And this is why we’re leaving LA and moving to VA.

[Blue Virginia @bluevirginia]

"Virginians for Reproductive Freedom...celebrates this significant win. With this...Virginia is poised to join other states that have proactively protected the rights of individuals to make private health care decisions without government interference." https://t.co/QYuRSZJBN1

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has over 1.4 million active members and 500,000 retirees, making it one of the largest unions on Earth. O’Brien is the no-nonsense head of that guild and a lifelong Democrat. But the price of groceries doesn’t escape him, he added, or seeking out like-minded worthy leaders.

“There’s a lot of talent out there in the country,” he said, naming Josh Shapiro and Gretchen Whitmer, governors of Pennsylvania and Michigan, respectively, as two quick examples. “I’m from Massachusetts where we get a lot done.

“What the Democratic party got wrong is what we’ve been saying for the past eight months,” he added. “Instead of being consulted, they try to talk down to you. Both parties need to step up and prove they support working people.”

There’s a LOT wrong with our current political system.

But Citizens United is one of the big things.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Overturn Citizens United.

Billionaires cannot continue to buy elections in this country.

A surprise to literally no one who’s passed a HS civics course.

[NOLA.com @NOLAnews]

BREAKING: Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments in schools is unconstitutional, judge rules https://t.co/weSlMcRzpu

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

This is absurd at this point.

Murray, Z, Jose, Herb, Hawk, CJ.

We’re basically the Birmingham Squadron- NOLA at this point.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Another injury blow to New Orleans: Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado is expected to miss six weeks due to a hamstring injury, sources told ESPN.

New Orleans is now without Alvarado, Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum and Jordan Hawkins.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

I know we’re -extremely- short handed at the moment- but this is a 2-3 season old problem. The Pels simply HAVE to take more 3s.

Teams are averaging ~35-40 per game. Pels average almost 10 less.

Simply cannot keep pace at that rate.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

@PopesFFH @DynastyDadFF I went back and forth and back again at TE- Pitts, LaPorta, or Fergie.

Luckily, chose LaPorta.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

And that’s on FUCK ATLANTA AND FUCK DENNIS ALLEN

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

When we let billionaires buy elections, we get auctions instead of elections.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

I think DA was a bigger part of the problem than DC

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

@LyndaWoolard My thing re: Twitter is so complicated bc I don’t want to be here supporting fascism but I also have so many great follows that still remain here.

Threads ain’t it.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

@DMendy02 LaPorta, Pitts, or Ferguson at TE.

Leaning LaPorta

[Anthony LaMesa @ajlamesa]

The Biden campaign apparently had internal polling that showed Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes at the same time that they were insisting he was a strong candidate.

[Abby Denton @mizabitha]

I've said it before, but you will understand every decision the Democrats make when you understand that party leadership is composed of rich people in a tax bracket that will profit under Republican austerity, but in a social circle that is expected to pretend they're not

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

There’s something super cathartic about blocking or unfollowing folks on your friends list who are showing you who they truly are right now.

[Commissioner Davante Lewis @davantelewis]

The heart of America was in danger in 2016. The heart of America in 2024 has rotten. We have a serious problem of individualism that will cost us all.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

I’ve oscillated between sadness, fear, rational evaluation and sheer, unfiltered rage.

I’m prioritizing protecting my peace, but also settling on bringing nothing but knuck if you buck energy into 2025.

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

Fuck this shit

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

The fact that #2 on the Panthers first reaction is to be upset about a flag on him while standing over Olave’s unconscious body is nuts.

[Saints Film Room @SaintsFilmRoom]

Chris Olave takes a nasty shot. Hope he's ok

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

@TheReal_JJ Weird start to evaluate

[AndyGator🌹 @andygvtor]

They also said this about G Will.

[CelticsUnite @CelticsUnite18]

An anonymous Celtics player denied Kendrick Perkins from attending Banner night:

“The respect for him is below zero. He disrespects our work and organization”
