it too: ICE has no place on our streets.

We must all act to demand an end to these out-of-control operations.

This SNAP benefits argument from the WH makes no sense. The whole reason for the shutdown is the budget. If they’re concerned they’ll run out of emergency funding, there’s an obvious way to fix that - in the new budget.

So my Instacart account was hacked and in order to unlock and cancel it they want more of my info. Why would I trust you with more of my info if they couldn’t keep my account secure? How does that make sense?

On this day in 1920, the Tennessee General Assembly provided the final vote to pass the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. Today, far-right Christian nationalist pastors want to repeal that right, in significant part because they do not like how women vote.

I’m thrilled about the outcome in WI but concerned that one of the takeaways is that Musk didn’t buy votes bc his candidate didn’t win. That’s definitely what it seemed like he was doing.
