Please spare a kind thought for all the Biden administration appointees who will have to watch in horror as their replacements gleefully destroy their legacy in service of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. #Politics
@MidnightRider Excellent analogy. In dogs, it’s “displacement behavior” as in, “Look, Mom! I brought you my favorite chew toy (but did a poop on the rug.)”
@cassandra17lina It was what in football is called a misdirection play. Some fell for it, others ran toward it, media and church leaders promoted it.
Our presidential election outcome can be explained by the fact that millions of voters placed a higher value on harming “others” than benefiting themselves and their loved ones. #Politics
@cassandra17lina People really don't care, they just want people to be able to live their lives. This hate mongering is just nonsense.
@misslovelymess I remember when Republican North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory pushed the hateful “bathroom bill. There was a MASSIVE backlash from businesses, academia, sports leagues, and tourism interests. We voted his a** OUT and flipped the seat BLUE with the election of Democrat Roy Cooper who was term-limited and now replaced with another Dem, Josh Stein.
@CanisPundit wow… the only other big name who blocked me over there was George Conway after I said mean things about Kellyanne.
Raimondo’s new mission: Leave no cash for Trump
The Biden administration is aiming to commit nearly every unspent dollar in its $50 billion microchip-subsidy program before President-elect Donald Trump takes over in January, an effort that would effectively cement a massive industrial legacy before the GOP can reverse course.

As the days grow shorter and our fears loom larger, it’s helpful to step away from the stresses of the world and take a walk in nature. The stresses will still be there when you return, but your mindfulness will make you better equipped to deal with them. #SelfCare #MentalHealth
Common emotional responses to global conflict
* Grief
* Depression and Sadness
* Fear and Anxiety
* Anger
* Guilt
All of these are completely normal, and there’s no limit to what other feelings can come up. You might experience emotions like jealousy, pride, embarrassment, hope, and more. Many people feel conflicting emotions at the same time.
The #Project2025 plan to gut #SocialSecurity and #Medicare should terrify all Americans regardless of age. If you’re “young” and “healthy” and shrugging it off, please consider how you’d ever pay off your student debt, buy a home, start a business, put your kids through college, or save for retirement with your parents and in-laws dependent on YOU for their housing, medical care, and other expenses. A great nation doesn’t leave its elders to drown in destitution after a lifetime of hard work.
