Went to vote, it was pretty busy. I was more civil than usual to the republicans out front. I did tell them they should evaluate their life choices. I also asked one if she’d vote for Vivek if she could . She shut up fast.

Holy shit.

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

You know what’s more dangerous than a trans athlete? 7 Frat boys at Cornell University.

This relationship is AGAINST MY WILL‼️

Had to put the dog down Friday (old age) and the cat is very depressed. It’s breaking my heart. 😥

Daughter left for grad school. I immediately started turning her room into my office. Going through a box in the closet and found a bunch of MY graduate school papers and articles. This article peaked my interest. My social stress is pretty high right now, how’s yours?

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 The 1930 Watsonville Anti‑Filipino Riots is another forgotten chapter of American history. The violence that took place was disgusting. Pull up a seat🪑, my friends.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. This is what experts say you need to know:

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

My family is in the position , we have no choice but to crowd raise money to help my son "Jimmy", with cystic fibrosis pay medical bills. This is difficult to do because I myself have stage 4 cancer. This administration has made life so difficult for the sick . cota.org/cotaforteamj...

This is completely insane. Who’s really behind this? We need to know.

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

Let's all do everything we can to make sure this is smarmy, dishonest, MAGA Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01)'s last Fourth of July as a member of Congress - or in any elective office. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

Time to give my rat bastard of a congressman another call.

I quite enjoyed this…

"While the Violence Against Women Act prohibits states from directly charging for a rape kit, they are allowed to charge for anything not directly related to the exam—like STI testing or pregnancy testing ... 86% of women with private insurance will pay out of pocket for their sexual assault care."

So nothing happens to the Trump donor who got $15 million in tax dollars to wreck the reflecting pond, but if a taxpayer touches a piece of the floating debris from the disaster scene they get 10 years in prison. Trump’s dystopian America.

About the “Resist You Motherfuckers” stickers: the profanity is there for a reason. This moment (as we swing hard into the midterms), is urgent, and we’re past the luxury of polite language. optimisticsoap.com/product-page/resist-you-motherf-ers-sticker 🧼

Power is still out. I was already in a bad mood. My daughter is making her boyfriend come get her, he is a saint ( almost 1.5 hour drive each way). I’m so tired, but not in a I’ll go to bed type of way.

I just lost power in Richmond, wonder how the weather up in DC is?

If you like EDM you will love this even more. I can’t stop listening.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our vets.

Flesh-eating screwworms confirmed in Texas. 👇

I’d get my ears re-pierced for these.

Rain all week. Can’t sand and paint the front railings like I wanted. Can’t install the new ones because they got the order wrong twice. Decided to re-caulk the kitchen counters, been putting that off for a long time. Now I know why…

NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy? McDONALD: I'll take a different question

“I’m just so goddamn fed up with all this,” Gina Small, 29, said in a comment on the U.S. economy that one of her friends assumed was about the world’s ongoing humanitarian crises, another friend thought was about the weaponization of America’s military against its own people.

VA AG Jay Jones: "My team is carefully reviewing this unprecedented order and we are evaluating every legal pathway forward to defend the will of the people and protect the integrity of Virginia’s elections."

Since starting COTA for Team Jimmy, funds have been all but depleted by hospital stays and co-pays. I know this is a terrible time to be crowdfunding for anything. Any amount is greatly appreciate. COTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, funds raised are not considered income for families.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

futurism.com/artificial-i... I’m so over letting certain politicians making it seem like the people are a burden and the problem. Stop making it seem like we’re the ones looking for a handout. Stop giving away OUR money and taking away benefits we’ve already paid for.

When are people going to start boycotting Disney? If you put that $5-10 grand you spend on your Disney long weekend or week trip into your kids college fund instead you’ll be a lot happier later on. The kid won’t remember how miserable you all were anyways.

“All we have to fear, is fear itself” “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” “What the hell is a corner store?” Great Presidential quotes of our time

Long overdue.

Virginia, let’s talk about why you should vote YES on redistricting. I’ll say it plain: Republicans don’t deserve control of anything after what they pulled in 2025. In Congress, they called it the “big, beautiful bill.” Rural Virginia is living the ugly part. 🧵
