I can’t do liquid liners really, but these are so easy and very beautiful.

You know how eye makeup often looks super sparkly in the pan and then it turns out to be an overspray or goes on patchy or has so much fallout you might as well use it as a highlighter? Not these.

Missouri Advances Three Anti-Trans Bathroom Ban Bills In One Night “This is a make-or-break moment with what just happened in Kansas.”

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.

They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.

Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.

That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao

Fascinating thread and I so appreciate the sideswipe at Disney Snow White’s voice which drove me up a wall even as a child.

Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | Opinion For the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

So it turns out Americans don’t love widespread cruelty.

50% of voters have now embraced "Abolish ICE," including a surprising 25% of Republicans. Keep pushing. All gas, no brakes.

Shout out to the Fox News hack who tried to intimidate me by contacting my employer and writing a (terrible) hit piece when I posted “Abolishing ICE is the moderate position” after Renee Good’s killing.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

My theory is that every single person he interviews thinks they will be the exception and it is exactly this mode of thinking that enables him to gut them like a fish.

In fact, I knew Texas was in serious trouble on the climate front when even Sid Miller started worrying about water levels.

“Ag Commissioner” sounds like some low level post but I assure you in Texas it is not. Think “in charge of water” and you’ll start to get the gist of it. Miller was a right behind Paxton in his right wing awfulness.

It’s time I confess: When I go to the gym, I refuse to wear any sea slugs that might be too revealing.

It is really hard to imagine Paxton dropping out unless there’s some kind of crime we don’t know about that Trump can make go away (entirely possible!).
