BROKEN SYSTEM: “There are 99 legislators in the Tennessee House of Representatives… 60 of them had no opponent in last November’s election.
Of the remaining races, almost none were competitive. Not 1 seat flipped from one party to the other.” 🇺🇸

Folks:
The story's in the states.
There's serious damage being done.
NC, Ohio, WI, TX, FL, Missouri...
Voting rights, abortion, books in schools & libraries: all at risk.
Don't let the fireworks mask the fact that you're needed to organize & work in your home state--& others!
Huge news in NC: a Democratic lawmaker is switching parties & giving the GOP a veto-proof majority in the legislature. This could have huge consequences for many issues where Cooper's veto has been essential, such as immigration & abortion rights. axios.com/local/raleigh/2023…

John Falcicchio, who abruptly has left his two jobs as Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor for Economic Development for DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, still has not explained his sudden departure after 8 years as top advisor to Bowser. But has changed his Twitter info. @politicshour @wcp

God wants us to trust Him completely. Trust is not worry, anxiety, reasoning, or fear. Trust produces rest, peace, hope, and a positive attitude. #JoyceQuote

Tyre Nichols was killed by Black, college educated cops who received extra training & passed required psychological exams
How’s that “We-don’t need-to-defund-the-police-we-just-need-a-better-trained-more-educated-more-diverse-police-force” thing working out?

Moments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner.
She is safe.
She is on a plane.
She is on her way home.

I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly cause I wasn’t wearing any makeup. And I really want y’all to get the help y’all need because makeup isn’t real. I’m beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like.

Warnock: "Just because people endured long lines ... the rain and the cold and all kind of tricks in order to vote, it doesn't mean that voter suppression doesn't exist. It simply means that you the people have decided your voices will not be silenced."

A lot of people in this thread are saying: “Yeah, it’s cringeworthy, but what’s specifically wrong with this?”
@franklinleonard laid it out perfectly but there’s another question that needs to be asked.
Why are you reading this thread?

The two largest US oil companies have raked in more than $30 billion in the last three months.
Don't tell me inflation is being driven by government spending or workers asking for better wages.

"We made this with sweet potatoes instead of russets, and it was absolutely amazing. Very delicious (both savory and sweet), and exactly as you promised: creamy potato and crusty cheesy edge in every bite. It was transcendent." nyti.ms/3tbdb5k
