Just installed this app. Didn’t realize how many of my friends I was missing from the old place until I logged in here!
Hello, friends! The world has gone to shit, but I’m happy to see you again!

Lodging a complaint:
When I caught covid in 2022 & was stuck in my room for a week, Elizabeth II died & I got to hang out with Irish Twitter.
This weekend I just had a head cold, but I was still stuck in my room for two days with nothing. Not even random CEOs caught cheating at a Coldplay concert.

This was really hard because I have two answers. But this was, and still is, the album I play all the way up and belt out the words, no matter who can hear me.

One of the priests at the March at Selma was my grandpa’s cousin, who would go on to be a bishop. This is the kind of Catholic I was raised to be and I’m thankful that Leo agrees with me. (But it’s still hard going to Mass with the MAGA assholes.)

Ok. It’s 1am central. It’s a wrench to go to bed because the game has been awesome, but I don’t normally root for either of these teams. Someone text me when it’s over.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.
But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

#stl Any idea what’s happening on Gravois by Grant’s Farm? Two family members were trying to get home and had to go crazy ways to get around the roadblock by city police. (This is very much not the city.)

1.4 Million Missourians would be forced into new districts by Gov. Kehoe’s proposed gerrymander, changing their representation not through an election but by unconstitutionally redrawing our borders, dividing neighbor from neighbor just to steal more power for themselves.

Really hope there’s enough for us MO refugees.
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.

Yes! We shouldn’t avoid progress for fear that it will bring Trump-level backlash against it. That is what all appeasers tell themselves and it never works. It’s why James Buchanan and Neville Chamberlain are history’s chumps, instead of wise statesmen.
Excellent thread. I'll just add that there's a long history of blaming liberals for reactionary political dynamics that were cultivated by coordinated political campaigns by the far right. There is no law of nature that produces "backlash politics." It's politics (and propaganda) that produces it.
To put all this much shorter: the right's vaccine denialism is not the left's fault. They didn't arrive at that skepticism because of something the left did. They SAY that, of course, because they blame the left for everything, but liberals don't have to take them at their word! They lie a lot!

Gotta tell some other people this - a woman I know (kind of) has a new business where she piles hay and pumpkins on your front porch. Top tier is $1300.
What’s not included? Design, hay bales, and clean up.
