RIP, Lioness of Literature. Your voice and words will always teach us to be better than we thought.
❤️💔❤️
Her words have said it all. She is a beautiful soul.
Good Afternoon.
Great Thread, NW, Obrigada.
Ms. Toni Morrison:
RESPECTED. Beloved. Talented.
She will be Missed.
🙏🕯🕯🕯🙏
Toni Morrison’s 2008 letter to Senator Barack Obama
A 2018 letter from Toni Morrison to Queens Public Library
Her words touch me deeply. Tears that she is no longer with us. We still need her truth.
A Republican. Progress.
Thank you Nerdy for celebrating the wonderful life and gifts of Toni Morrison. She will live on in the reading and sharing of her books.
“Rest well, thy good and faithful servant”, sayeth the Lord.
I’m going!
Thank you! I’m going, too!
This story broke me. 😭

Not only can HE “shoot someone and not lose any voters,” his minions can shoot hundreds of people and he won’t lose any voters.
Our nation is deeply sick. The Fox News infection may be an incurable plague.
Forgive me if this quote has already been posted, but I love it.
Thank you Nerdy and all of you for this amazing thread honing Tone Morrison.
That should be honoring.
This is a very, very beautiful message.
Yes, and he’s helping so very many people get through this, by his words.
Beauty! Thanks for sharing.
So much sorrow
“Trump campaign still owes El Paso nearly half a million dollars for February rally.” (Salon)
= $569,204.63
When did Trumpsky ever pay his bills?
Reps Escobar and Annello have asked Trump NOT to visit El Paso.
Congresswoman Escobar:
“”Words have consequences,” she added. “And the president has made my community and my people the enemy. He has told the country that we are people to be feared — people to be hated.”
MOSCOW MITCH:
Please call him out every hour of every day until he is toast. This MM tag is ringing a bell.
MASSACRE MITCH:
Refuses to put HR8 on the floor:
After 100 dead in 5 days, and 255 massacres this year.
Read some of the responses – I know who came to my mind first!
Goodnight TOD ….
Morning everyone. Life isn’t fair. I asked myself this morning why someone like Toni Morrison is gone and he’s still here. It’s backwards.
Good Morning, Beloved TOD Town Hall.
Truly appreciative of the work NW has done in safe keeping this Blog Post.
It’s Hot Wednesday in MN.
😍😍😍🙏😍😍😍
Co-sign! Thank you Nerdy Wonka!
Read them all. Share. Is this who we want to be? I sure don’t.
😞
Truly awful
Structured “Debate” is Not Beto O’Rourke’s forte.
But spontaneity is. He’s wonderful at speaking his mind when there’s No structure. I get that. He’s an artist, musically inclined. I love his way of defending and speaking up for his El Paso, TX and USA.
We are in a danger zone. He uses ‘Acting’ officials so he can choose people with the same toxic thinking. They think they are accountable to HIM.
Of course they did. These are the swamp dwellers and conspiracy theorists. We must vote in elected officials that believe in facts and justice for all. Once and for all!
Good Morning Family!
Just sharing something beautiful. I hope your day is beautiful!
Thanks for this:) mesmerizing and share worthy
👍🏾
Thank you Rep. Joaquin Castro! You want to support racists, then speak with your fkin chest!
🙌🏾
Because we need to laugh 😂
GOP Bill Weld: “Trump is a raging racist”.
Trump says: “Too busy” to speak to Rep. Escobar on the phone.
–Pence stay on your knees because we’re coming for you too.
Ok, now that was FUNNY! 😆

