If you’re in Louisiana, there’s a lot to vote on today. The secretary of state, attorney general, state treasurer, and state legislative seats are all up for grabs.

Democrats could prevent a GOP supermajority in the state legislature, so be sure to get out and vote!

Orcas trashing a boat blasting heavy metal is in fact the most metal thing ever

Foster cat went to her new home today. So glad it only took a couple weeks to find her a good placement.

Soldiers commit rape as an act of war. It’s frighteningly common. I believe the Israeli women who were raped on 10/7 and I believe the Palestinian women who have been raped by IDF soldiers AND I believe women IDF soldiers who have reported sexual harassment & assault

Folks, a friendly reminder that there are elections coming up in both Louisiana and Utah. Louisiana’s is this Saturday, November 18, and Utah’s is next Tuesday, November 21.

“The depraved tactics of Hamas do not relieve Israel of its responsibility to protect civilians.” That’s all there is. Period

We recently learned 34% more working Americans ages 35-44 died than expected in the last quarter of 2022, & the CDC recently announced they will no longer be reporting Covid-related excess deaths. https://t.co/JVEvbRQO9k

The Pentagon just failed its SIXTH audit in a row.

Imagine if instead of increasing the military budget every year, we invested that money into our communities to end homelessness, guarantee health care, and fully fund our public schools.

Here are some things that are not just “allegations”, Marsha —

Your lawyer introduced Russian spies to the NRA: https://t.co/h0gl19AoGD

You carried a bill to make it harder for the DEA to fight the opioid crisis: https://t.co/kuWAzmFrIy

Gaza death toll tops 12,000—of them 5,000 are children

USA spent 21 years & $3T bombing Afghanistan to destroy Taliban—instead killed at least 50K civilians before leaving Afghanistan w/Taliban in power

You Can't Bomb For Peace.

We need human rights law & justice

During the open enrollment period ending Dec 7, DO NOT GET SUCKERED INTO MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS.

The “celebrities” who are hawking them know NOTHING about them!

There is too much risk! You can’t tell a good plan from a bad one!

Stay on TRADITIONAL MEDICARE WITH A SUPPLEMENT!

Vote for Joe Biden: He's not about to lose his business, his money, and his house because he committed hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud

@purrenrage Ouch. So glad income based repayments exist.

@RuralFMPA I took out a personal loan and flew to Mexico for bariatric surgery. This is clearly not the answer for most people. Insurance needs to cover the new weight loss drugs.

[İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي @iyad_elbaghdadi]

Remember, the incompetent intelligence services that told you that Al Shifa hospital is Hamas's "command center", are also the intelligence services that failed to predict the Oct 7 attacks despite multiple warnings https://t.co/6YKaoDe3os

[İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي @iyad_elbaghdadi]

Whenever I tweet about the immense suffering being inflicted on Gaza, I get replies from pro-Israel accounts demanding that Hamas release the hostages. Here's a quick rundown of what's happening on that front. Tl;dr: Netanyahu doesn't care about the hostages

[İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي @iyad_elbaghdadi]

So this is the situation:
- Bibi knows that the end of fighting is the end of his political career
- He calculates that accepting a release deal can potentially end the fighting long enough for his career to be threatened
- Nobody in his government is prioritizing the hostages
