I went to a crystal shop and a random old woman approached me and said “you have a lot of energy wrapped around you.” And I said, “thanks I hope good energy?” And she said “I wouldn’t mess with it too much”

Magic story has always been great, but it’s incredible lately. We have *multiple* award winning authors putting their heart into writing for our world and characters.
“Hat sets” might be a thing, sure, but the amount of love and talent going into the mix here can’t be overstated.

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.
I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

AOC made an hour+ long, impassioned and well articulated video about the state of the country and the media globs onto one throw away comment she made about an idiot… proof it’s mostly controlled by the 1%.
