This is deeply disturbing. Is he escalating from verbal threats to ordering physical violence?

@WeThePeople

I have seen several Biden supporters floating sexist arguments why the nominee shouldn't be a woman.

@SteppinRazor

Wait. WHAT??? 👀

@Lili

I hear you. I have difficulty taking news breaks because I fear the outcome of this slow motion Constitutional Crisis. I waver between obsessively checking the news and stocking up for the Trumpocalypse. 👀

@Lili

Yes. I feel that way about his entire illegitimate presidency - I regret its existence and regret everytime I see him speak or read about another of his 💩show actions.

@Lili

Fortunately we now know that raking is key, so all that training is moot, right?

@Mauve_matelot

That is stunning. 💜

Hey, Wil! Hope your day is getting off to a good start! I accepted a job offer this morning, so mine went well.

It has been a good many years since I rolled dice in a D&D game. It has been a few years since I played MUDs. Nowadays I mostly chitchat on SM sites (lately mostly CoSo) because grinding levels lost its allure.

But I can honestly say that when I was into games, I never played a specifically Christian game. I suspect I would get banned very quickly!

Looks like Oregon is also issuing Feb. benefits early due to inability to pay next month. So she will be OK until March. After that...

@tyghebright 2 of my closest friends are lesbians. They are getting older and one is having some mobility challenges. It never even dawned on me that a retirement community might ban them, should they decide to move into one. I try to be aware, but sometimes my privilege shows. No one should have to contend with hate.

I know they have had to deal with hate their whole lives, and that's so wrong because they are they nicest people I know.

We still have so far to go as a society. 😕

@tyghebright

That is so distressing. Where are elderly LGBTQ people to go? 😡

They are in a cult. Thus, when anyone wakes up from it, it is a good thing imho.

According to a poll, 45*’s approval rating is down amongst his base.
