@BipartisanFarts @BowTiedGrey @mattyglesias As happened in the 1910s and 1920s. Including American citizens who happened to *look* Mexican/Hispanic.

@KarHannaRN @MonicaChilton @aravosis Yes it’s sad that he’s brought out country so low.

@lavern_spicer The first word to the Preamble to the Constitution is a pronoun: WE the people. Also in the Preamble is OURSELVES. THEY is used over 50 times throughout the document, the most common of all the pronouns used. THEY is also the most commonly used in the Declaration of Independence.

@lavern_spicer Someone needs to go back to school and relearn her US History. We can start with Southern Strategy, Dixiecrats, and the evolution of parties and party platforms. Republican wasn’t always conservatives and Democrats weren’t always the liberals.

@ErotiqueErotica @KatherineHunte3 @lizzo There is also power in CARING what others think. Hurtful is hurtful, and far too often words hurt the least among us. It takes a strong person to acknowledge and change.

@bob_linx @JAD_DLD4LIFE @Chriswb71 @SenTomCotton CRT is a university/law school level course of study that examines in depth the effects of racism, individually and systemically. The term has been co-opted by the right-mongers (not all Rs but a certain type) to assume any mention of race or racism.

[Jalyn Radziminski @JRadziminski_]

Don’t get me wrong- the nomination of Judge KBJ is a historic moment. But why are we normalizing a Black woman being verbally & emotionally abused by a committee for the public to see? Why are we applauding composure during abuse? Why must Black women suffer to make history?

@nldjcoalition @ashdrew13 @HeerJeet @repmorgan SOMEBODY doesn't know what Critical Race Theory is or where and what age group it's taught.
"CRT" (in quotes) is actual history with elements that have been erased or minimized because it makes US look bad.
Look at how Germany teaches the Holocaust to children and get back to us.

@abulsme So happy and excited for her/y'all.
Doing the happy dance.

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@misanthropyftw @AnitaMWeir1 @ksorbs And a Jew.

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@ksorbs Ever wonder why there are no CONSERVATIVES on Mt. Rushmore?

@phils06gt @JumpsuitWedgie @RevChuckCurrie @IlhanMN @RepBoebert The difference is that our Book says he's the son of God. Their books say he's an important prophet but their beliefs about his position in the hierarchy of faiths differs. That's all. Who's to say we're right and they're not. I think my God has a big enough soul for all.

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@phils06gt @JumpsuitWedgie @RevChuckCurrie @IlhanMN @RepBoebert Muslims, Jews and Christians have the SAME GOD. (See - sons of Abraham, or through Abraham's bloodline.) We just have differing ways of believing and different names we call him. Also, other religions believe the same about their faiths. Jesus is named in all three faiths btw.

@peapodtraveler @MichelleObama @BarackObama You're not nobody. You're somebody. And you found somebody who thinks the same. That's an accomplishment in and of itself.
You might not be Barack or Michelle, but you're Adam and that's something. And someone else thinks so too.

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@SWatercolour @dog_rates @SLCOParksandRec You were a dog among dogs. That's very very good.
Rest in eternal peace, joy and snowbanks, Maggie.

@weegieguy @cjoneshead @varindersingh24 I cover my airways every winter. It helps me breathe in brisk, frigid temperatures. Still have not-so-fond memories of -27 in Montana. It's better to cover than risk damage to my lungs.

Also, my sister and niece the nurses are laughing hard at your comment. Humor is appreciated.

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@cjoneshead @varindersingh24 I saw the first frame and totally broke out in Meatloaf.

"But I won't do that!"

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@Lisa723Kelly @varindersingh24 Makes me want to move to New Zealand.

(that and other reasons. But yes, that.)

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@varindersingh24 Not currently, but that's only because it's oh-dark-thirty and I'm sitting in my office. Out in the real world? Every time. (Rare exceptions for outside and very socially distanced. Like..."across the dog park from the rest of the dog people" socially distant.)

[Caryn Oconnor @OconnorCaryn]

@nyactor @Radio_Reem He's a serial cheater but they have an "open relationship."
That's my guess.
