I'm pinning this post because it gives me hope and sometimes I need to remember that this won't last forever. But keep masking for now, please.๐๐
I will never understand how doctors, nurses, and HCWs just stopped believing Covid is dangerous.
The politicians, I understand. The general public, I understand.
But doctors and the medical community?? Really?? ๐ฅบ๐

He's going to stomp her. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ The turtle doesn't play around and he has a lot more experience and friends in high places.
Do I wish he was voted out? Yes. But if he is, it won't be because MTG facilitated it.
So, Rachel Powell (Pink Hat Lady, Grandma with an ice ax, Gaslighter extraordinaire) is in prison today, experiencing the consequences of her actions.

If you thought that a real-life friend was a decent guy, but then you find his Twitter by accident & he tweets a bunch of sexist, misogynistic crap, would you ghost him & forget about it? Or call him out & let him know it's trashy? ๐ค I am conflicted & I don't like confrontation.

@DGBassani
The similarities are uncanny. I am just so disappointed that, as a species, we really haven't become more intelligent in the last 100 years. We have better ways to protect ourselves, but the general public doesn't seem to care. So it's moot. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ I still mask and stay home.
@Sinfulskin2
Maybe, yes. But not on a large or unmanageable scale. It should still be done. We can't not indict him, out of fear of violent retaliation. He has to go down and pay for what he did.
@jabooka13
I have no patience for those people anymore. I can grudgingly forgive people who voted for Trump once, if they regret it. But voting for him twice and still supporting him goes so strongly against my values that I unfriend those people...on social media and in real life.
I have Hispanic friends & acquaintances who are not happy (understandably) w the fact that SCOTUS is allowing Texas to arrest & deport anyone who they think is not a citizen.
The problem? They think this is Biden's fault because he is currently POTUS. They plan to vote for tfg.
I'm trying to teach myself to enjoy Earl Grey tea, for the health benefits of the bergamot. But it's a struggle, not gonna lie. I'm using milk and honey. Anyone have any better suggestions?
How do you Earl Grey? ๐คโ
@JerasIkehorn
I'm glad they caved, but I feel like people who cry "fraud" when they know there is none should be facing criminal charges regardless of whether or not they back down from their false claims.
My dad and sister are vaxxed and boosted....but they don't wear their masks. I told them they should be still wearing their masks, but no. Too much hassle. ๐๐ Now they both have Covid. ๐๐

McConnell is trying to will that thought into existence and to discourage people into thinking Democrats are already beat, so we will stay home. Not gonna happen.
@kitchin_ann
I am a victim of long-term abuse & I have PTSD. I am still working on setting boundaries & knowing how much power I have within friendships & other relationships. It's hard to relearn this stuff after being submissive and afraid for so long. Sorry if I seem weak. Still healing.
@uberflair410
Heck yeah...especially these days. I have learned how important it is to find out a person's beliefs and values. Some of my friends turned out to have atrocious racist and classist viewpoints and I never knew before. It's important to have those conversations and remove toxicity.
@johns9986
@Angry_Staffer
Also, the man on the ground calms, because they finally paused their beating. He obviously was trying to defend himself and cover his head.
This is horrible behavior and these officers should be arrested & charged. They should not be on the police force, they should be in jail.

I'm really hoping for an actual prison. He needs to lose the ability to influence people and contact government officials, in our own government and foreign governments. He has information that could be used against this country. He needs to be watched very closely.

@Unconce44969908
He's older than I am, so probably not open to changing his ways. It just bugs me that he hides it. He obviously knows that it isn't socially acceptable and that I wouldn't like it. In fact, in conversations with me, he tries to act like he respects women. ๐๐
@politvidchannel
I love this!! We also need to focus on making sure we don't lose seats in Congress!! Every Democrat win will be helpful to getting this country back on track!! ๐๐๐
@tufpuffin
Yeah. It does feel powerful. I feel like this is a huge red flag, too. The abused part of me says that I should give him a chance to explain, but the survivor part screams, "Run!" I feel guilty because he says that I am nicer to him than other people are. Probably a red flag, too
An old classmate of mine made contact tonight on messenger. He told me he was saying goodbye to people because he had taken enough fentanyl to kill himself. I got the only location info he would give me (beach) and I called the sheriff in his town and reported him. ๐งต 1/3

This happens in California, too, unfortunately. Maybe less after the ACA, but I know people who have gone to Mexico for weight-loss surgery, cancer treatment, dental care, medicines, and plastic surgery because they couldn't afford it here.

It's not a dumb question. It's interesting and deserves more research. I personally wear glasses when I am out around people, too, which is not often. But it can spread through contact with ocular mucosa, too, which is why some masked people might still get it.

