This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

This seems to be the most popular version of what's going to happen regarding the release of the files after the House votes.
MAGA Republicans will do whatever it takes to protect their twisted orange overlord.
Americans deserve to know who’s in the TRUMP-EPSTEIN files, but will we find out?

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Here's the phone call I just made. It doesn't have to be perfect - you just have to do it. AND: If you show me a screenshot of your call history showing you made the phone call, I'll tell you one (1) embarrassing fact about myself over DM. It's a really good one. It honestly makes me un-dateable. 🪂

no job is worth this humiliation. how disgusting.
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.

this made my morning. I expect it will be the best thing I see all day.
This is masculinity too
I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity.
It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.
