I think they're great photos!
Not great pics but it was cool to see this pair of red tailed hawks this morning #birds #usbirds #mabirds
Yeppp
I think the brutality of the photos along with the lack of consent is viscerally triggering for a lot of us, again as a microcosm of what is happening in our country, and who is perpetuating it.
Oh yea, that is a really good description. It rough, y'all

Movement helps me process it all, even one songs worth of butt shaking helps. There's too much in my head to meditate. I screamed and punched a pillow a few times yesterday and that helped for awhile
I feel like a hummingbird sipping furiously going from outrageous flower to outrageous flower. The plant is the feed, the news, interactions, sometimes sweet [a puppy!?]often bitter [righteous anger]
My disability would not interfere with my life as much if I had any money to throw at it, even just vitamins would help my brain fog ffs
we don't talk enough about the impact of poverty or being just on the edge of poverty as a disabled person, and what that can do to disabled peoples' mental health. If I didn't have the "benefits" I receive, I would not be okay, and that's hard knowing that traditional work isn't accessible to me.
It is exactly dictator sh*t
Adam Schiff, James Comey, Letitia James, Lisa Cook. in every single one of those instances Trump has been told that there is no case, but he continues to push it.

it's okay to say it, media. it's political persecution. it's authoritarianism. it's impeachable. it's dictator sh*t.

This is absolutely bullshit.

Not a single person other than the highjackers on 9/11 made a decision to allow Al-Qeada into their lives. Drugs kill. But it’s a choice people make and a risk they accept.

This stupid statement is an insult to the 9/11 families and those of us who answered the call.

anyway; the point is just, the Rs are the party of white men in a way Ds are not, and that is a good thing for Ds, though there's anxiety about it in a racist, sexist society for obvious but depressing reasons.

This is all probably amplified by the fact that Janet Mills is a pretty neat stand in for the Democratic establishment. Makes it easy for the contest to become about avatars.

#FederalWorkers are the backbone of many crucial services. Now they may need a little help - because of the #GOPShitdown .

Go Governor!
As your governor, I promise you one thing above all else: We will never, ever, under any circumstances, bend a knee to this autocrat. Ever.
Not half. They're just a very loud minority

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
Maybe they won't rule on his shadow docket request re: deploying the guard in Chicago
This is something that academia in the US have consistently ignored when wringing their hands over our homelessness crisis

To the point that our current data is pretty useless

Housing should not be all investment vehicle!
Shelter is something required for basic survival. Just like food, water and oxygen. ALL of those things are naturally available and have been for thousands of years until some elite assholes said they “owned” it all and now we have to work for them to survive. Just so they can be rich and powerful.
"When researchers dig into the reasons, one factor emerges consistently across continents and income levels: housing.

Not as shelter, but as an economic burden so severe that it crowds out the space — financial, temporal, and psychological — needed to raise a family."
Important thread for sure
‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.
