Hopping over to the bird site to remind you to VOTE today. If you’re in Alabama, don’t forget the amendments. For the statewide Constitutional amendment, I’m voting YES.

Literally hopped back to this site solely to read a different tweet by Elie and was blessed with this.
Really nailed my hair. Respect. :)

That is… incredible.
Kelvin Kiptum set a new world record marathon time today at 2:00:35. That’s a 4:36/mile pace…for 26.2 miles — and he beat Eliud Kipchoge’s previous record by 34 seconds. He is only 23 years old! That’s one of the greatest athletic achievements ever.

Ugh!! Stop doing this with female leaders. “Lover her or hate her,” bullsh*t narrative. We don’t do this with male leaders. Only women. It’s forcing a diabolical dichotomy with our female leadership. You either love her or hate her? Really?
Love her or hate her, she's lookin' pretty darned good right about now, wouldn't you say?

Can we stop normalizing the couching of a compliment for a strong FEMALE leader?

I kind of thought the fervent “lock her up” from 2016 was pretty dark and aggressive. Maybe if we’d covered that dark and aggressive rhetoric appropriately at the time, we wouldn’t be here. But alas.

Thought was Steve Carell for a solid ten seconds.
This is how millions of people feel. It’s just going to take them all to stand up and say enough is enough

What AOC said. And we really really really really REALLY need journalists to report the news and not Republican talking points. (As I yell into the void for the one millionth time.)
Lead? More Democrats voted to keep government open than Republicans did. We had to drag your party kicking and screaming across the finish line to fund schools and pay servicemembers. And that was after you wasted the whole week on a joke impeachment hearing as shutdown loomed

Hakeem is so good at this. Big fan here. But also, he’s doing the work we should all expect from our elected officials.
This is a good finish from Jeffries

As a kid, I remember being terrified if I were at a friend’s house and their parents had beer in the refrigerator. Terrified.
DARE was so confusing as it attempted to turn kids into agents of the state. I remember one kid in my school got so confused by being told that alcohol was a drug they turned their parents in for using the drugs when their parents were drinking a six pack. slate.com/human-interest/202…

I want.
This is inside the Sphere in Las Vegas. This may be the most insane concert venue ever built

I have no words.
The final amount is in. The State of Alabama will spend $1.082 billion for a new prison, the most expensive prison ever built in the United States. $270,500 per bed.

What is the creepiest movie you’ve ever seen? Doesn’t even have to a horror movie per se. Just left you feeling extremely unsettled.

I said nothing about an ID. Though, if you want to have that conversation, I’m happy to do so.
Replying to @MilamForAL
I am baffled that POC are unable to get an ID in the 21st century.

Asinine. We have workers in this country who work 12-hr shifts. In medicine, factories, etc. They’d have to take a vacation day OR manage to get to their polling place and back to their job in a very limited amount of time (often impossible).
Replying to @MilamForAL
Make plans to vote that day. It’s once a year. Election integrity is of paramount importance.

Exactly. Which makes the gutting of the VRA all the more infuriating.
Replying to @MilamForAL
It's the modern version of poll taxes and poll tests. They make it so difficult hoping that people will just choose not to participate.

Notice I haven’t mentioned race at all. Dr. Interracial seems a fine bot. 😒
I continue to be baffled at how many Alabamians don’t recognize our own voter suppression. We *only* have a 12-hr window on a work/school day, to cast our votes. And we must get our bodies to the polling location to do so.

There is no early voting, there is no mail-in voting, there is no same day voter registration, there is no assistance for voters with disabilities, too often polling locations change last minute.

.@SenSchumer is threatening to keep the Senate in over the weekend unless @SenTuberville agrees to allow cloture votes today on several senior military nominees
