@MuhaFACSOW @GlennonDoyle Really feel like we need both Abby and Glennon. Abby can handle The Soccer and Glennon can deal with the feels.

Because clearly it still needs to be said: Student loan forgiveness is not about irresponsible people taking out education loans and then not paying. These are compounding interest loans: borrowers are struggling because they pay many times OVER what they borrowed and still owe!

Russia's deliberate destruction of the Ukrainian publishing industry is part of a larger campaign to eliminate a whole culture.

5 days ago Georgia Cops told Brianna Grier's family she died b/c she "kicked open the door to a moving police car & fell out."

Now body cam footage shows deputies left the door open, left her w/o a seat belt, drove away, & tried to cover up her murder.

People who think Emmett Till was ancient history should be reminded that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who falsely accused him is still alive.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Tried to visit the gun store that sold weapons to the Uvalde gunman. Was stopped in parking lot by management. It’s open but I’m not allowed in. Asked why… “You have a notepad… and an accent.”

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Russia is permanently banning nearly 1,000 Americans, including President Biden and Vice President Harris, from entering the country.

One prominent name missing from the list: former president Donald Trump. https://t.co/QUOXze8G7N

"People disagree, often vehemently, over what constitutes fascism. But today’s Russia meets most of the criteria that scholars tend to apply. 1/3

Questions for the people who are scared of becoming a minority: Why is that? Are minorities treated differently?
