I love how these shelves turned out. 🤩 * Before anyone comes at me: Yes. I know Kikuchi’s ‘Vampire Diaries’ series isn’t manga. They’re the height of manga, so that’s where they’ll go.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

I’m really happy with that time. I haven’t been training like I should, ut I’m almost positive this is my first sub-10 minute-mile 10K in YEARS. 11.5 hours to 40! 🎂 🎁 🎉

My name is Suzanna Shkreli and today I’m announcing my Democratic campaign for Secretary of State in Michigan. My parents came to this country to flee authoritarianism. Now as those same threats take root here at home, I’m ready to defend our democracy and safeguard Michiganders’ right to vote.
