This is America. It doesn’t have to be. We could actually fix it. We just have to love our neighbors more than we do our guns. As wild as it sounds, it really is that simple.
Kids were shot dead in church today in Minnesota but people will not get as worked up about it as a Cracker Barrel logo change.

Ratings have always been the justification. They’d have zero justification if everyone stopped freaking watching them. Facts. #TURNOFFFOXNEWS Also #ABANDONTWITTER Literally one and the same hashtags. Tuhmaytoe/tuhmahtoe Stop enabling fascists by supporting their platforms.

Alien: Earth’s first two episodes debut in a little over 30 minutes. Hopefully we’re getting something fantastic.

Demand the Epstein Files be made public NOW.
Epstein had the most dirt on Trump of everyone alive. The kind of dirt that gets a person knocked off. With Epstein now out of the way, it's Ghislaine Maxwell that holds that card. In case anyone is still wondering why she is flitting around, outside the prison like a summer intern.
