I try to live my life so Donald Trump will never congratulate me. Especially after I licked his boots when he was racist & called me Palestinian like that's inherently a bad thing. I may not have much to my name, but unlike Schumer, Donald Trump does not congratulate me for advancing his agenda.
Morrison writes motherhood like no one else: she was frightened by the thought of having a baby once more. Needing to be good enough, alert enough, strong enough, that caring—again. Having to stay alive just that much longer. O Lord, she thought, deliver me. Unless carefree, motherlove was a killer
How Trump's administration gone dismantle the department of education then say, but we'll still be making everybody pay those loans back & we're not even taking your income into consideration! That's the part of the department we're gonna make sure sticks around. A shell of the department.
Everyone is getting exactly what the coted for and what they planned for and paid for And will keep getting @schumer.senate.gov and Gillebrand SHOULD come home to New York to the same crowds Jeffries has been dealing with but won’t and everyone will pretend it’s “different”
I know there are a million more important things happening in the world. But I've had this line stuck in my head for more than 24 hours - & even though it's from one of the greatest story songs of ALL time - it's a little too haunting to have it on repeat! "Harry.... keep the change!" 🤣😭 #IYKYK

There are still too many Dems who are trying to govern like the GOP is going to act in good faith & that institutions havent collapsed.
I suspect the sight of a young Palestinian protester being chided for resisting arrest, then kidnapped into an unmarked car by plainclothes goons who didn’t produce a warrant, portends something sinister: vigilantes (ie white guys w no badge, warrant or govt car) disappearing more dissidents

NEW from Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Noor: “This felt like a kidnapping because it was: Officers in plainclothes — who refused to show us a warrant, speak with our attorney, or even tell us their names — forced my husband into an unmarked car and took him” Says they didn’t know where he was for 38 hours

I finally watched "Conspiracy" on HBO Max. It's awful. So well done! But awful. I hope they all choke on their BAFTAs, and slip and impale themselves on their Golden Globes. Normal people with hideous views. The US version is "I'm a normal person! I just want to evacuate 11 million undocumented.
At a Soccer Showcase out of state just thinking about how insulting it is to think that these girls, who range in size & strength, are weak daffodils that ✌🏽need 2b protected✌🏽from other teen athletes their own age.
