Turns out, history books are way better if you read them from a safe distance.

Living inside one is not for the faint of heart.

Has anyone asked Justice Kennedy if his retirement had anything to do with his son's possible involvement in Deutsche Bank's reports about hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions with Jeffrey Epstein?

Propaganda Barbie, Karoline Leavitt, said, "Canada has been difficult to deal with" on matters of trade.

I wonder why.

You Are Sane

If you are terrified, you are SANE.
If you are crying, you are SANE.
If you are anxious, you are SANE.
If you are traumatized, you are SANE.
If you are grieving, you are SANE.
If you are depressed, you are SANE.

What’s happening is INSANE.

But YOU ARE SANE.
You are sane.

Former Cincinnati Children's chaplain detained by ICE Ayman Soliman was arrested after an ICE check-in, supporters say in advance of press conference.

Ayman Soliman was granted asylum in the United States and has spent years serving children and their families as the only Muslim chaplain at one of the best children’s hospitals in America.

My personal experience is that there are far more kind, fun, creative and compassionate people than jerk faces. It's not easy to remember every day but I believe it's true 🌺

The year is 2030. The Onion is the most respected and accurate news source. Fox News broadcasts exclusively in nursery rhyme format.

Somewhere, deep in a bunker, a journalist whispers, “It wasn’t always like this…”

if you’re given to despair in exceedingly dark times, i get it. let’s challenge each other to spend a few minutes a day imagining attainable possibilities. things that are within our control to accomplish, great and small.
