And I AGREE

If the Alabama Democrats hadn't been fighting among themselves about who got to go to the DNC, this could have been taken care of weeks ago. 5.

Also guilty. I love to call out a 4:30 wake up time

I’m sorry to all of the comedians but Four Seasons Total Landscaping is still the funniest thing that has ever happened.

I’m still not over this beautiful moment of sisterhood and sportsmanship! You can just feel the love shining through these ladies. Congrats Rebeca, Jordan and Simone! ✨

If everyone started calling him “coach” right now, it would drive Tommy Tuberville insane.

Thank God. They’ve seen the light. Go rest. We’ve got it from here.

Ps. County, state, and federal leaders of decrepit status. Pls take note.

One of the most consequential decisions by a Supreme Court justice in US history. Ginsburg was 81 and had already battled cancer; Obama was president at this time and Democrats had 55 Senate seats. End result: she was replaced by Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett.

Always remember that even good changes can make us feel anxious or depressed. That doesn't mean that it wasn't the right choice.

Police don’t prevent crime, and historically, non-violent protests only turn violent *after* police show up

Police protect property and capital,
not people

[Jessica Forbus @ForbusJessica]

BPD doesn’t need help being notified of crime. They’re well aware of the activity. This does nothing to help response time or actual resolution 🤭

Update: One of the American doctors trapped in Gaza by Israel's siege is Adam Hamaway, an Army veteran who famously saved the life of @SenDuckworth after her helicopter crash in Iraq

Meanwhile women will say “if you like it I love it” and that’ll be that

It's strange to be Israel: You violate a mountain of UN resolutions, condemn the UN at every turn, bomb UN schools & shelters, murder UN employees, & then you demand a UN meeting over another country responding to your bombing of their consulate 🤯

Vote uncommitted & also revolt

Only $10K?! Wow we’re playing ourselves.

We should demand an open bidding process so constituents at least have the option to purchase the loyalty of their state reps even if buying offices at the federal level requires billionaire owner money
