Me: I moved away from [my hometown of 30+ yrs] to distance myself from the prevalent culture, which can be suffocating.

Other person: Yeah, I lived there for a time and it's really awful.

Me: Don't talk about my hometown that way, it's beautiful and unique and you know nothing.

As wildfires continue to devastate LA, remember that price gouging on essentials during a state of emergency is illegal.

Stay safe, listen to your local emergency officials, and report suspected price gouging to my office at https://t.co/hJNolDs8PF or local law enforcement.

Wealthy tax cheats are robbing $150 billion — that’s billion with a “b” — from the public each year.

The Inflation Reduction Act gave IRS the tools it needed to crack down on rich tax evaders. And every single Republican voted against it.

Make 2025 the year you switch from Goodreads to StoryGraph! Bezos owns Goodreads, and StoryGraph has a search function that actually works, has a terrific interface, and is black-woman-owned! An easy and free choice!!

[Reagan Gomez @ReaganGomez]

Sure would’ve been nice to hear that 25% of our nation’s debt was accumulated in a single term, 4T5’s first term (bcuz of wealthy tax cuts) during the election! This is good but why didn’t we hear this during the election🤦🏽‍♀️

New reporting suggests the Harris campaign squandered a lot of the $1 billion it took in. A lot of people lined their pockets, raising the question: How much of the Harris campaign was essentially a scam that took the money of desperate anti-Trump voters? https://t.co/d8v97Eona1

Without a shadow of a doubt, all those keeping silent or moaning about complexity (not to mention worse) this year would have done the same during slavery, apartheid, Jim Crow & the Holocaust. Retrospective condemnation is safe & easy. You're doing now what you would have then.

Every news outlet in America should spend every day leading with examples of Trump's pronounced mental and physical decline. It can't be hidden or sanewashed or both-sidesed anymore. It is *the* story of the election.

[rob delaney @robdelaney]

Appropriate that he ordered the strike with American bombs from American soil. Our tax dollars helped murder Lebanese & Palestinian civilians again today, rather than pave a road or hire a teacher.

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

45 doctors holding prestigious positions and with long, lauded careers under their belt wrote to Biden saying every single one of them saw young children sniped to death in Gaza with deliberate shots to head and chest. Almost complete silence and some of them under death threats

[Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP]

We're calling on @POTUS to draw the red line and end the shipment of all weapons and artillery to Israel.

It is imperative that the violence that has claimed so many civilian lives comes to an end immediately.

200 days of this in Gaza and some of you want to pretend like the problem is students protesting in America.

Anytime I cook and drain noodles, I think "What a waste of good pasta water" and anyway I think about pasta water a lot

[amber @dingusofficial]

I wish there were more things that made us all say fuck work and go outside at the same time

[collagen machine broke @chronicallybeee]

it should not be radical to think everyone deserves safety, shelter, food, clean water, and healthcare.

[Hampton Institute @HamptonThink]

78% of people in the US are now living paycheck-to-paycheck, while the 400 richest people added another $500 billion to their $4.5 trillion net worth last year.

Capitalism is working as intended, and this will only get worse if we allow it to continue.

Hey, Jon? Jon Stewart?

This is how you do it.

Maybe have a coffee with your good friend Stephen Colbert and get your head on straight.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Over 800 police officers were at the parade today and over a million civilians who were allowed to be armed. Yet they couldn't stop a dozen people from being shot.

More guns makes us less safe. #ChiefsParade

[I appreciate you. @DeeLaSheeArt]

This is unreal. Theres 1.3M Palestinians packed in Rafah because they were told it was a “safe zone” but we can clearly see it was a guise to lure them into a densely populated area to kill as many as possible. I can’t believe we are witnessing a holocaust of this magnitude

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

On a very serious note. Those QT’s showed a lot of us are not well. I truly believe we (the colloquial we) are in a mental health crisis together. We’re all collectively suffering from either burnout, depression, or fatigue from life events since 2020.
