@ChrisJacksonSC Do you know how close you were to Burnst Store Marina?

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The storm surge is so powerful from #HurricaneIan that it has brought a shark into the city streets of Fort Myers.

@ChrisJacksonSC Appreciate your real time updates. Keeping my fingers crossed for Burnt Store Marina. But feeling pretty sick and sad.

[Rabbi Mark Asher Goodman @RabbiMarkAsherG]

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act.

If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.

@CampLawrence I *think* I can spot my blondie in that sea of boys. Enjoy, campers!

@Chrisk097 @WxmanFranz What scanner are you listening to. Hearing all the sirens flying north on the blvd.

A profound statement from @SCDAONews @DARollins @DonnaPatalano acknowledging the power and duty that the executive branch has to attempt to unravel the injustice of the drug lab scandals (plural) and the "Commonwealth's extensive wrongdoing." See Comm v Escobar

Amid all the chaos of the Trump presidency, he has been unfailingly consistent in his fixation on being a tough guy — with a particularly belittling, combative form of performative masculinity.

It's a persona his followers embrace and eagerly mirror.

@SNJulieManganis The headline is accurate, but why we sugar coat a rape allegation as "sexual assault" i.e., his open 2016 case is for 2 counts of rape.

@samsanders I am so glad you did. This IS who we are, but not who we have to be. A participant in a discussion group (on White Fragility) suggested if we just call racism a "preexisting condition" maybe white folks will be less defensive about addressing it? Somethings got to give.

"What would happen if we decided to be more honest about race the next time our nation found itself at a racial flashpoint?" asks NPR's Sam Sanders. "It's hard to know, because I've never seen us, collectively, do it before."

White House officials pushed Atlanta’s top federal prosecutor to resign before Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoffs because President Trump was upset he wasn’t doing enough to investigate the president’s allegations of election fraud, the ⁦@WSJ⁩ reports. https://t.co/e1s6dGLf7t

"During the Civil War, the Confederate Army never reached the Capitol. The rebel flag, to my knowledge, had never been flown inside the halls of Congress until Wednesday," @ClintSmithIII writes: https://t.co/BCTrvXRP0b

@JohnGHendy @ClintSmithIII This was a fascinating and sobering read. Makes me think about how easily the stars & bars and other symbols of the confederacy & oppression infiltrated my childhood (in New Jersey).

I applaud the people brave enough to leave the Trump administration now. It takes courage.

After airline flights, I too have been known to unbuckle my seatbelt moments before the aircraft has "come to a complete stop," so I have experienced this level of courage first hand.
