It is notable that the revenues will be used to support anti-choice efforts driven by ticket sales to concerts and festivals headlined by major artists who have been fiercely critical of conservative attacks on reproductive rights. rol.st/3oydiW0
Let’s stop feigning surprise about these racist mass murders. When white nationalists attack teaching about race in schools, while espousing Great Replacement Theory, deadly racial violence is inevitable. #Buffalo#ReplacementTheorynytimes.com/live/2022/05/14/…
#LadyGaga is indeed a "vessel of love" showing respect & kindness to Liza Minelli. Lady softly said to Liza, "I gotcha." And Liza was barely audible when she responded, "I know" Here's what I know. Lady Gaga is a class act - a beautiful human being. #AcademyAward
I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice.

In 1954, #BettyWhite was criticized after having Arthur Duncan, a Black tap dancer, on her show.

Rest well, Betty.

Our national treasure, Betty White, has passed just before her 100th birthday. Our Sue Ann Nivens, our beloved Rose Nylund, has joined the heavens to delight the stars with her inimitable style, humor, and charm. A great loss to us all. We shall miss her dearly.
The federal government has a duty to protect our democracy—including every American's right to vote. We can do this by cracking down on gerrymandering, modernizing voter registration, reforming our broken campaign finance system, fighting election subversion, and more.
I was feeling kind of blah about the holidays this year, but then I made myself an ornament of all the books I read in 2021. Nothing like a bookish craft to get you in the spirit!
