My Suburban Lifestyle Dream has block parties where my neighbors from all different ethnicities bring their bomb-ass food, originating from shithole countries, and everyone dances to a dope, international Spotify playlist, while I make chai in a white apron.

Yes they do.

"Trump admin is detaining immigrant children as young as 1 in hotels, sometimes for weeks, before deporting them"

President Trump is using #COVID19 as a guise to rapidly expel children seeking asylum. It's unacceptable.

@HispanicCaucus is investigating.

This superb bird photo from @danilic looks like musical notation. So I tried to play it on the piano. Thanks to @edbrannigan @oikealceCold for the idea. @BBCRadio3 @bbcarts @BBCNews

Dr. Fauci, chief advisor to the president on Covid-19, says he hasn’t briefed the president in two months and isn’t being allowed on TV because of his warnings about the pandemic are so dire. Just think about that.

[Lisa J. Arensen @ArensenJ]

@RLSWrites She’s so articulate.

[Charles M. Blow @CharlesMBlow]

Trump doesn’t read his briefing books. Trump doesn’t read. So, when an issue explodes, he denies being briefed about it. He didn’t read his homework, and no intelligence officer read it out loud to him. This man is a joke. A very dangerous joke.

An 18 y/o black woman was SET ON FIRE yesterday by 4 WHITE MEN who approached her car at a stoplight screaming racial slurs at her before throwing lighter fluid and a match in her face.

She suffers from THIRD DEGREE BURNS to her body.

Finally some good news, scientists discovered a treatment that can reduce COVID19 transmission by 70%, and its just a piece a cloth you wear in front of your dumb fucking face

Trump: When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people. You’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people slow the testing down please.
