Oooh…how I absolutely love this series!! Couldn’t think of a better way to start a rainy, chilly Saturday morning!

Whoopi Goldberg reacts to Pres. Trump saying that Gavin Newsom shouldn't be president because he has dyslexia and calling him "dumb."

"Marry someone whose character you admire. Because nothing will take a greater toll on your happiness than waking up every day next to someone whose actions tell you they have no integrity, avoid accountability, and have no real desire to grow.” ~Jillian Turecki

Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed. ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.

Reminder:

Alex Pretti’s dad: “He cared about people deeply & was very upset with what was happening... He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

"If you are moved by someone, by someone’s work, by their friendship, anything—tell them. You don’t know how much they might need that ounce of encouragement, to feel noticed, to feel like their efforts are worthwhile." ~Victoria Wright
