This is my last night on social media for the next six months at least, and I'm gonna miss y'all. Also if the revolution kicks off someone text me please, I rarely leave the house and it'll take me forever to figure it out.

In my first story with Kelley French for @notus.com, I spoke to the woman pictured in the Metro photo on July 4. She didn't know she went viral. Her family wants people to know their difficult reality. Please take some time with our story today www.notus.org/metro/viral-...

The Woman in the Photo Wanted to Be Alone. Instead, She Went Viral.
America saw what it wanted to see on the face of its newest icon. And everyone saw it wrong.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Republicans love paid sick leave—for themselves
These Republicans have voted against paid sick leave for workers, but now they’re using it themselves.

I hate when I'm doing better and then I'm doing much worse and even though I know overall I'm better than I was a year ago, it still sucks when I'm worse than last month for no reason. It's like this Liz and Mollie comic but it DOESN'T FEEL OKAY. www.instagram.com/p/CbAzKoDp03U/
A comic by Liz Fosslien that shows a steady, stair-step progress line in black with an arrow pointing to it called "The Plan". Overlaid on this stair-step black line is a wavy, swirling, dashed line in light blue that goes up, down, back on itself, and everywhere. It does gradually end up higher than it was at the start, but there are lots of dives and swoops to get there. This line also has an arrow pointing to it that says "What Actually Happens (And That's Okay)".

From this thread, it would seem my husband's recipe for Fakerade is effective, so here it is: 14 oz glass water Half a teaspoon of salt 2 oz mango nectar Very tasty and imo easier to keep down than things like Pedialyte, which make me feel nauseous bc of the fake chemically flavor.

The third act of A Christmas Carol, one of the most famous examples of "don't die a dickhead, " was the ghost showing Scrooge how happy everyone was that he died and it was a big motivator for him to stop being a piece of shit and still we got a bunch of dickhead Dems talking up Lindsey Graham

Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

My Senator honestly nailing his condolences post. Shocked to hear about it, not saddened. We worked on stuff together, I got to know him, I have nothing kind to say about what I came to know of him so I shall say nothing further on that. My sympathies to his family, end transmission. 👍

This is not a constitutional republic anymore. I’m not saying we can’t get it back, but right now the US is an autocracy.

Trump said on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that he's following lawyers' advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

People don’t like to hear this but when she was in the senate one of HRCs ways of being seen as serious and tough and bipartisan before running for president was to be a hawk. You know what this led her to? Voting for the Iraq war. This path of adhering to gop standards of strength is bad.

If you're going to get annoyed that a stranger on the internet isn't immediately following your answer to a question you asked, maybe don't respond to strangers if it annoys you so much? If I'm not being hostile to you in my follow-up questions there's no need to be hostile to me in your answers.
