I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

I know someone who had to threaten legal action just to get their residuals. The norm of this industry is not being compensated timely or fairly, and then having to be so endlessly grateful to finally receive scraps.

This is Cerberus. They're picking out a new squeaky toy. Even guardians of the underworld deserve a little treat. 13/10 would pat all three noggins
a blue shopping cart is parked facing you in the wide aisle of a big-box pet store. three shepherd-looking puppies are sitting in the cart, poking their heads up over the edge at you. since nothing is visible below their necks, it’s distinctly possible that this is merely one devilishly handsome three-headed pup. the head on the left is making direct and menacing eye contact. the central head looks up with a defiant expression, chin held high. the one on the right has his head slightly cocked to one side and has the biggest ears. we’ll probably start there with the noggin pats.
