What’s not mentioned in this article is that he spent his last months selling Dawson’s Creek and Varsity Blues paraphernalia to pay for his cancer treatment. If a famous star can be financially destroyed from a cancer diagnosis then what luck do the rest of us have. We need Medicare For All 💔

Killing millions of dogs to prepare for a global sporting event is not progress, it’s a moral failure. The World Cup should unite the world, not be built on suffering. Humane solutions exist. Choosing compassion over violence is a responsibility we all share.

Some of y’all have a seriously unhealthy relationship with sports. The comments I’ve seen towards Pats fans are unhinged at best.
I promise you Pats fans are not upset with losing the Super Bowl with a 2nd year 23 year old QB after going 4-13 the last two seasons. We’re just not.

Still thinking about the the “two” Super Bowl halftime shows. My final takeaway before I shut up about this is that there is so much value in the concept of joy as resistance. Conservatives will never win by being perpetually aggrieved losers. Be happy, love, and have fun where you can. We will win

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.
