I miss California.

Goodbye Twitter.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

@atrupar That’s it. I’m out. Deleting my account right now. See you and your adorable kids on Instagram!

[Sabrina Cartan @sabrinacartan]

The hijacking of any major social network should be cause for concern, but the fact that a hub for journalists, activists, and marginalized communities is at stake right as our institutions are under pressure is outright alarming.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

This feels very intentional.

[Jesse Lehrich @JesseLehrich]

really can't overstate what an unmitigated disaster this is.

for $8, malign actors can now pose as election officials & manipulate voters.

I'm going to choose my words here with care: When you vote, remember the anger you felt when you first understood SCOTUS was going to reverse Roe v. Wade.

Whatever it takes. Vote. Make sure the people around you vote. It matters.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

@emptywheel I have appreciated your tweets. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

It’s begun. Business-as-usual news articles about Trump’s 2024 run with zero mention — not even a clause — noting that he’s been working to overthrow American democracy based on lies about voter fraud, inspiring a violent attack on the US Capitol. https://t.co/dGOUhrQFXo

For $8 you can buy four Powerball tickets

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Life in a blue state:
- lower murder rates
- lower gun death rates
- longer life expectancy
- higher GDP
- higher minimum wage

Don’t believe the @GOP lies.

Monitoring breaking news in real time and watching videos like this. I am going to miss Twitter so much.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

@jonathanchait @davidfrum As primarily a news consumer on Twitter, I’ve just upgraded to Apple News + though I will miss hearing from journalists directly.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

@sjrose99 Oh no! I will miss you. I am considering leaving the app too. Wishing you lots of happiness.

[Erin Darling @WestsideDarling]

We’ve built a broad, diverse coalition of Westsiders who want representatives who listen to the community and fight for a healthier, safer, and affordable Los Angeles for ALL.

Let’s go ALL OUT at our BIG RALLY tomorrow in West LA: https://t.co/A90C3Ndrf1

[Kim @kclnorcal]

@EverettStern1 Thank you.

[Mike Memoli @mikememoli]

NEW: At DNC event today @POTUS will vow to fast track codifying Roe if Dems retain control of House & Senate.

Will be first bill he sends to new Congress, with goal to sign into law by the 50th anniversary of the Roe decision on January 22.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

These people are crazy.

[Right Wing Watch @RightWingWatch]

Julie Green, a self-proclaimed "prophet" with close ties to Doug Mastriano's gubernatorial campaign, claims that Washington is controlled by "Luciferians" and that God wants the capital city moved and D.C. "destroyed."

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Normally, on Fox, Newsmax and OAN every day I watch hosts and guests call Democrats marxists who hate America, steal elections, recruit kids for sex trafficking, and want to impose a communist dictatorship. Today, I’m watching them call Biden divisive.

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

It takes a very special degree of brain-poisoning to respond to a speech about the threat to American democracy with commentary about optics and political horserace.

[Kim @kclnorcal]

@sjrose99 Coast of Maine! My first visit to the state. 😀

[Kim @kclnorcal]

Happy September!
