There was not even cranberry sauce! At least we could shut ourselves in the bedroom, play bananagrams and watch a #RoyWoodsJR stand up special to get through it. #Thanksgiving

TLDR: Why did this heifer roll up into Thanksgiving and say to my friend, “oh I like your hair are you Guatemalan?” Like WTF is that even? What do you even know about Guatemala? You can’t even ease into that with mention of Óscar Isaac or something? 1/

Trump is taking Reagan’s lil MAGA slogan and his AIDS playbook, too.
The Trump administration has joined the war on HIV/AIDS, on the side of HIV/AIDS.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

Each time the NYT screws up and people are like, “I’ve had a subscription for X years and I’m cancelling today because of this,” I wonder what rock they’ve been living under or if they just don’t GAF about other issues. Folks have got to read the work of the Combahee River Collective.

My lil congressional internship was in 1999 but the absolute WORST part of that unpaid job was answering angry constituent calls. Somehow they thought I (a 19 yr old answering the phone) had any control over what the congressperson said/ did. Don’t be an ass to the messenger.
You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine?

Just remember as you see all these politicians rushing to say "Bernie was right, we should be like Bernie" that a few weeks ago, Bernie was praising Trump on immigration. Oh, and Bernie voted to confirm Marco Rubio.
NONE of the Senate Democrats are good enough. NONE. OF. THEM.

Being disabled in the U.S. is constantly living in extreme stress because non medical people determine whether they believe you are disabled & worthy of benefits you’ve paid into that can partially sustain you and provide access to healthcare.

I’ve been trying to get SSDI for awhile now & in the meantime I have mediocre but still very necessary ACA health insurance that my family helps me pay for but I don’t know that I’ll be able to maintain that in the coming year due to cost. I need Sen Ossoff & Sen Warnock to remember disabled folks.

Ezra Klein is never ever ever going to say he’s wrong.
He knows he’s wrong, though.
He just thinks he’s smarter than y’all.

The majority of Black and Brown people who live in the U.S. reside in the South. Views like this expressed by Peter Wagner only serve to dehumanize & dismiss folks who are anything other than white. In the words of one of my hometown’s most talented artists, “South got something to say.”
