FACT 👇........

Former Kansas City Royals speedster Terrance Gore dies at age 34 Terrance Gore, one of the last major leaguers to make an impact solely with breathtaking speed died Feb. 6, after complications during surgery.

He retired without a single career home run, not even an RBI. Yet Terrance Gore's impact with the game will last forever. Truly one of the last of his kind on a #Royals team that seemed teleported from the 1980s, Gore passes away at 34.

RIP Terrance Gore. Wheels. One of only four players to have more stolen bases than plate appearances. You will be missed. Gone too soon.

The Coolest Person I'll Never Meet Rest in peace, Queen.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered twice by the Trump Administration.

First, it destroyed their bodies, then it assassinated their characters.

Decent Americans cannot stand for it.

Congress Must Act Now More constitutional outrage in Minnesota.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

-FDR, 1937

I'm well known for doing the Irish Hello, which is basically just staying home & skipping the party

“Hey Megyn Kelly, I'm Eloise & I'm 14y”

“kids my age aren't supposed to be the ones correcting you. We're not supposed to be the moral compass in a room full of adults who should have known better. But here we are“

”You're protecting the predator! & you shouldn't need a freshman to tell you that.”

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.
