In honor of Dolly and her commitment to getting books to kids, tell me about a book you read as a child that changed your life.
I’ll start: so many, but tonight maybe I’ll say A WRINKLE IN TIME, a book that taught me anger wasn’t wrong.

Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, Trahern Crews, and Jamael Lundy must be freed. Their arrests are another example of how this administration continues to attack our 1st Amendment rights. Hands off!

Turns out Trump’s DOJ is so incompetent it’s possible to simply copy text hidden by some of the “redacted” documents, to reveal what the DOJ wanted to redact.
This technique revealed more hush money arrangements.
If 10% of the files released are this damning, what do the rest show?

Trump’s post on Rob Reiner sparks outrage from lawmakers and celebrities
President’s statement blaming acclaimed director’s death on his dislike of him described as ‘disgusting’ and ‘vile’
Celebrities and lawmakers from both of the US’s major political parties are condemning Donald Trump after the president blamed the death of Rob Reiner on what he described as the acclaimed Hollywood director’s dislike of him.
After the apparent killings of Reiner, 78, and his 68-year-old wife, Michele, who were found dead at their home Sunday in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, Trump took to social media to call the director “tortured and struggling”. Trump also claimed Reiner died “due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME”.

Most diabetes has to be controlled with diet AND medication.
😱😭🤬Replace insulin with cooking classes??? Who has the ⌚or 💵for that. Diet is important but in many cases insulin is REQUIRED. Especially if you're diabetic because your body doesn't make insulin.
So unless you're cooking up some INSULIN, those classes won’t help.

I first started playing D&D in 1981 when I was 13 years old. I saw the pink, basic D&D box set at our neighborhood five and dime. For those of you too young to know what a five and dime is let me take some time to explain…

Unsurprisingly, I continued to be repulsed, angry, and embarrassed by our (U.S.) current government. I’m having difficulty doing anything with this constant worry in the back of my head.

Neil Gaiman can go straight to hell. I listened to the multipart podcast earlier in the year but mostly held back my opinion. With New York magazine corroborating and expanding on his behavior, I’m disgusted.
