Me, lookin at the sky with my hands on my hips: "Look, if you're gonna rain, then RAIN already. I mowed AND skipped watering my flowers in anticipation for this, so chop chop let's go."
Absolutely *love* that I planted a tree in my backyard specifically so that my dog would have a shady place to lay and instead he spends 90% of his time laying juuuust beyond its shadow. 🥴😆
So this might be controversial coming the day after May the Fourth but Star Wars The Phantom Menace is NOT a terrible film and I will happily duel anyone to the death over this opinion.
My dog says to cue up Sarah McLachlan and to call animal protective services because he needs some rescuing tonight. 🛁🫧🐾

Roosevelt Institute@rooseveltinstitute.org · 2y agoOn the anniversary of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s passing, we reflect on the legacy of a leader who met crisis with courage & clarity. As he reminded us: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith."
America did some Good Trouble today. Keep it up, folks!! 👏👏👏

This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.
Okay so what, now they have a problem with OVERdressing because the penguin representative showed up in a tux? 🐧 Sheesh, there is just no winning with these people.

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com · 2y agoNew Jersey Sen. Cory Booker took to the Senate floor on Monday evening, saying he would remain there as long as he was “physically able.” More than 24 hours later, the 55-year-old senator was still going.
I know us millennials have the running joke of "Oh, we are tired of living through crazy historical events" but I tell you what, watching the Cory Booker filibuster is exactly the kind of history I want to witness more of.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
