Words loved ones have spoken that affect my daily life:

1) That may be true. And it may not matter.
2) I know that's frustrating, but your attitude is frustrating.
3) You need to change your opinion on that.
4) Never put your guests on a diet.

@ybbaaabby I love Lisbon! I highly recommend dedicating a day to just wandering hills and admiring mosaics, breaking every few hours to drink vinho verde and eat seafood. A day trip to Sintra is also extremely worth it.

So this guy is sent to jail on a drug charge he acquired because he was taking fentanyl for severe pain, his 9-year-old Type 1 diabetic son goes into state custody, dies of ketoacidosis in two weeks.

Set it all on fire, really.

Black people were far more likely to be killed by police in 2022 than white people. Nearly 1 in 4 people that police killed in 2022 were Black, despite Black people making up only 13 percent of the U.S. population.

There’s no revelation here. The real problem is that everyone knew that those stories were fear-mongering lies, and yet local and national outlets parroted them, helping create an environment of fear to support backlash against progressive efforts and boost right-wing ideas.

It’s not right for NFL and it’s not right for Amazon. We can be better

In Missouri the new year started with it becoming a crime to sleep on state-owned land. That means streets, parks and beneath bridges and overpasses. You‘ll be fined $750 and face 15 days in jail. In other words poverty is criminalized in Missouri.

EXCLUSIVE: Arizona is inducing the labor of pregnant prisoners against their will — sometimes as early as three weeks before their due date. Health care experts call the policy unethical. Reproductive justice advocates say it's a human rights violation. https://t.co/x4qGhobO5g

Andrew Tate being so triggered by Greta Thunberg, after he initially taunted her, that he gave away his location and was arrested for human trafficking is exactly the downfall he deserves and exposes his whole violent misogynistic grift for what it really is.

said it yesterday, gonna say it again today:

ripping off a teacher's pension fund is Wall Street's current version of Goodfellas' "whenever we needed money, we'd rob the airport"

$1.7 billion transferred from Pennsylvania teachers to Wall Street firms since 2021👇
