How about this idea…

Conversion therapy for bigots?

When I couldn’t find any scissors, I was reduced to tears.

This is supposed to be good news but I have a need for honesty, fairness, justice, and a system where someone's word can be trusted. And this flies in the face of that.

I guess I should grow up, but hearing Marsha Blackburn and other TN GOPers rail against "woke, green, liberalism" and then show up for the groundbreaking of the Ford EV battery plant THAT THEY VOTED AGAINST just pisses me off.

Act normal as you read this and boost if you are pretty sure the squirrels are up to something.

Today in 1896, Charlotte Whitton is born.
Serving on Ottawa's Board of Control in 1951, after the sudden death of Mayor Grenville Goodwin, she was appointed acting mayor.
This made her the first female mayor of a major Canadian city. She serves from 1951-1956 & 1961-1964.

come children let me tell you of a golden era when every day didn’t start with the words “the fuck did they do now”

Volkswagenitalia ftw.

Reminder: Billionaires are not “self-made.” They’re made via a combination of inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, labor exploitation, and policy failures.

Can we stop perpetuating a myth that blames the wealth gap on the choices of everyday Americans?

I'm finding it harder and harder to justify eating at restaurants when the cost is so much higher than pre-covid and when the average/typical quality is so poor. I want to support local businesses, but I can't under these conditions. #ottawa

Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.

One day that person went away.

And then I had a brother.

He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.

Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.

It seems in the end a sizable number of the convoyers were nothing but paid crisis actors

This tweet comes unironically from the GOP, which loves giant defense budgets, wants to regulate women's bodies, wishes to tell schools what they can teach, desires a 1900-mile-long border wall, wants to increase the size of police forces, thinks the government should prevent drag story hours, is trying to track young women's periods, thinks social media companies need more regulation, is banning books from libraries, and is trying to tell doctors what prescriptions they can & can't write.