@Karnythia Pretty sure I read dude was out on probation for another assault. Seems like this one should immediately put him back in jail. Oh wait, that would mean we had a working justice system that makes sense. Never mind. https://twitter.com/Dudette9t9/status/1159140133431648256?s=17
Hoping we’ll work hard to bring/restore respect for ALL children in this country asap. Benito openly and unapologetically trashing them, not even acknowledging the death and suffering his is personally causing on the border.
“Terrific” Photo Op for the Racist Monster in the WH:
Trump: ““We’re going to Dayton first and then we’re going to El Paso, and we’ll be meeting with first responders, law enforcement, some of the victims and paying my respects and regards. I’ll be going with the first lady. It’s a terrific opportunity, really, to congratulate some of the police and law enforcement. The job they’ve done is incredible. Really incredible.”
—Trump is living inside a FICTION he creates moment to moment.
—How about us?
Senator Brown on O’Donnell last night said he’ll accompany Trump to El Paso and press him
on passing gun legislation. He also said that Trump visiting El Paso where he is not wanted:
“Will rub salt in the wounds.”
I thought he said accompany him to Dayton and talk about those issues
Yes, Dayton, not El Paso. Plans on being very direct in his questions, comments and recommendations.
yes Dayton. thanks. my mistake.
Senator Sherrod Brown is great.
Senator Brown maybe you just want to ride on AF-1, because you know that you can not trust a word Trump says. Trump and Melania should have stay home,
GOP Reps DeWine and Turner, and Lt Gov Husted say they want action on gun legislation:
“In the wake of a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, that left nine people dead, three of Ohio’s most prominent Republicans have called for immediate legislative action to reduce gun violence.”
(https://thinkprogress.org/nra-backed-ohio-republicans-call-for-action-on-gun-violence-dayton-mass-shooting-bc1ab4584858/)
Shouldn’t they be putting all the pressure on Mcconnell and the republicans in the Senate. There’s a bill that already passed in the House sitting on his desk since February.
Thread. Dear god
Thank you for posting this tweet. I was alarmed at reading it. This info should be spread.
Making members of our country LESS SAFE! On PURPOSE.
FACT: GOP passed H.J. Res 40 in February 2017…
It revoked the Obama regulation which made it harder for mentally challenged people to buy a gun.
Now Trump has the gall to blame mental illness (which is factually 3% to blame for gun violence).
After he has spent the last 2 years trying to obliterate health care including mental health care.
Journalists must repeatedly ask him about it on camera.
The NRA wish list along with pink and blue guns for every boy and girl:
On the NRA wish list: Pink and blue guns for boys and girls.
Check! They’ve already done that.
Nerdy Wonka:
(trying not to ask.) Having visual trouble with the matching color comment box. For example mouse cursor disappears into the magic cloak of invisibility. Can anything be done to make the comment box grey again?
Thank you for all your work!
ohhh myyy goodness….
is there a report of another shooting…this time in VA…
They are saying that It’s a false report, Per Susan Page…..She works for USA TODAY
thank God…how much more of this can we take…
False Alarm….Thank God….
i can’t take much more of this
Once again, again,
Bristol Bay Alaska the world’s greatest provider of sockeye salmon, is at risk due to greed and corporate evil.
America: If you like sockeye salmon the Source is here.
One drop of copper in the water messes up the salmon and you can wave your salmon dinner bye bye.
(Presumably Trump eats something besides cheese burgers, or at least his family members do.)
President Obama worked hard to protect Bristol Bay: Trump’s EPA is trying to undo his 2014 limitations.
There is currently an official hundred-page criticism of Trump’s hokey attempt to fast-track.
“The proposed Pebble Mine would directly impact the world’s greatest sockeye salmon run, putting in jeopardy thousands of American jobs, a cultural tradition of subsistence dating back 10,000 years, and a robust sport-fishing and tourism economy.
In a climate shaped by the Trump administration’s coziness with polluting industries, the company behind Pebble Mine is trying to sneak a permit through Clean Water Act regulations with the dubious promise of sticking to what it views as a “small” mine. Yet even as proposed, the project entails mining a pit over a mile long, a mile wide and 200 meters deep, destroying nearly 3,500 acres of wetlands, lakes, and ponds and 81 miles of salmon streams….” (more)

Putin Party Kochies and big Oil are going after Alaska EVERY possible which way,
tying residents’ hands and turning it into an environmental, economic nightmare and libertarian free-for-all.
–The ‘Pebble (copper) Mine” has been trying it on since the 1980’s.
–Pls say No.

Just as the Orange Fascist arrives. BRILLIANT!!

It’s about TIME!! So so so sick of the privileged white man paradigm sharing their warped opinions.
It is; however, watch them put it on at 10 am on Saturday to counter-program AM Joy…
The destruction to this country is incalculable.
My President represented everyone in our nation. He respected everyone.
This is how a President gets impeached. Dems do not have the necessary 67 votes in the Senate to impeach.
Thank you well said by Mr. Cilizza and helpful.
However I for one want to see:
ALL THE DIRT on Trumpsky’s crimes
Displayed on TV screens
ACROSS AMERICA.
Requires following the Impeachent Enquiry path….
Why bother with the Senate?
Surely we can figure this out.
New post.
