Lemon-Turmeric Crinkle Cookies Recipe
Delivering warmth from turmeric and brightness from lemon zest, these golden crinkled cookies feel (and look) like sunbeams breaking through clouds Imagine powdered doughnuts run through with Fruit Loops cereal milk on a Saturday morning In fact, these soft, crisp-edged cookies are lovely for breakfast, but don’t restrict their bright, sunny disposition to a specific time of day: Pair them with a glass of milk or cup of herbal tea, whether as an afternoon pick-me-up or a not-too-sweet finish to any meal.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

A key point from this interview: the "benefit" of tariffs, if it exists, is delayed. You don't flip a switch and get a plant tomorrow. You wait years. It also follows that a tariff you don’t trust to outlast a mood swing won’t change where companies build at all.

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).

If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water

Lots of options!

Not to minimize what it took to get there, but not only were the charges against Marimar Martinez (shot by CBP in Chicago) dropped, but they're keeping her car to investigate the goons in the incident.
This is the pattern: ICE/CBP initiate violence toward observers and protestors, then they claim they were assaulted in order to use the threat of prison to silence dissent.

Russia laundering its Ukraine "wish list" through Axios and getting the Trump regime to claim it as a "U.S. peace plan" should have been on all of our bingo cards.

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.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

An unearthed video shows Former Defense Secretary Esper saying #Shit4Brains wanted to shoot protesters. “Can’t you just shoot them?” This is why our military needs the reminder about unlawful orders.

Share this widely.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.
