This is an important point.

Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

This is why I love Chicago so much. Their “we will fuck with you” reserves are BOTTOMLESS.

Ok first thing I’m going to tell y’all specifically because it won’t be in the broadcast, he played her music between every segment. And we all got to sing and dance, and she was bopping with us. 13/10 core memory. taypookie you are so beloved 🥺

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) — Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family’s food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food. On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.” That, Taher says, “is a lie.” “I lost my son because of the funding cuts,” he says. “And it is not only me — many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment.”

“Two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress & declared: ‘No one has died’ because of his govt’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: ‘No children are dying on my watch.’

That, Taher says, ‘is a lie.’” tinyurl.com/zfxe4v2v

Freida Parton “I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”

Freida Parton says she did not mean to scare anyone when asking for prayers for her older sister, Dolly:

I don’t want to be cured.
I want to be understood.
The difference is everything.

Really glad none of the people calling American cities “war zones” were with us in Afghanistan. Would’ve become tiresome constantly hosing them down after they soiled themselves.

my first thought when I woke up today was "I can't wait to listen to Showgirl again"

There it is

a woman in a red dress is dancing with another woman in a white dress Alt: Taylor swift is wearing a sparkly red dress and is dancing with a woman in a white dress

But my mama told me, it's alright you were dancing through the lightning strikes, sleepless in the onyx night but now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, my Lord never made no one like you bеfore you had to make your own sunshine. But now, thе sky is opalite ❤️‍🔥

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

"people who didn't know they had insurance" like it's some random apple subscription for $2.99/month that you're too tired to investigate

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people."

Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

Huh? The exchanges? I'm self-employed. I've been taking care of my family for 23 years. The exchange is the only f'ing option I have. The only conclusion I can reach is these folks are so out of touch they've never had to handle things like getting their own insurance.

They’re sending troops into blue cities, not because there is violence, but because they’re hoping for violence.

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

So say it, Hegseth.

President Truman desegregated the military in 1948. That would be when the “wokeness” began, huh?

Say it.
