it's impossible to overstate how much the presence of cops escalates a situation in which someone is confused and scared. most of these people didn't pick up a weapon until police entered their home and threatened them. often family members tried to shield them. they were usually dead in under 2 min
Gone. We want them abolished.
What? What?
Oh it's back??!! I love this show! Waiting for the new season has been agony.
Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war
this is what they said it would be like under socialism
Relevant to this soft-glam fascist's comments today, there's a bill in Florida to ban prescribing birth control to minors—or even giving teens information about it—without parental consent. It's called HB 173
The attacks on contraception are, and have been, in motion
It's so good to have hope!
I worked up a little newsletter piece about how basic writercraft is rapidly becoming a thing of the romance publishing past—and how it's a past I'm very glad I was a part of. I also touch on how fanfic ties in.

I had such a *massive* craving for one of these one day during my first pregnancy. Just one. My husband bought a bag, the first was heavenly, the second awful, because I'd only wanted one, and I haven't eaten them since. I do kind of crave them now and again though.
Beautiful, thank you. I will take the top one! The 85.
One ring circled in red, possibly a garnet.
Also this one please:
Two rings circled, possibly garnets?
These two are very pretty!
It's very odd to go back and forth between St Denis and The Pitt.
Oh, that's a great idea.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Ah, I started college the same year they did, so my friends and I made it our weekly date to keep watching. I still don't think I finished it, either. But yeah, I think that had gotten me past the desire to watch DC.
Oh, that one was so pretty!
I have wondered that too. I think because I was already watching 90210 at the time, and I'd decided I was only going to watch one teen drama. I'm not sure why though.
Just what we said. ???
I'm going to win.
The worst part for me was waiting to be taken into the procedure room and the nurses had coffee brought in, and they were taking about how good it was. 😭
The rest was fine. Go easy on that first meal though--your system might still be in purge mode. 🤦
I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/
Every conversation about Post layoffs that don’t focus on propaganda is completely missing the point and helping the propaganda.
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
I live where it's cold so I get sick of cold wet leaves very quickly. I love oven-roasting green veggies, like green beans, broccoli, or Brussels sprouts. If you look up some sheet pan meals you can find lots of options for adding proteins to this. You may need to skip the starches.
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.
I often bring my own tea with me when I travel and it's a little thing but it makes me feel very special, like I have a *thing.* Plus it guarantees I have good tea.
