I’m sorry, but I’m tired of these old fucks clinging to power until they die. You really want people like Chuck Grassley determining our future? Where is the new blood? Scoot over and make room, otherwise we’re doomed.

Every time Young Thug is mentioned, it’s about something stupid, disgusting, or both. I want him erased from my timeline! What is he good for anyway?

Deeply embarrassing that Scientific American would lend its name to this claptrap.

The DSCC (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) has formed a joint fundraising committee with the campaign of Janet Mills.

It’s called “Maine Senate Victory 2026”:

I’ve hated every single one of his movies and don’t understand why people keep giving him money to do more and why he gets top billing. I guessed the ending to the Sixth Sense in the first 15 minutes.

LOL. Sure. Because every 26 yr old wants to date a geriatric man, who looks like Captain Kangaroo and Howdy Doody had a kid.😂

It's not cute how they are all so confident that the ability to fight back isn't privileged and they obviously just missed that article about that Black postal worker. That's what happens to us in interactions with the police/the law

I’m tired of Well-Meaning White Women telling us what we should and shouldn’t do. “Trust the legal system!”
When has that ever worked out for us?

Im staying at a Hyatt House for the first time. Hoping it’s a good experience. I’m usually a Marriot or Omni girl.

Luckily, Joyce, you are a white woman, so you will never in that position. The rest of us Black and Brown people won’t have that luxury.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.
