People use the word “vanilla” to mean boring or unadorned or unadventurous, but if you bake, you know that a little bit of vanilla in almost everything sweet adds the exact taste that you didn’t know was missing.
"Vanilla is in vanilla ice cream and what else?" is such a perfect encapsulation of the surly self-confidence of the people who are ripping the wires out of our government and our economy.

3.5% is all we need. 3.5% of the population being engaged and committed is the magic number to overthrow a dictator. And I'd bet that if 2% of us were *out protesting* yesterday, more of us are out there than that. Keep up the pressure.
West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Both Texas and Georgia are destroying evidence of all maternal mortality, blocking proof that women are dying from abortion bans.
This story has a lot more going on than you think. Especially since Republicans are lying about the public cases.

Republicans don't care if women die from abortion bans — but they don't want you to know about it
Women will keep dying, but the GOP is working hard to destroy the evidence

I usually inadvertently start my therapy sessions by asking my therapist, “How are you?” which is, obviously, truly unhinged. But I have a feeling tomorrow’s session will start with, “How much time do you have?”

Demonstrators arrested outside White House as they ask Biden admin to uphold law & enact arms embargo on Israel.
(Given the US letter 30 days ago suggesting policy "implications" if Israel didn't improve conditions in Gaza & that Israel failed criteria, Israel is therefore in violation of US law)
