I don't know what is going to happen. But I would recommend not getting your hopes up about Texas. I speak from experience.

Kapwa Earlier today, we were talking about how there is a problem in Filipino culture about silence.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect

Good grief. Everyone knows they were just friends.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Karoline Leavitt: “We’re moving on from Epstein.” The Internet: “The fuck you are.”

Anti-Imperialism I have a confession to make.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

watching clips from the hearing today and if the United States does not find justice for the Epstein victims and perpetrators then God will, and He will hold the United States guilty as an accomplice

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

Nazi concentration camp prisoner population by year

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

the statue of liberty has a puerto rico flag draped over it 's head ALT: the statue of liberty has a puerto rico flag draped over it 's head

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there was a time when it was illegal for Puerto Ricans to speak Spanish or wave the bandera. People were jailed and killed for it. So seeing the Puerto Rican flag at the Super Bowl isn’t just pride, it’s history, survival, & resistance. #Pinks #Momsky

It’s hard to argue with this plain-spoken and heart-felt truth from Sheryl Crow.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Can you tell I'm angry.

I am so angry.

Epstein victims have been speaking to law enforcement for 30 years, and the only person in prison for the rape, torture, and victimization of children for 30 years is a woman.

DOJ failed for 30 years.

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.”

If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

🧵This is what our tax dollars are going towards.

Not education, health care, or public transport.

Cages for people.

DHS just paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, AZ.

The week before, $102 million for one in Maryland.

A third in El Paso.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
