It’s been too hot and dry for campfires this summer so I made s’mores indoors with these s’mores cookie bars. They are so and chocolatey! 🍽️ #baking

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

If the Commander of Southern Command is stepping down less than a year into his tenure, I’m guessing we’re about to find out the intelligence picture on these “narco-terrorist” vessels that we’re blowing out of the water isn’t as solid as it’s being portrayed.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

We’ll survive, but it’s going to take time to rebuild for sure. We have to be patient with the Democrats when we’re back in the White House. No instant gratification bullshit - this isn’t a one term fix. If we want to see real change, we make the GOP the minority party for a decade or more.

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds Dangerous times

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

The party of small government is currently advocating for federal troops and members of the military to patrol the streets and detain citizens. And the GOP fluffers on social media are just… fine with that?

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

I lost one of my most favorite people yesterday. This is my grandma in 1998 on a gondola in Venice. I took it with my camera, days before turning 18. Words could never encapsulate how much she meant to me. There are some people in life who are a part of your soul and she was part of mine.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
