they should perhaps turn their attention to the gibberish that has come out of Rump in the last couple months. He has genuinely seemed to be high on drugs, or have significant dementia. Jesus with this bullshit.

TRUMP: I am going to drop daisy-cutter bombs on Seattle just cuz BIDEN: I'll have the Bob Salad — ha, COBB Salad, whoops. NYT: Biden's Gaffe Sends Shockwaves Through Democratic Party; Trump Pledges Infrastructure Changes to Northwest

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.

I went home to Oklahoma and my dad's neighborhood now has a roundabout. I commented "how European of you", and he made me get out of the car.

Being real, there is a significantly non-zero chance that NONE of us will survive a second Trump administration and I promise you that is not nearly the hyperbole it might sound like

"you will outlive them" my guy thousands of people will not. Alito and Thomas already have blood on their hands after overturning Roe. Not everyone they have harmed has lived. Not everyone will live. They are killing people right now, today.

It's harder to count victims of cuts to the social safety net but they're out there, too. They sickened and or died of stress related and treatable chronic illness they could not afford to treat that was exacerbated by constant precarity.

Like... "you will outlive trump and Thomas and alito" buddy are you sure about that cause there's tens of thousands of victims of trumps shitty handling of covid who who would argue that point except they're dead. They did not live through his administration.

The likelihood of that outcome decreases markedly if Trump wins the election and ships me and millions of others off to concentration camps. So maybe skip the “silver lining” horseshit and just vote Blue no matter who this November.

You're going to outlive Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito which means you'll get to celebrate their death and piss on their graves if you want

As it turns out, they do not serve breakfast all day. So, my hunt for flapjacks persists.

Way to go, rando Hollywood AirBnB “guests” from elsewhere, you’ve now made me tired of fireworks. The dogs in my building are so terrified, and it’s pissing me off.
