Good morning. Have seen this picture ‘everywhere’ this morning. How I wish I could print it and carry it with me all.the.time. 🙂 Thanks, NW. Thanks for keeping the door open for us. Chips, if you’re ever around,we miss you (and Danny) and hope you are okay.
Not sure who and what you can vote for? Head over to https://t.co/SHxg6ael0O to look up your state, learn who's running to represent you, which measures you can help decide, and more. Read up, and get ready to vote on November 6.
So complex, dire…warming waters + acidification + pollution are creating mass dead zones + reefs are threatened. Animals either die out or colonize other places so you get local die-offs with animals trapped by warm water. It’s a global pattern e.g. tree lines are shifting north. ‘Thermoclines’ are shifting. Good news heard today though: WYSS Institute is partnering with organizations to give $1 billion for habitat preservation around the world.
Rep Eric Swalwell tweet: “You screwed people with pre-existing conditions. You screwed people with pre-existing conditions. You screwed people with pre-existing conditions. You screwed people with pre-existing conditions. You screwed people with pre-existing conditions.”
-For me fun to know he’s from an Iowan Republican family and father is Chief of Police. Straight talker!
"I'm here today because of the men and because of the women who were lynched, who were humiliated, who were discriminated against, who were suppressed, who were repressed and oppressed…I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain."
STOP BANNON:
Last night big shot Christiane Amanpour talking to Colbert…said the white Nationalist movement represented by Trump is being pushed globally and that Bannon is in the center of it. We knew this but time to STOPBANNON from speaking anywhere and everywhere, wherever.
Small or big venues: S-S-STOP BANNON!!!
This is such a great video. And it's also, according to a ton of research, the single most powerful message to motivate young voters: that there is power in numbers, and young people are the biggest generation, and if they vote, they will win.pic.twitter.com/VHWSxSfKcK
Snippets from our Joe:
“Fear and falseness as a midterm strategy…this is not your Republican Party…never thought I’d see neo-nazis crawling out from under the rocks…chanting the same bile as….in Nuremberg…distorted world view…(this) president assigns moral equivalence. Our children are watching…listening: Gen Z (15 to 21 years old) has the worst mental health of any generation…depresion and anxiety…their number #1 fear is being shot in school…we will not remain silent!! we must speak up!! As Democrats we have 2 jobs: Bring back civility…restore the basic Economic bargain…restore dignity to the political discourse…it starts with the right to bargain for your own worth. Education is the most consequential thing we can possibly do…6 out of 10 jobs will require something more than a high school degree. Millions of Americans understand what the ACA means now….(Heitkamp’s) opponent supports protections – but not the ACA!! (huh?)…mind boggling! Healthcare goes well beyond fight over ACA…(GOP) has never liked Medicare, never really liked Medicaid…they created a $1 billion 900 million deficit (so now want) to eviscerate Medicare…ready to cut Medicare by half a billon dollars.”
“IT’S TIME TO TAKE IT ALL BACK!”
Not trying to criticize but Dana Bash always tries to hew to some level of both-sides stance. Revealing about the moment that she can't do anything but call Trump's groteque video racist. pic.twitter.com/JpKhMvIOMV

86% of people agree Congress is corrupt. But, a new generation of leaders promise: To protect the vote. No suppression. No gerrymandering. No foreign influence. No dark money. And more. Add your name: https://t.co/NMHC7PJFlLpic.twitter.com/2Cv5LGywCk
I think of the story Oprah told about the man who put on his only suit and tie and walk six miles to vote, only to be told boy you are at the wrong place, so he walk six more miles and was told boy you are at the wrong place. That story touch my heart and each time I go to vote I think of those people who fought and died for my right to vote.
It is not written in stone that the United States of America must always exist. It is not guaranteed that the country that goes by that name will always be a democracy. You cannot assume the greatness or strength or stature we have grown accustomed to will always endure.

