As I try to be honest, yet diplomatic, dealing with stressful situations, I realize I am about as tactful as Cluracan expressing a foretelling in #TheSandman

Holy. Shit.
Boulder, Colorado passed an assault weapons ban in 2018.
The NRA sued the city and a judge struck down the ban 10 DAYS GO.
The Boulder shooter bought the gun 6 DAYS before the shooting.
These deaths were the direct result of the NRA’s intervention.

I ❤️ @Lin_Manuel ‘s #Hamilton, but just realized another musical b4 its time had non-traditional cast rewatching visionary Whitney H’s multi-ethnic version of R&H #Cinderella
Hoping entertainment doesn’t take another 20 years before the next triumph of #diversity over tradition.

Government regulation just landed a rover the size of a minivan on Mars.
Avoiding government regulation just froze 40 people to death in Texas.

To anyone stressing during this pandemic:
COVID is a real threat. But this blankety-blank pandemic has more repercussions. Everyone is anxious. And frustrated. And scared. Some may be paranoid.

For myself, I forgive them because I love them and I know it comes from a place of fear or pain. But it still rankles. It still hurts.
I’m a big girl. I’ll survive the stress. I just hate to see this scenario keep playing out with people I know and love. Or with strangers even.

I do have compassion for your concerns. I have respect for your choices. Now I’m praying for empathy—for each of us toward all of us.
Don’t let this effing virus divide us when we are so close to reuniting. I miss my people so much!

Before 11/9/16, (Always Regret), I NEVER posted anything even slightly political except “I voted”. The past 4 yrs I went 180 online. For me. Still relatively mild IMO.
Want to say I appreciate reading NON-political posts to break up my feed. If U post a joke or story, THANK U!

This is outrageous, preposterous, and fascist to an absurd extreme. DeSantis acts like Florida’s dictator.

There will be no update today.
At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech.
They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint.
They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..

Really, it’s pretty much his usual shtick.

What Trump's attempting isn't a putsch, which implies a violent overthrow of the government. It's not a conspiracy, which implies secrecy. It's a subversion of the rule of law. It's an undermining of the norms of self-government.
Q.: What term best captures what Trump's trying?

💯% agree with this opinion. Hoping Biden et al will consider this.

"Biden's legislation worked: Domestic violence decreased by 67% and murders by men of their female partners declined by 35%."

"It turns out turning the other cheek was just an invitation to abusers to continue the violence. But introducing consequences for abuse — lost marriages, jail time — saved lives."
