Organized abandonment.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

uh oh it’s me tweeting about organized abandonment again! state-sanctioned group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death is a mouthful but also it’s so precise as a definition

then there are the people caged in jails and prisons who will likely not be evacuated at all.

@GeauxGabrielle And….. the world would be a better place if there were more humans that had well developed capacities in these areas!!!!

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today…

As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

The port strike is a Trump campaign op. It's been in the works for over a year. The GOP is willing to tank the strongest economic recovery in the world to punish us for not wanting a convicted fraud and adjudicated rapist in the White House.

Hmm…has anyone ever told @SpeakerJohnson that Clay Higgins & him are why people leave the church & stop being Christians?

There’s no discernible difference between Mike Johnson & @RepClayHiggins - does Mike realize that?

What you allow Israel to do to other people will set a precedent of what can be done to you. Remember that.

As a Louisiana resident (and voter), I am so disgusted by this. @SenJohnKennedy this is disgraceful

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

This is truly one of the most disgusting displays I’ve ever seen

The difference:

The upsetting things said by Trump and Vance are not true.

The upsetting things said about Trump and Vance are true.

Trump really did mount a violent coup against the Constitution. He and his relatives really did take bribes in office, including from foreign governments. He really was helped into power by Russian espionage agencies. He really did steal secret documents from the US government after his election defeat. And Vance really did, and by his own admission, intentionally "create stories" for political advantage that put residents of his state at risk of physical harm.

This is fun 🤣

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Okay let’s do this:
1. my wife waiting to see how I’m going to butcher essential details about our own children.
2. My mother hoping I don’t fuck up my solo in the recital.
3. I’ve walked through the door, 2hrs after curfew not already dead, which was my only way to stay alive.

Important for us to understand so we can explain to others….

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

There are about 400 verses in the Bible calling us to care for immigrants, foreigners, and refugees.

I can only image how grieved God is when people who claim to be Christians make up racist lies about these folks God loves so much.
