NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

Why do white folks come to Black people expecting we feel sorry for them because they have a hard time getting right on race? We don't have time for your little feelings, we're busy surviving antiblackness, & how dare you think we need to stop to prioritize your frailty.

Star Wars actor says ‘trans rights are human rights’ when asked about Harry Potter Kelly Marie Tran said ‘trans rights are human rights’ when the topic of JK Rowling's Harry Potter series was mentioned in an interview.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

In the last 3 wks you all knocked another 3% off this campaign. Which means there's only $5126 to close it out.

And I for one am extremely grateful.

No one hates your boundaries more than someone who chose not to defend their own.
