If one Afghan nationalist shooter means all Afghan nationalists are evil, wait until I tell you about white male shooters.

This news makes me cautiously optimistic that accountability in the U.S. might eventually catch up to… well, you know who. wapo.st/3Xi9bis

The former Brazilian president will begin his sentence in a specially prepared cell at federal police headquarters in Brasília.

Nothing like a snowy walk to the bus stop to remind you that life is beautiful—
—right up until the exact moment your bus speeds past while you are still 100 metres away.
Next bus in 10 minutes. Character development arc continues.

I can never hear or see something about the extreme right Proud Boys without remembering that "proud boy" is a term for a gelding that doesn't realize it's been neutered and keeps acting like a stallion. So do with that info what you will. *sips coffee*

Hating Donald Trump isn't hating America, it is loving everything America strives to be.

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

In Cuba, abortion + contraceptives are free + legal, + millions of Cubans have participated in the rewriting of the Family Code legislation

In the US, a 9-person unelected, term limitless body can criminalize abortions with a single vote

Who's the undemocratic dictatorship?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but STOP TOSSING THE GREEN PARTS OF THE LEEK! They are full of flavor, nutritious, excellent for stocks & broths, add color and texture to your dish, full of good fiber, and using the entire veggie while simultaneously reducing waste is simply brilliant!

“…those are the kind of people who would have stuck up for us.”

Feels like how so many Jews would sound if we got a chance to sit down with Beinart, whose clarity on this is such a light for me.

Please share it with your friends who are starting to see what Netanyahu is up to through all the lies.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

🌈 Oh no… someone better tell the sky it’s being too political again!

Tonight’s rainbow over Berlin is just SO disrespectful to Frau Präsidentin Klöckner’s agenda.

Clearly, Mother Nature didn’t get the memo.
Or maybe… she did. 💅

Share those pics.
