Can't believe we have to say this, but: STOP FLYING DRONES NEAR WILDFIRES. DRONES GROUND OUR AIRCRAFT. Our firefighting operations are more important than those 12 likes you'll get on Instagram.
Panic is setting in.
We’ve recently learned: • Hunter received money from China (contradicting President Biden’s claim) • President Biden spoke with Hunter’s business associates over 20 times (contradicting what Biden previously claimed) • Biden’s DOJ tried to secretly give Hunter broad immunity…
I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …
Fabulous thread ⬇️
Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1
Actually: It has become a disturbing feature of some recent opinions to go beyond the proper role of the judiciary. Worse still: Those decisions tend to benefit the right-wing groups and creepy billionaires who put those justices on the Court. Like, pretty much every time.
Wealth of Elon Musk 2012: $2,000,000,000 2023: $248,900,000,000 Wealth of Jeff Bezos 2012: $18,400,000,000 2023: $153,100,000,000 Wealth of Mark Zuckerberg 2012: $17,500,000,000 2023: $104,900,000,000 Federal Minimum Wage 2012: $7.25 2023: $7.25 Three words: tax the rich.
Reminder: the Constitution does not specify the number of seats on the Supreme Court. This power was left to Congress, which set the Supreme Court's size at one chief justice and five associates in the Judiciary Act of 1789. It was legally changed seven times. (thread)
I'm reminded of Toni Morrison: "The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being" That's what Roberts WANTS Black kids to be further distracted by his bullshit
Mr. Armstrong doesn't appear to want a complicated or nuanced narrative on trans inclusion in sports, which is interesting given how assiduously he has attempted to push for affirmation of complication and nuance in his own story.
It is no mistake or coincidence that Mr. Armstrong isn't interviewing trans athletes currently competing or trans advocates or parents of trans children or supportive medical experts or champions of trans inclusion in women's sports like Meghan Rapinoe or Billie Jean King.
Maryland has been declared a trans sanctuary state. Gov. Wes Moore signed an order protecting trans people and providers from extradition, investigation, and aiding refugees. Maryland is now one of the safest states. Subscribe to support my work. erininthemorning.com/p/maryland-gov…
It's a remarkable thing when jurors have to be cautioned that revealing their identities could put them at risk...when the defendant was the former president of the Unites States
Judge Lewis Kaplan, to the jury, according to @Lauren_delvalle: “My advice to you is not to identify yourselves. Not now and not for a long time.” cnn.it/3HSfP7G
So a journalist in a democracy is telling people to give up any hope of passing laws that the majority in the democracy support. And she’s also disingenuously suggesting that those wanting that legislation have never made any other efforts to end the slaughter than gun bans.
No, YOU F off. I am sick and tired of nothing changing after mass shootings bc we get mired EVERY TIME IN THE DAMN GUN DEBATE. You have LOST. It’s DONE. For the love of God what else can be done? You are ruining any chance at change by not admitting that the gun debate is lost.
You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank. You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask…
When there are so many attacks on equality, civil rights and democracy going on around the country, it’s important to share stories like this. It reminds me to have hope, because the future lies in the hands of young people, not of those who want us to return to the 1950s.
Earlier this year, anti-LGBTQ parents pressured our high school into cancelling our spring play. Now we’re fighting back to put it on ourselves, but need your help. More at marianlives.org #marianlives

Imagine if even a fraction of us were this brave. Standing boldly in who you are, despite the hate targeting you every day, and then going on to call out hypocrisy and hate within a legislature hellbent on erasing your existence. We stand with you Rep. @ZoAndBehold #mtpol
It’s a shame that Republicans blocked the Equal Rights Amendment from becoming law today. They can twist it however they wish, but it’s fact: Republicans voted against explicitly including women’s equality in our Constitution.
