It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year.

That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food.

Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

As my friend @taylorswift13 so eloquently stated, now is the time to research and choose the candidate that speaks to you and your beliefs. Only 54 days left until the election. Make sure you are registered to vote! Your vote in this election may be one of the most important things you ever do. https://t.co/mdCnOFRxRr

Donald Trump said he, “probably took a bullet to the head…” No, that was my daughter - in her fourth grade classroom. End gun violence NOW #lexirubio #uvalde

Exonerated “Central Park Five” member Yusef Salaam has won a seat on the New York City Council, more than three decades after he was wrongfully accused and convicted as a teenager in the rape case. https://t.co/EqpDiInJWs

Dear Republicans,

No one is teaching your kindergartener “CRT”.
No one is telling them to be ashamed of their whiteness or “grooming” them to be gay or transgender.
And no one is encouraging them to identify as furries.
People are lying to you.
In order to scare you.

The end.

I want the Eagles to win the Super Bowl only because I think it would make for a very great Abbott Elementary episode

“Don’t ask friends for help moving as an adult” “don’t ask friends to do a potluck as an adult” you can literally ask me to hold your hand at the dentist and I will do it

MLK Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that another name for “Critical Race Theory” is “Actual American History”.

[Sense & Edibility @EdibleSense]

Just a reminder: charcuterie means prepared meats from a butcher or cured meats.
Your veggie tray is crudité. Your dessert tray is a grazing board or whatever. Your cheeseboard is a cheeseboard.
Thank you for your attention.

I once heard someone say that bullies who find religion often become just become bullies who think God is on their side, and I regularly think about how true that is.

🧵We've pulled together some of the false claims about crime and incarceration you're most likely to hear at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and the data and facts to help you push back:

May we begin our thanksgiving meals by first acknowledging the indigenous land upon which it is being served.

[Dickie Bush @dickiebush]

This morning I sat down for an overdue coffee and breakfast with my mom.

Together we brainstormed a list of great questions to ask family during Thanksgiving dinner (that have nothing to do with politics, religion, or crypto).

Here are the 9 best questions we came up with:

[sensory homunculette @myfriendcallie]

Am i going crazy why isn’t she wearing pants

[sammy rhodes @sammyrhodes]

maybe it was a bad idea to have megapastors

nothing like packing up a whole apartment to make you never want to own an earthly possession ever again

Someone you love has a ton of college debt because our system kinda sucks and they can read your posts about how stupid you think they are for taking the loans
