I feel for Jersey voters who don't have a good choice here. Ciattarelli is evil, and Sherrill is a terrible candidate. She's done zero outreach to the Black communities in Jersey.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Genuinely the most shocking realisation of my adult life is how dramatically those of us who enjoy thinking are outnumbered by those who find it wholly unpleasant and worth significant cost and effort to avoid.

If there is loose trash (like a dog bag or a coffee cup) in a can they sometimes leave it. The sanitation workers don't like handling loose dogs bags either!!

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
I canβt believe Iβm watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

A staircase from a 19th-century South Carolina enslaverβs house was preserved for its beauty β but is a powerful witness to the story of slave Harriet Jacobs, who wrote a narrative of her captivity.
Itβs the type of #history some hope to exclude from Americaβs museums.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. This man should not have been murdered. His children should still have a father. His wife should not have to tell people her trauma.
This government is committing war crimes.
