fell down a rabbit hole of looking to see if Trump was a southpaw (he's not) and realized, at the ripe age of 42, that when I was told all those years ago that I lacked motor skills that PERHAPS IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I WAS LIVING IN A WORLD NOT MEANT FOR SOUTHPAWS

Caretaking your elderly parent can be a real fucking bitch but sometimes you just gotta surrender to the messiness or else you'll get pulled under, too.

Most hospice workers are angels on earth, BUT there is hospice firm called Amedisys, owned by United Healthcare, and you should NOT put your loved ones in their care. That's all I'm going to say for now. They are incompetent charlatans. Choose someone else.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

This is Los Angeles. It’s 503 sq miles. Home to 4 million people. The small red dot is roughly where peaceful protests (and nocturnal lawlessness) have been happening. The rest of the city is calm. LA doesn’t need to be “saved” or “liberated” by soldiers. Our community is in danger. The city is not.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥
If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

Donald Trump has just blocked Harvard University from admitting and enrolling international students, terminating Harvard’s student visa program.
How is this effing legal?!
This most certainly will not make America great.
Peak brain drain.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.
ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

This is what really worries me: If I'm not shopping, nobody is shopping. And I'm not buying shit right now.

Cory Booker is getting emotional talking about the sacrifices Americans have made for their country, including his colleague Tammy Duckworth. And he's still going strong!
