@WalshFreedom @KamalaHarris From your tweet to God's ears. And the voters'.

[Michele Norris @michele_norris]

The Washington Post’s decision to withhold  an endorsement that had  been written & approved in an election where core democratic principles are at stake was a terrible mistake & an insult to the paper’s own longstanding  standard of regularly endorsing candidates since 1976.

[Michele Norris @michele_norris]

As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Donald Trump just said he wants to be a dictator. Retweet to make sure all Americans, and especially the media, see this.

NEW: Two former Trump White House officials told me they had to show voter data to Trump to get him to release disaster funding to CA wildfire victims. He released it after learning that he had as many GOP supporters in Orange Co. as he did in Iowa. https://t.co/VU9fbGsOBl

He’s not just running for president; he’s running from prison.

When my dad was killed in 2014, someone sent me this; and I found it be a source of comfort in that, over time, I would be able to breathe again — and it was true. Bless you my friend for taking care of your son and bless the legacy of the life he lived.

Grief Comes in Waves —

As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it’s some physical thing. Maybe it’s a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it’s a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.

In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don’t even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you’ll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what’s going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything…and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.

Somewhere down the line, and it’s different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O’Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you’ll come out.

The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don’t really want them to. But you learn that you’ll survive them.

And other waves will come.

And you’ll survive them too.

Also, Trump's mother was an immigrant, and so was his paternal grandfather, who was dodging mandatory army service. Later Fred Trump made a fortune supplying food, shelter, and whores to miners.

I love this man whoever he is

[Nothing lasts forever! @Nto79549105]

@harris_wins JD Vance is creeping into the bizarre territory of wanting to monitor women's menstrual cycles. The man who once opposed Trump is now obsessed with controlling women’s bodies. It’s not just disturbing—it’s downright dystopian.

BREAKING: Mike Pence has announced that he cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump. Retweet to make sure every American sees this clip

[Wordweaverlynn 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) @Wordweaverlynn]

Trump is delusional. He said that if Harris is elected, HE will withhold federal fire aid from California. Umm, dude, if she is elected, you won't have the power to do that. Not even if you throw your Big Mac at our governor.

[Maggie 🇺🇸⚾️ @LACentrist]

So, in today’s “address” to the people of SoCal standing in Ranchos Palos Verde, Trump stated that he would withhold federal fire aid from CA if Harris is elected. He called our Governor, “Newscum” and made a bunch of false statements about crime and voting.

Name calling is shows a lack of empathy, insecurity, and a desire to assert superiority over others. He also did this to dehumanize our Governor.

Imagine putting peoples’ homes and lives at risk because you aren’t getting your way. He used coercive language and tactics today.

This is what fascist dictators do.

Trump is unfit to be President and he demonstrates it every time he speaks.

[Wordweaverlynn 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) @Wordweaverlynn]

Oh HELL yes.

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Trauma doesn't make people stronger. It damages their nervous system. It hijacks their digestive track. It keeps the person in a constant loop of hypervigilance. To tell someone they are stronger because of trauma is to deny what it has cost them to survive.

Boar's Head is exactly why liberals were so 'hysterical' when trump started deregulating the food industry.

@raynefq Correction: I had to buy the ebook. Thanks.

[Wordweaverlynn 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) @Wordweaverlynn]

@raynefq Thanks for the wisdom and for naming the author. Adding her book to my wishlist and you to my Twitter friendslist.

[Wordweaverlynn 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) @Wordweaverlynn]

Trump is making his plans 100% clear. Don't let this happen. You can stop this.

[Republican Accountability @AccountableGOP]

Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”
