🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

It takes a lot of mental strength to hold your ground when you’re the only masker around, especially when society has largely moved on. But I’d rather be a lone wolf and stand by what I believe is right for my health than follow the maskless herd just to fit in. #COVIDisAirborne #MaskUp 😷

•	Central Subject: A large, detailed grey wolf stands on a jagged rocky peak in a partial profile view. A white N95 respirator mask with fine geometric seams is fitted securely over its muzzle.
•	Background: A massive, dense herd of sheep blankets the lower valley floor. Behind them is a dramatic landscape of jagged, snow-capped mountains and a pine forest under a vibrant orange and yellow sunset.
•	Overlay Text: Large, heavily distressed white sans-serif capital letters frame the top of the scene, reading: "I'M A LONE WOLF IN A WORLD FILLED WITH MASKLESS SHEEP."
•	Watermark: The bottom left corner has small white text that reads "meme generator".

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you. Please know you’re not alone. Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick. Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it. As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.

The U.S. has entered its 13th COVID wave, with an estimated 1 in 86 Americans currently infectious. Around 567,000 new infections are occurring daily, totalling 3.69 million in a week. PMC estimates a single week at this level could result in 900–1,600 excess deaths. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
A line graph titled "SARS-CoV-2 New Daily Infections, Wastewater-Derived Estimates (U.S.)" from the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC) Model, dated September 7, 2026.
The graph plots estimated daily COVID-19 infections from 2020 through late 2026, with the y-axis ranging from 0 to over 5,000,000. Individual pandemic waves are numbered sequentially from 1 to 13, with a massive peak at wave 4 in early 2022. Wave 13 is shown ticking upwards at the far-right edge.
A central prominent box highlights the date Sep 7, 2026, with a note stating "Preliminary estimates for the past nine days." The graph is attributed to Michael Hoerger, PhD, MSCR, MBA (@michael_hoerger) and references pmc19.com. A text box at the bottom states: "PMC identifies 12 SARS-CoV-2 waves and estimates averages of 5.4 infections per person and 14.5 months between infections."

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”
