Thinking about joining the cicadas this summer and just screaming for six weeks straight. You?

Republicans lost their collective minds when Obama won. McConnell stopped governing to block Obama at every turn. Billionaires freaked the fuck out. White supremacists were apoplectic.

We went from Obama to Trump because Republicans worked with Russia to destroy democracy.

Apropos of absolutely nothing on this app, here’s your semi-regular reminder that if some exercise after a little rest *really* worked for (commonly) post infectious syndromes, everyone would be better by now.

It’s the first thing everyone tries.

On 9/11 each year, my timeline fills up with posts of the World Trade Center and the lasers set in its place lighting the night sky overlaid with the words “Never forget.”

To me, that is not the right phrase. That isn’t the invocation. The call should be to “Remember the lost.”

This is Moca. He just learned some people think unions cause strikes and not the immense greed of corporations that refuse to pay employees a fair share despite owing the entirety of their profits to the labor of working people. 14/10

When I look at the video of a clearly struggling Mitch McConnell, I think about how scary and difficult that must be, and how hard McConnell has worked throughout his life to ensure that the end of people's lives are as difficult and scary a struggle as they can possibly be made.

Less: “Everything happens for a reason.”

More: “The cruelty you endured will never make sense because it was senseless.”

You’re not obligated to find a positive twist or make it make sense. There is peace in calling it what it is.

BREAKING: 26,000 flight attendants at American Airlines just voted to authorize a strike.

These workers haven't gotten a raise since 2019, and with 99% voting yes they're ready to win big.

Pilots at American Airlines just won a 46% raise, now it's flight attendants' turn.

I think we’ve learned the wrong things from our wealthy overlords. What we’ve learned is not to care.

B/c of a hurricane that could sweep more buildings into the ocean, the @ncdeq Threatened Oceanfront Structures mtg has been canceled for Aug. 30. Yes, the mtg should be canceled for safety's sake, but oh, the irony.

I'm in Chapel Hill and this is my 8-year-old's first day at school and she's on lockdown because of an at-large shooter on UNC's campus. I am so, so fucking tired of this stupid nightmare country.

[Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama]

There’s an ongoing armed suspect situation at UNC Chapel Hill, and twitter USED to be the best source of updates on school shootings, both for people outside and people trapped in lockdown. That Elon has destroyed the news capability of the site will get people killed.

[r @roarybe]

In 2001 my @GoHeels freshman got his first cell phone after wanting to call us on 9/11 as events unfolded. His elementary age boys have known shooter drills their entire lives. Fuck guns. Stay safe. My heart goes out to the #UNC community.
