I’m genuinely sad for people that don’t have access to Blue Bell Ice Cream!

So no one was going to tell me Buttered Pecan got that Kris Jenner facelift and a BBL?! I hope everyone is sleep so they can’t see my #FatTweet.

I side-eye people who make statements like “Racism only exists in your mind.” Or “why is everything about race” “I don’t see color” 🗣️when HAIR LOVE by Matthew Cherry is on the list of US banned books and Mein Kampf (often found in the manifestos of yt mass murders) is not. I’m soooo exhausted 🙄

The people are friendly which I found interesting since most of them were losing. Neither Canelo or Bud held a moment of silence.

We are not safe!

The Democrats' long-term strategy, according to Rep. Wu, involves implementing a "trigger law" where blue states like California, Illinois, and New York would also gerrymander. He framed this as a necessary step in the fight "to save democracy."

What is the Dummest thing you’re doing at your big age? Me: Agreeing to Terms of APPS without reading them? 😩

“I’ve reported on statehouses rolling back DEI initiatives, and a Supreme Court more conservative than it’s been in decades. Even just yesterday, the DOJ rolled back police reform deals with Minneapolis (where George Floyd died) and…. The progress that once felt within reach now feels precarious.”
