After 15 yrs, think I’ll leave this cesspool of garbage ads, bots & vitriol. Exodus of many eloquent voices is too much. Kicker is Musk running this as a disinfo machine. Guess I’ll try #Bluesky, #Threads but prob just enjoy more real-life experiences! Fare thee well!

Milestone in #Helene recovery! Thanks to all the people who have been working nonstop to make this happen. Now, let’s get these restaurants open and filled with diners!

What could go wrong with an extreme Christian Nationalist as head of our Defense Department? I’m sure it’ll be just fine. 😒
Yesterday Trump announced he's nominating Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense. Hegseth's a prominent Fox News personality & veterans advocate, but he also has strong ties to the Christian far right that I've not seen fully exposed yet. Here's a thread w/ receipts... 1/

Frank and stark analysis from someone who knows what’s up.
Spent last week licking wounds. Now it's time to get to work. Some thoughts on the path forward. In short, we need to rebuild the left. No band aids. Admit that our policies don't connect with people emotionally. Stop being so afraid of populist fights. Build a bigger tent.

TRUMP WINS AMERICA LOSES WHAT ELSE IS NEW

Trump 2.0 will be stacked with the most brazen Q-Anon madmen possible. Perhaps this is what it takes: an actual #idiocracy that tears the nation down to the ground?
So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time. When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime. What then? Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden? You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy. You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military. You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda. You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy. You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for. You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming. You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation. You just made women less safe and less free. You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now. You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket! You just ushered in Fascism. Because your cereal costs more. Congratulations.

We are set for dark times. Trump 2.0 will bring an alignment with authoritarians worldwide, evangelical fundamentalism at home & a free for all economically for the rich. And @SCOTUS will be packed for 30 years. I don’t care about why. This is real.
Regardless of who wins, this will be your next 4 years in the USA.

Fuck anti-vaxxers, we are not letting these loons open the gate to controlled diseases that science has almost eradicated. #VoteBlue
Vaccines are good. RFK Jr. is bad.

These bastards are callously sending women to die for their religious beliefs. Simple as that. #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights #VoteBlueAsifYourLivesDependonit #VoteBlue #Vote
Abortion bans kill another woman. On the day of her baby shower, Nevaeh Crain went to the ER bleeding & feverish. She was diagnosed with sepsis, a deadly infection - but her fetus still had a heart beat. She was sent home. After her 3rd ER visit, she died. propublica.org/article/nevae…

Tim Walz crushed it as always here in #Asheville! “150 hours until Election Day” (fewer now), act accordingly. #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024 @KamalaHarris @VP @Tim_Walz

Yes! Clearly the best choice for #NorthCarolina and America is #Harris_Walz2024. #VoteBlue
The Raleigh @newsobserver, the largest newspaper in North Carolina, endorses Kamala Harris writing, “On issues most important to North Carolina, our choice for president is Harris.” newsobserver.com/opinion/art…

It’s a dogfight between continuing our democracy, flawed as it is, and surrendering to white nationalism & oligarchical authoritarians. #VoteBlue #HarrisWalz2024 ##VoteForOurFuture
Trump isn't expecting to win, he just wants it to be close so he can cry foul and incite violence from his supporters. We can't just defeat Trump on election day, according to @TheRickWilson on @msnbc, it has to be "a devastating wipeout".

#JDVance is an absolutely fake POS and quite possibly the worst VP candidate in history. #VoteBlue #Harris_Walz2024 #Vote

Thank you @chefjoseandres! We saw your work with @WCKitchen here in Western NC after #Helene. Amazing, and you guys do this anywhere people are suffering. Thank you!
People of America…I voted today! Happens it was for this great guy @Tim_Walz for VP and my friend @KamalaHarris for President. They believe that the American dream should be possible for everyone, including immigrants like me. Who’s with me?! Go to iwillvote.com and make your plan to vote on or before Nov 5!

Fuck you, @NCGOP. These craven lies have hurt us here in Western NC. We see every one of you, we will remember if you run for statewide office. #Helene
So it turns out @NCHouseSpeaker straight-up lied on Monday, when he claimed no one at the White House has offered any help. Official records show he was contacted multiple times by email, and his office even had a call with the Biden admin. newsobserver.com/news/state/… #ncpol

Talking about Arnold Palmer’s dick size is just, well, pure #Trump. WTF?! #VoteBlue #Harris_Walz2024
