The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.

I love dogs but your inability to understand the difference between personal taste & morality is making you miss the point. The point is: He didn't give a shit about her wants, needs, or *literal allergies*. He went behind her back to add a huge responsibility to their lives that she did not want.

And what we go through is *nothing* compared to the racism Black Americans face. I can't believe anyone in any marginalized community voted for the fash. But there always are some who think they'll be the exception.

And still 24% of Black men who voted in 2024 voted for Trump. It boggles my mind that in my own community, 87% of Jewish women voted for Kamala but only like 73% of Jewish men did. MAGA hates us when they're not fetishizing us as their key to the rapture. And yet. Blew my mind

My friend Christopher, risking his life in Ukraine to help as many people as possible survive Putin's genocide, has a message for President Trump. Let's make sure he hears it. #ukraine #slavaukraini #trump #potus

We definitely teach it in California. It's a huge pain in the ass bc they expect you to teach it with no training, no support, and no added time *on top of* the subject you're required to teach with a huge, expensive amount of training, no resources, and very little uninterrupted time

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

First of all, he'll be dead by 2028-- he's almost 80 and he exists on a diet of rage and Big Macs-- and secondly, if he wants to run against Obama, he can be my guest

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like β€œoh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I think that's a silly boundary to have and yet I have no problem following it bc those baby relatives are NOT MY BABY. I wish you could see how cute the newest baby is omgggggg. But it's not my call to make. Entitled people suck

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

Have a weekend

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayalβ€”not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧡

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%...

"That's just how it is."

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

The rate of recidivism for incarcerated women who participate in prison theatre programs is far lower than the general formerly incarcerated population. It's powerful stuff. My favorite was The Medea Project. I wept during those shows. But so many companies doing great work w incarcerated ppl

#1 would get money to more people but #2 would be a larger impact for one person. There are also numerous intangible benefits to theatre for participants and the neurology is just getting started describing the benefits to attendees. I would choose #1 because it has the greater overall impact.

I used to do more laundry before we moved and the washer and dryer and less accessible for my #disabilitylyf

We really need to get back to cooking. I've been in a high pain/low spoons streak and he's been getting home from work around 8 so it's been a challenge
