Sickened to wake up to another mass shooting encouraged by sitting representatives. Every single lawmaker who has spoken out/written laws against LGBT+ & drag shows should be sued for inciting this violence & causing these deaths.
We cannot allow this stochastic terrorism to continue. The GQP knows what they're doing; they claim the shootings are a "mental health problem" (stoked by them).
My heart is with the survivors, the families of the victims, & the first responders.
It irritates me SO MUCH when I see people theorizing that the reason Elno's eliminating so much staff is because of "dead weight".
This is painting the majority of all workers as lazy fffks while trying to perpetuate the myth that billionaires work alongside us in employment trenches.
The people that COULD quit, did.
The people that cannot quit are now hostages.
If a company has "dead weight", that's a management problem, an HR problem. Not a worker problem.
I don't filter a lot of words here but I'm about to kick "trump" and "musk" to the curb. I'm sick of all the hatemongering they foster on both sides. I've been guilty of commenting on their stupidity too but I'm done with it. This will limit my exposure to them to official news reports, which is already far too much. Buh bye.
YIKES! This is a bridge in Blasdell, New York.
An unbelievable 31 inches of snow has come down so far, and that could DOUBLE to more than 5 feet by the end of the #LakeEffectSnow.
This will be a crippling, paralyzing storm. Excess mortality a HUGE concern too.
When Republicans start the investigations, the media must ask, "Wait a minute, you said crime and inflation were the big issues. What's your plan for them?"
Don't give them ink or airtime for investigations until they provide policies and bills to achieve them
#politics
Nominal #retail sales growth is outpacing #inflation. Again, not what you expect to see in a recession. Retail sales is blue, CPI (a standard measure of inflatioin) is orange.
Please do not minimize what transgender people go through. They are under attack by RWNJs who are threatening them verbally and otherwise.
And don’t @ me saying it’ll be okay. Until these threats of violence against them and their caretakers are prosecuted to the full extent of the law, they are not fully safe. As a mother, I have every right to be concerned.
False claim about Iran protester executions goes viral with help from celebrities and politicians
To all new people here from the bird. Here’s my take. I started on the bird almost 15 years ago and used it daily for the first 10 years (regularly thereafter). Throughout that time I would almost always go in the way I walk into a dive bar in a city I don’t know. Not looking for a fight, but mentally prepared, but there were some good times. CoSo feels like my local bar and I love it. #cheers #welcometoCoSo
I think #CoSo should be renamed #CivilSocial…
So good for my blood pressure!
