I don't give a f#ck about rich celebrities and their latest status acquisitions.
I care about regular folk, who live their lives out with dignity and zero fanfare, in often trying times.
Those who possess little but would give you the clothes off their back, if you needed them.
They're my heroes.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

FYI: Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship and Border Safety. "Oversight of the immigration functions of the Department of Homeland Security" is literally the definition of his jurisdiction.

Patty Murray for Senate Minority Leader
This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

I cannot stop watching this clip of a uniformed officer raising a weapon and firing directly towards reporter Lauren Tomasi and crew live on the air. I don’t give a shit if it’s a non-lethal projectile or not; JOURNALISTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THEIR JOBS IN SAFETY.

Please can anyone give me advice on how to leave the country? I am graduating with a Bachelor’s in History in December and I know that isn’t a degree or skill many countries are looking for but I just want my son to live somewhere where he will be safe and have better opportunities.
