Have snacks, will travel, but prefer Amtrak to the Great Eagles of Manwe. Living that #hobbitlife. Personal account, opinions are plentiful and my own

Sometimes Baltimore is blacked out too? I can't be in the Atlanta, DC, and Baltimore area. Atlanta and DC are 600+ miles from each other.

Hey @MLBNetwork , we subscribe as a #Mets & #Cubs household near Raleigh, NC. But when my Mets play Atlanta & DC, games are blacked out. Negotiate a better deal! I can't watch those games anywhere else.

And if I can't see #degrom return bc of this nonsense, I may cancel w you.

And so we wake up and we drag ourselves to work surrounded by men who will ask us what’s wrong because they don’t even know or they’ve forgotten already or they agree.

If these children were strong enough to survive boarding school indoctrination (many didn’t) — then white children are strong enough to learn about it.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The federal government bailed out the banks. Trump and the Republicans gave huge tax cuts to the wealthy. Congress is about to hand $10 billion to Jeff Bezos to go the moon. Yes, we can afford to cancel all student debt.

I don’t know. Maybe a society where billionaires have enough money lying around to start space programs and control communication while people starve and ration their medicine isn’t the best system.

Wild that people will tell you with a full chest that patriarchy doesn’t exist while also acknowledging that in nearly every region and culture on earth, when a woman is violently beaten or murdered, the first and universal assumption is that the man closest to her did it.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

critical race theory has killed 0 kids
books about race have killed 0 kids
teaching abt sexuality has killed 0 kids
guns killed 999 kids UNDER 11 last year.

Guess which one the “pro-life” party is not working on banning

Hint, it’s the one that’s actually killed kids.

Great time to question how the price tag is going up on everything but your labor

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

I don’t like paying higher gas prices either but it’s incredible that people will buy GOP outrage on gas that’s $5 instead of $3.50—but then excuse GOP for keeping the min wage at $7.25 instead of $15, insulin at $1200 instead of $35, & paid leave at 0 weeks instead of 12 weeks.

Hating some women makes you a traitor to all women in the fight against a patriarchal culture that bludgeons us with specificity. Misogyny may be muted, leveraged, amplified, or entwined with other types of systemic hatred, but it always exists for the same reason: woman.

In February 2020, just 2 years ago, 52 of 53 Republican senators voted to allow (then) President Trump to block congressionally authorized sale of critical military supplies to the courageous President Zelensky of Ukraine, unless Ukraine manufactured anti-Democratic propaganda.

Fun fact: 17 Nobel Prize-winning economists agree that Biden’s economic agenda would EASE inflation, not raise it. Know the truth.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

I think it’s worth asking again — and seriously — what exactly do we have a Presidential Records Act for if it’s not enforced?
