I've tried to approach this election unflinchingly & w/ clear eyes, but this is the absolute worst case scenario.

We're in an epochal shift in American history of the worst sort, &, while it does not spell the absolute end of Amer liberal democracy, MAGA is a fatal illness. 1/

@TizzyEnt As an epidemiologist I like to use data and evidence behind my decision making. Just going to drop this here. The choice is obvious.

A lot of people haven’t personally seen federal government officials. That’s absolutely true. I’ve also learned that often does not mean that the federal government isn’t there. Here’s some examples why:

I need @DanWuori to explain what’s going on with this. Why is tape so funny? Is it the surprising sound? https://t.co/PnTxnD52X0

On Wednesday night, at the Democratic National Convention, America was introduced to 17 year-old Gus Walz, the son of Gwen Walz and Gov. Tim Walz, who instantly became a national treasure due to an unexpectedly emotional moment of pride and joy for his father.

@MissSassbox Ask him if he’d get over being kicked in the balls every 3-4 weeks for the rest of his life.

Someday some reporter will figure out how to explain to the American public how post-Covid inflation was a worldwide phenomenon caused by pent-up demand and that the Biden/Harris administration handled it better than every other country.

It was 1999.

The previous year, Matthew Shepard, just 21, had been beaten, tortured, and left to die on a fence post in Laramie, Wyoming because he was openly-gay.

So there's a lot of misinformation flying around about both VP candidates and their military records. I'm going to try to break them down here for those of you not familiar with how military service works. (I am a Marine veteran myself)

Random, but airlines really should people board back to front, not front to back. From an efficiency, an organized standpoint, it would cause less congestion and less chaos. The way it’s done now is stupid and I’ve always thought so.

I normally don't talk about my religion, but after the Olympics, I feel that I must as a Catholic.

A quick explainer on the single most dangerous aspect of Project 2025.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Project 2025 shifts taxes from the wealthy to the middle class— a family of 4 earning $100K would suffer a $2,600 tax hike, while a family earning $5 million would get a $325,000 tax cut.

@drvolts I don’t understand the reticence to grappling with Trump. Are media folks afraid of “retribution” from MAGA/Trump or is it something else stifling that conversation in your opinion?

The spider kept exploring her new boat until I got her all the way across the beach, to the tall grass by the sand. And then I let her go. She disappeared immediately, a spider halfway between green and yellow swallowed up by green grass and yellow sand.

Today I learned that the oldest living land animal in the world is a gay male tortoise named Jonathan. he is 192 years old, pictured with his longtime mate Fredrick

Happy pride month to the gay turtles 🏳️‍🌈

@RevDaniel @Newsweek Taylor Swift has positively impactef society using her money and influence for supportive and charitable purposes. The fact she has done so as a single unmarried woman should be applauded not vilified. She's showing a generation of girls their worth does not depend on men

The Supreme Court has:

-Overturned Roe v. Wade (50+ years of precedent)

-Overturned Chevron (40 years of precedent)

-Overturned affirmative action (60+ years of precedent)

-Allowed cities to criminalize homelessness

And this is all because 1 man became president in 2016.