Trump Administration Decides To Stop Funding Efforts to Counter Far-right Extremists:
“Just a few days after the nation was rocked by a Trump supporter’s attempted bombing spree and an anti-Semitic shooter killing 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue, the Trump administration has reportedly decided to end an Obama-era program dedicated to countering domestic terror.”
Trump administration has apparently elected not to renew the U.S.’s Countering Violent Extremism Grant Program.program:
“Launched in 2016 and overseen by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the initiative was the first of its kind: a federal grant program dedicated solely to combating the right-wing extremist groups and ideologies that have grown in prominence over the past few years.” https://thinkprogress.org/trump-administration-guts-homeland-security-efforts-to-cou.
-Dicktraitor-Russian-Asset is a serious United States National Security threat from start to finish.
thank fucking god we elected the heartless fucked-up bastard who just ordered the military to fire on rock-throwing children a thousand miles away, and not the lady who was careless with three emails, holy fucking shit what a living nightmare that would have been, believe you me
listen up, people: on November 6, we're all getting a rare second chance to vote for taco trucks on every corner. let's not fuck this up like we did last time
WE HAVE GOT TO PULL THIS OUT! 6 years of Martha Fucking McSally is UNAMERICAN! Not ok! How many times did she vote to take away healthcare? PLENTY! SHe voted for those tax cuts for billionaires and will try to correct it all by gutting SS and Medicare!
Of note: The Green Party candidate was at 6% in the last NBC/Marist poll of the AZ Senate race. That's a sizable amount of support potentially coming Sinema's way. https://t.co/pHJTxL5Cyo
There used to be some conflicting yeas or nays about her perspectives in the past, but been so long since I saw any of her tweets, I forget what they were!
What we learned today: The president of the United States is more worried about women and children with rocks than right-wing racist and anti-Semitic extremists with guns.
It is totally unlikely that that tweet had anything to do with their decision. That said, I am compelled to thank you them and throw a little hint that the dynamic duo of Ava and Oprah are my first choice, by far, to bring it to the ‘silver screen.’ 🙂
BLACK PANTHER was filmed in Georgia. BLACK LIGHTNING is filmed in Georgia. THE WALKING DEAD, too. List goes on. A lot of films and TV are made in Georgia. And they employ a lot of Georgians. https://t.co/ITQPY3nzWF
This piece of S#^+ is trying so start Civil War, second act…
No migrant is likely to throw a rock at a soldier from a nation where she or he wants asylum. But if they do, this president considers that worthy of a death sentence without due process. Imagine police hearing this, and applying that illogic to protests. pic.twitter.com/x15CWRBmpz
Andrew Gillum: "The president’s called me a thief—if I'm stealing anything, it's hearts and minds. We're going to win that race, frankly, because of that reason." https://t.co/Yr7Vd9Rv8j
If young people vote in numbers anywhere near the percentages of other generations they can get any policy they want. College affordability, climate, civil rights, healthcare, immigration whatever your generation decides. It’s your government if you just take it over.

They are closing with racism because everything they did, from trying to take away healthcare to the ripoff tax cut is unpopular. And what they will do next, like cutting Medicare and Medicaid is even more unpopular. They have nothing to run on but this rubbish.
More than 30 articles in the past few days on some of Russia's most popular news sites have suggested that the next US election is a prelude to a new US civil war.
This is a must-read. Too many Democrats in the Senate are misremembering the history on the judicial wars. Harry Reid is a hero. Without him, Trump would be jamming through even more judges than he already is.https://t.co/ZU0wjK4eQW
FACT CHECK: The cop-killer featured in Trump's incendiary video blaming Democrats for his release was actually released by Joe Arpaio's office in 1998 and re-entered the country during the George W. Bush admin https://t.co/SXR9OuWQJBpic.twitter.com/VUcbvEGjnw

Friends, I know Chips had a policy about donations, but I am going to try this. If NW says its a “no no” then ignore or NW can delete. 🙂
My granddaughter’s school is raising money (don’t remember what for). Bottom line they are trying to get one donation ($1/one dollar) from all 50 states. If they get all 50 states, they get to slime the principals! 🙂 The seven states they are missing are: NM, Montana, Kansas, SD, WI, Mississippi and Vermont. If any of you have a contact in any of those states, please help her/us. The link will be below. You can click on ‘Pledge’, then click on Flat Donation.
On. “Russia’s most popular news sites have suggested that the next US election is a prelude to a new US civil war.”
Yeh while GWB created Iraq to get out the vote the Trump-Putin dystopia factory is using refugees in a mad attempt to drum up a vote. And trying on the old anti-Dem 1968 playbook. Meanwhile we’ve seen faithful Dicktraitor followers jail and abuse babies, mow down Americans in churches, mail bombs, now threaten to kill vulnerable refugees who just want to live. NO they’re not going to throw rocks (a) and our troops cannot shoot on our soil (b). Though Trump goons may be planning to throw a rock or two. And Putin knows fine well that ordinary protesting Russian people are not against ordinary Americans – they’re not.

Gosh, our POTUS44 and FLOTUS44 is the best. Michelle told Parker she nailed it.

Sometimes Twitter can be a positive force. Of course our Forever First Lady would reach back out to Parker to show love.

Correction: Republicans have run up an additional $1 TRILLION, 9 BILLION deficit.
Wrong again! This brain somehow not wrapping itself around the additional deficit number:
= ONE TRILLION, NINE HUNDRED BILLION.
..phew.
Sorry have joked about Dicktraitor playing King Herod and eliminating America’s first borns males…and here t’is.
Republicans have lost their dang minds with all the racism they’re pushing.
One ALMOST can’t believe any of this stuff is real, can we? Who are these people?
Just putting this here
What an adorable pic…and i am so glad that FLOTUS saw it
Be best. Yeah. Right.
Oh my gosh if Oprah knock on my door I don’t know what I would do.
I would hug her, cry and faint. Not sure in which order though. 😁
I know.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oprah was great! Saw a bunch about her visit earlier, on MSNBC. What an honor for Stacey Abrams, too (who also has earned it!).

So vote for Kyrsten Sinema!!
Have a question. Is Louise Mensch real or a bot? Just wanted to make sure b4 posting her tweet here.
I do believe she’s real:)
There used to be some conflicting yeas or nays about her perspectives in the past, but been so long since I saw any of her tweets, I forget what they were!
Hey, Florida!! How’s Gov. Scott been doing so far? Not so good! Not good as a Gov…. won’t be good as a senator, either!

Andrew Gillum and his supporters in Florida are having a blast! It’s a lot of hard work campaigning “forever,” but he’s got the knack!
Last night, he apparently “took the night off,” to trick or treat with his wife and three kids. First things, first!
