Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Sitting there chilling in your sister's face, knowing her daddy is fighting for his life from an accident you caused.. after causing her childs death. Kristina might be one of the worst sisters in soap history. #GH Molly better beat this wrench azz and be done with her!

Today, I celebrate the uncelebrated, unnoticed, unthanked women who work tirelessly, who work behind the scenes, who aren't constantly lauded for their external shells. Thank you. I see you. You're beautiful. Happy International Women's Day. 🫶🥳👑
