In case people are wondering how I have so many posts here, I moved my Tweets over so I can get away from "over there." I've been there since 2006.
I remember where I was the first time I tasted one, even. It was slightly mind-altering.
I get sad when I see sun dried tomatoes on examples of cringe "dated" food trends because it's got to be one of the best tomato innovations in tomato history.

As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

In 1970, Charles M. Schulz introduced Franklin, the first Black character in Peanuts. Readers wrote letters of gratitude: “Thank you.” It was a milestone, a small sign of progress. Yet at the Thanksgiving table, Franklin sat alone. No one beside him.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I think we should all be inundating the guy with the messaging that he’s definitely going to suffer for eternity in hell because he seems to be preoccupied with what comes after death lately
Trump: "I want to be good because you want to prove to God so you go to that next step, right? So that's very important to me."

Let us never forget, how many of the political games the GOP played involved the loss of human lives. They’re still playing those games. People are still dying.

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I know it's an impossible dream but on this national day of mourning my fondest wish is that everyone from across the political spectrum will one day unite and come to the common sense conclusion that Charlie Kirk was a reprehensible piece of shit.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”
