@caitiedelaney I do not! But growing up, every other family I ate with served a huge pile of WonderBread with margarine...so, it's fair....

@AndySandford The day I stepped off the sidewalk in DC to avoid a rat who was not budging, I realized, "I am from Montana, what the hell am I doing here???" And now I pretend prairie dogs aren't just rats in holes...

@charlotteirene8 Old school pride anthems: I Will Survive!! And We Are Family and YMCA, ofc...

@CooneyforMT Lower-income Montanans like me can benefit from Montana's bounty only because there are ample public lands- for my family, these lands mean an affordable way to have active fun, conservation education (& history & science), self-care & wellness, spirituality, and adventure.

@itsJeffTiedrich @tedcruz Sadly the stories of post-Reconstruction Black Republicans are often overlooked bcuz people get confused by the history, but these folks are AMAZING and they were very busy civil rights & social justice activists. Even in the rural West, there was a really incredible movement.

@itsJeffTiedrich @tedcruz There's no excuse for those who think loyalty to the word "Democrat" helps - our history is GROSS. I am researching Black Republicans in 1880-1915; people supporting equality would have all been Republican or 3rd party. Then both parties get very racist around 1915.

@fukaren1 @MommyRoseHun111 @DonaldJTrumpJr 👏👏👏 it's insane to honor the most insidious enemy we ever had. It's time to finish this, peaceably if poss, but we must end tolerance of Confed culture, racist traditions, & heroification of agents of genocide + extreme human rights violations (even in context of those times)

State historical databases also maintain free access to many old newspaper archives. Ofc, https://t.co/pvhZIsv9zw is a good resource, but there are many free archives available. Great way to learn community history.

Need "proof" of systemic racism? Go to the Lib Of Congress newspaper archive. Search your community 1700-1920 for words like sheriff, police, arrest, rape, murder. The inequalities in description & punishment are stark. #blm #BlackHistory #PoliceBrutality https://t.co/KRmQh3Homj

It’s interesting that coverage of Minneapolis has stopped after days of peaceful protest.

But they’re still going. This is Minneapolis today.

@ncwhm Nicely done, #sethinmarketing!! We see you 👀

No more use of the word “slaves” when you mean “enslaved people”. It’s a small but conscious change in language, and how we speak frames how we think.

@akilahgreen Please let American Indian folks take the lead here. The tribes tend to be very focused on pragmatic priorities & we can help more by putting energy into MMIW/MMIP and economic justice & hearing native voices. Many elders where I live absolutely adore the Washington Redskins.

@denileisariver1 @JoshThomas87 There's still a K-Mart?!?! That makes my day lol!

@elliemce @Twitter please eliminate the Trending notice re #JohnKrasinskiIsOverPart the poster seems to clearly be in a health crisis, and since no harm whatsoever is being done to John's career, it is only making the chaos worse & potentially escalating a serious mental health situation.

@PiscesFish7 @JunkratQueen Ways she can't control. The numerous friends expressing concern here makes me think that she is very ill. If that's the case, much love to you Ellie...I have had a couple "breaks" with reality, there's a whole community who understands ♥️

[MontanaNerd @nerd_montana]

@PiscesFish7 @JunkratQueen Some communities can provide non-police welfare checks, especially if she has a history. Hopefully someone who knows her address can help. People in mental health crisis can fixate on current events in bizarre ways, I know her tweets sound awful but her mind may be twisting in
