@mmcornelius@d1_ruby2 Embrace help and take care of yourself, Ruby. You still have many opportunities ahead, and Lady Vol nation will be rooting for you to grow and succeed in your next chapter.
@jk_rowling Imagine being such a miserable wretch that, despite all your filthy wealth and fame, you wake up every day bent on shaming the LGBT+ community instead of doing something decent. May your misery haunt you day and night.
Honest question for those not in the cult… what do you think it will take for them to finally admit that he’s ruining the country & put pressure on Repubs to turn their backs on him & finally hold him accountable?
@YouTubeTV Already made my switch to Hulu live. Price is the same, but if I’m paying that price, I’ll also get the Disney and ESPN+. Can’t believe I’ll be the only former YouTube TV subscriber to draw that conclusion.
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
Let me see if I have this straight: In late September 100 Republicans voted against stopgap spending to replenish FEMA funding and although it passed, some of those same Republicans are now begging for aid. Now, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson won’t reconvene the House to vote on recovery aid that could help millions of Americans. And even worse, they are spreading massive lies and misinformation about FEMA to their constituents.
So the playbook is: Vote against a solution, campaign on the chaos they created and then blame Democrats.
Do I have this right?
Waiz: The fact of the matter is, how can we as a nation say that your life and your rights, as basic as the right to control your own body, is determined on geography.