Sexy isn't about looks for me. It's about actions & knowledge. Sexy is a person who is intelligent, w/excellent communication skills & empathy. Someone who reads & enjoys learning. Someone who gives & shares. Not a Republican or religious zealot. That's what is hot to me.๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

#Unprecedented
is a great documentary. Skillfully captures TFG's essence. But honestly, TFG's essence is nauseating and terrifying. So dark, so manipulative, so cunning and focused only on himself and staying in power. He HAS to be held accountable. He HAS to be indicted.
#danger
My ex abused me, he belittled me. He told me I am too ugly for selfies & sharing them shows that I am begging for attention. It's taken a lot for me to get to the point where I love myself again. If I share a selfie, it's me sharing a moment with you. Is that okay? Is it healthy?
@1goodtern
It's heartbreaking, really. We depend on doctors to know about health issues, but so many of them are sticking their heads in the sand on this one. ๐ I feel like I am more educated about Covid than my doctor and that's sad.
@searcher1228
I wouldn't want to work for an employer who disrespected my time and dignity like that. Obviously they have a perverse way of lording their power over people and didn't care about people's job qualifications at all. No thanks. ๐

@MLAT07167996
Same. I think I stopped wearing my mask outside for a few days in May 2021 maybe? After I was fully vaccinated and my kids were, too. There was a short lull between variants and surges. But I have worn a mask consistently inside since 3/14/20 as well. I don't mind masking at all.
@BlackKnight10k
Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable. The system isn't really designed to work this way... she's just corrupt and not following the rule of law. Which seems to be a theme these days in the court system. It's horrifying.
@ginajellybeana7
Yes, he sounds obsessive. It's not responsible or realistic to have those kinds of feelings after one date. It also feels a little cheesy, like lines he uses on all women. If I were you, I would keep looking and move on from this one.
@politvidchannel
Which is hilarious. I heard he was paid millions to do it. I am guessing no one will make that mistake again. They must have lost a bunch of money. (Although, imo, they deserve that for hiring him, anyway.)
@DrGJackBrown
Well, in their very strict definition of gender, there are only men & women, so a woman with a hysterectomy becomes a man? If she can no longer qualify as a woman, there is no other option. I think they have to realize that they are painting themselves into a corner on this one.

I used to get so upset when I saw Lauren Boebert's tweets. Now I just feel nothing. She is so irrelevant and pointless. Not worth anyone's time. But yet, she keeps trying to insert her opinion. How long until she realizes and gives up?
I want to say thank you to everyone who saw my tweet & gave me your heartfelt advice. I don't think I have ever had a tweet w/so many likes & comments. I am trying to keep up & reply to everyone, but w/over 100 retweets, there are a lot of threads. Just know I โฅ๏ธ & appreciate you

NTA. Moving continents is a huge change and people with autism often don't deal well with changes, even small ones. Since she is self-harming and obviously in distress, I recommend finding a therapist to talk to, ASAP. Couples therapy could be good, too. Too much pressure on her.
@typocatCA
@heartsnark
I know. Many of them just are not interested in politics enough to understand. They think the president is the ultimate boss of the government & that he is allowing this. I will have to work hard to explain this to them. It's worth it, but I am worried they won't believe me.
@cook4beginners
@RonFilipkowski
I totally agree. He is way too self-important. I believe he will return to violence at some point, and hopefully he will be convicted next time. He's a ticking time-bomb.
So appreciative of all the new followers I am getting today. You all are really helping me out.
I often repost a lot of political news that I feel deserves more visibility, same with Covid updates. I post about the climate, books I am reading, and occasional pics of my cat. โฌ๏ธ
@TheLeoTerrell
I think you need to re-examine your numbers here. Lots of Republic voters have lost their lives to Covid and many of them who voted for TFG no longer support him at all.
@TheOGpianoGeek
I used to, but not anymore. I have heard things about them being able to record voices and use even single words to defraud people. So now I don't answer my phone unless I knew who was calling.
It used to be fun, though. ๐๐
@M8Void
I have recently been learning more about the Spanish Flu pandemic & how historic reports about it were not really representative of what happened. People were sick & affected for decades after the initial onset. Based on that, I am thinking 7-10 years, unless we get a better vax.
Anyone know what time we may hear about Judge Engoron's ruling tomorrow? Will it be shared or read in open court? Or will it be filed somewhere?
I want to be ready. ๐
@RonFilipkowski
I don't like to ever hear someone in Congress saying they are "taking back the power." They are there to represent us. The people have the power. The representatives should be doing what Americans want. They should never feel like they "have power" over the will of the people.
@Andie00471
You're absolutely right. I know (or have known) many "illegal" immigrants personally. They do not want to call attention to themselves. They just want shelter and work. They are too afraid to try to vote here and most don't even understand how it works.
I thought I would never hate someone's voice as much as I hate tfg's voice. But listening to the
#SCOTUS
arguments this morning, I am definitely adding Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh to my list. ๐คฌ
I told them that I only had his phone number, his name, and that he was at the beach. I hope it's enough. When I called back to check, they could only tell me that they were on the phone with him, trying to make contact, but that he was giving them information. 2/3
@WillMeyerPA
Omg, I would be furious if someone told me that. My youngest has autism. He was verbal, then went nonverbal for about 18 months. He went through ABA therapy and became verbal again. No one should ever suggest hitting them. How disgusting. ๐ ๐ ๐
@Dr_D_Man
@MLAT07167996
Thanks. You have also stopped people from getting it as well. ๐๐ So thank you, too. I wish more people were as considerate. This could have been over globally, but no. People are too selfish to wear a mask consistently or to social distance. It's disheartening.
