She shouldn't have been moved. You know who else thinks she shouldn't have been moved? The inmates at the new jail. They'll make sure she knows this and Ghislaine will wish she hadn't sought a transfer. 🤷🏾‍♀️

He wanted someone else. Someone who, perhaps, wouldn't hold him accountable for staying sober or being a good dad. Period.

Bernie is not, nor has he ever been a Democrat. He refuses to join but caucuses with the Dems.

I tried watching the film with a friend and....I just couldn't care about what I saw. Kristen Stewart is too blank.

I cared enough about the people of gaza to vote for the nice Black lady who was pushing for a two state solution. I knew Trump would give Israel free rein and should never be allowed back in the presidency.

It’s a shame you didn’t. Now i am muting your stupid ass.

Why didn't they make similar demands of Trump who, incidentally made multiple pro-Israel anti-Muslim statements on the campaign trail.

When I was living in Spokane, Seattle blueswoman Duffy Bishop played Janis in a stage show & I was able to catch her at the Fort Spokane Brewery shortly after, still in character & costume & singing Joplin's songs.

I was too young for the real thing, but it was incredible. Truly did her justice.

😭💔
My condolences.

The Muslims in Michigan didn't care nearly enough about the Muslims in Gaza. It's real easy to justify doing stupid shit when soldiers aren't bombing *your* house.🙄

I've been saying this since November. Touching the hot stove is the only way some people will learn.

I never understood why VP Harris had to be "appealing" when a literal fascist was on the ballot. I wonder why so many self-professed antifascists keep letting the jackbooted thugs win?🤔

I watched the verdict being read live in the student union at Bama State with a bunch of other students. The cheers that erupted in the TV room were the polar opposite reaction to listening to the Rodney King verdict in the same room a few years prior.

Even met OJ once in the early 2000s.

a woman in a black dress is holding a cup of tea and says `` me patiently waiting for the tea '' . Alt: Angelica Houston, as Morticia Addams, raising a tea cup to her lips as she smirks. The text reads, "Patiently waiting for the tea."

You met OJ?

OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder #30yearsagotoday. Simpson stood accused of killing his ex-wife and one of her friends. Approximately 150 million people watched the verdict be read on live television.

That must have been rough. *hugs*

Nothing to fight about!😊 I just wish there was a Wendy's closer to me. I really miss those baked potatoes.

PSA:
Here’s who I don’t want to hear shit from about the Diddy verdict:

1. White Women- You prop up the white male patriarchy as much as possible. Spare me.

2. Black men who swear Diddy was railroaded. Up yours. You all want to be white men.

3. Anyone defending his ass.
Carry on

They were the bullies, too.

So they’re detaining Black people, handcuffed in vans while they check to see if the have warrants. These are American citizens. Being detained. Because they’re Black.

Fuck you forever if you didn’t vote for Harris.
