For the rest of his career, Will Smithβs Oscar win will be associated with this moment. That he wasnβt escorted out by security, is a reminder of two Americaβs. That if you are rich & famous, rules are different. That he sat back in his seat proves that Will also knows thatβ¦
So, you want us to believe that a school, which a normal day is about 7 hrs, released a minor to a stranger, didnβt notify the parents that they disappeared midway through and mysteriously reappeared?

The investigation revealed that Planned Parenthood removes minors from school using altered doctorsβ notes, transports them into Kansas for abortions, and then quickly returns themβall to avoid the legal requirement to obtain parental consent.

Yes, Fani killed it on the stand today but something stood out to me that I think needs more attention. Before she went into the amounts of cash she keeps on hand, at home etc. She said that after her divorce in 2011 or 2012, that she began keeping money at home. As a survivor ofβ¦
Joel Osteen had $600K in the walls of his house, and nobody asked where it came from. Sen. Melendez had nearly half a million stashed in his home, plus gold bars, and his assertion that it came from personal savings because of confiscation practices in Castroβs Cuba was A-OK. Butβ¦
This is Eddie. About half hour ago I was leaving my friendβs office downtown and Eddie was on the corner. His back was turned and I grabbed a $10 to give him. When he turned around I saw this beautiful portrait. Eddieβs an artist. He loves to work with acrylics. He said βThe VA
What happened to Nex Benedict is going to haunt me. That they were non-binary shouldnβt even be an issue. A child was killed by hateful individuals at their school, and they were left to suffer unattended because they were failed by the adults who were in a position to do better,β¦

I cried a lot today. Not just for Floyd. But for Arbery, Breonna, Elijah McClain, Tamir Rice. I cried for my brown skinned son who has to live in a world I thought would be better for him by now. I cried for the hope I no longer have. I cried for justice denied and hope lost...
Iβm not a gossiper, but I have to be honest. When Gaetzgreene were trotting around the country on their White Supremacist tour last year, I thought to myself βthey fuckingβ. Watching Greeneβs praise of Gaetz for βdefendingβ her, Iβm about 99.99% convinced, I was rightβ¦

Iβve been reflecting on the Tyler Boebert situation and his recent arrest. Itβs easy to throw shade because his mother and father are trash, but thatβs the very reason we should give him grace.

Something unexpected happened right now. The pre-birthers had their signs out and I couldnβt take it. Drove to the clinic to confront them about what theyβre doing for living and breathing kids. What theyβre doing for the women and girls faced with life changing decisions
Two years ago today, I took Tori to freshman orientation at NMSU. When we passed Clara Belle Williams Hall I got excited. Tori hadnβt heard of her. Clara Belle was the first African-American to graduate from NMSU in 1937. She wasnβt allowed in the classrooms so she sat in theβ¦
A House without a Speaker, military branches without leaders, a felon at the top of the Republican ticket for POTUS. How tf did we get to this place of mind boggling and soul crushing insanity ?
I went to Sonic yesterday. The girl who came out was flustered. She brought the wrong drink. I was ok with it, but she took them back and dropped the cups. I could see the tears in her eyes. I told her: take a breath. Itβs OK. Look at me. Youβre doing great job. Youβre doing fine

I am about 5 miles from NM/MX border and about 8 from TX/MX border. I have never seen a caravan, witnessed a storming of our Ports of Entry. Yet, those living on the border go along with the border crisis narrative when they know for a fact itβs not a thing. Itβs mind boggling π

Gas here was $3.49/6 mos ago. Today $4.19. $.70 increase. Costs me an extra $14 to fill. 2x a week = $28 or $112 mo.
