Afternoon, Gail! Late to the party because I was out pulling weeds. And emailing whitehouse.gov about the fierce urgency of the Democrats passing S1 and John Lewis bills by MAJORITY rule.
The FAFO chronicles continue.
Voting rights. This corrupt sly insurrectionist. Biden’s major fuckups.

굉장한!!
Women’s Volleyball Gold Medal match tonight at 12:30am. Go USA!
USA women’s basketball team goes for gold tonight at 10:30pm
This is how they mislead the public by telling partial truths.
The whole truth is so necessary in a democracy!
Salute! Today is National Purple Heart Day! 💜
🙏🏾💜
Who knew?
USA’s Molly Seidel brings home an unexpected bronze in the women’s marathon. 🥉🇺🇸
Men’s marathon will air tonight at 6pm Eastern
Is this for real?!
It’s on the Sinema-Portman substitute amendment. I’m not sure if that is now the whole ball of wax. http://twitter.com/DSenFloor/status/1424056198190542849
Good idea!
This looks like a prank amk would enjoy! 😄
This is so messed up! I feel bad for the guy from Saudi Arabia. [Not really something I expected to be saying]
This woman fell on the tracking during her 1500 meter, got up, caught up, won the heat, then got bronze in the final. She went on to win gold in 5000m and the 10,000m.
Apparently this doctor hasn’t yet figured out there’s no room for practicality, sanity or science in the Republican party.
This guy’s back story begs for a movie.
19 years old. First Olympics. New event for women. Gold. History.🥇🇺🇸
Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg’s Olympics commentary is gut-busting funny! 😆
Snoop is funny as heck! I hollar’d when he said the horse was crip walking 🤣😂🤣
Girl, me too! Snoop is a trip! 😁

Interesting. 👁👁
POTUS thanks Team USA
People don’t think President Obama should be having that birthday bash.
Wow! Go Egypt! 🇪🇬
🤷🏽♀️
Where do buffalo roam? Wherever they want. 😁
Hello TOD Fam!💞 Am back from Chips’ country & Nephew’s wedding! Loved every moment, & was totally spoiled. Speech/ poetry/prose for nephew/wife overwhelmingly well received.💃🎉
This matters.
Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya is blowing out the marathon. Mile 22. American Galen Rupp was riding Kipchoge’s heels. Kipchoge got annoyed and kicked into turbo mode. Rupp is now over a minute behind.
Marathon gold for Kenya
Rupp of USA finished 8th
Eliud Kipchoge. Look at all the empty space behind him.
Glad these sickfucks are dead.
Sad these sickfucks did so much collateral damage before they died.
That part!
fail to show up? what a stupid framing from kyle.
of course, nyt.
pd on the bench. welcome change.
😍

Woooot! More basketball gold for the USA! 🥇🏀⛹🏾♀️
🏀🇯🇵⛹🏾♀️
Brittney Griner makes 🏀 history!
CONGRATULATIONS OUR WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM !!
CONGRATS COACH STALEY!!
–thx fab sportswomanship night for all !!! Yayyyy.
Wooot! Cycling gold for USA!
With this gold we are now tied with China at 38 gold medals!
We just need to win one of the two upcoming boxing matches or the volleyball match to beat China and the medal count by both golds and total! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
👍
Actually, we’re already ranked #1 because ranking goes by number of each medal type first – starting with gold – then by overall total. Since we’re tied with China for golds, but we beat their silver and bronze totals, we’re on top! Winning volleyball or at least one of the boxing matches would be the icing on the cake. Wooot! USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

Noice!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
US women’s volleyball takes their opening set against Brazil, but they to settled down and clean up the sloppy mistakes. They’ve lost to Brazil before after winning the first set. Hope they don’t repeat. 🤞🏾🏐
Let’s goooooo USA!
One more set for volleyball gold!
Missed gold by split decision.
Keyshawn Davis takes silver. 🥈🥊
There’s one more boxing match with potential US gold up for grabs – Men’s Super Heavy Weight.
Looks like Richie Torrez’ boxing match against a dude from Uzebekistan will be the final contest of the Olympics.
Closing ceremony will stream live at 7am Eastern, then broadcast in primetime this evening.
US women’s volleyball team is 3 points away from their first Olympic gold medal!
Woooooot! We wonnnnnnn!
Yaaaaaay!
Gooooooold! 🏐🥇🇺🇸
We’re number one! We’re number one!
🇺🇸😁🇺🇸😁🇺🇸😁🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
I’m so happy!!!
OMG, this dude Torrez is fighting looks like a giant! 😬
It’s not looking good. Torrez can barely reach that giant.
Okay, that’s it. Our last medal is silver won by Richard Torrez Jr. who fought hard against an opponent who was total physical mismatch.
The US finishes strong and on top of the medal count. We have a plane load of hardware to bring home.
USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸
Sad news- Rest in peace Markie Post. 😔🙏🏾
THIS!
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone at that birthday dinner had to show they were vaccinated and they were negative.

Need a set of women whom you can commune with…Michelle Obama spoke about this often…how it was her women friends that kept her sane during her time in the White House
In the meantime ..The Struggle for Justice and Equality never ends … the The Republicans in State legislatures like those in Texas plan to strip black people from their rights as citizens…
So beautiful!
Amazing scenes from national parks
Cool photos from the White House

Q: Did you see the awesome line-up of 4 Wonder Women in our midst?
It doesn’t get better than the music John Williams composed for the Olympics.
Harry does his mom proud!
Thanks so much for sharing that! What a beautiful story!

One more reason to love Peter Frampton, although I hate the fact we’re still debating any of this:
possible??? plausible????

Bla bla bla …yes we have heard all of this so many times…and NOTHING changes. Accountability! WHEN?

i do believe that the country is on dangerous footing…i am not sure if folks believe this or not
Important thread from Kurt Eichenwald
what?
cute graph
At the minimum, self preservation, you idjits.
No jab, no job.
America’s second largest stock exchange has said it will set binding gender and diversity targets for its listed companies.
Firms on the Nasdaq, which include tech giants such as Apple and Tesla, will have to have at least two diverse directors, or explain why they do not.
The directors should include one person who identifies as female and another as an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+.
It follows complaints about the lack of diversity in corporate America.
According to a Nasdaq study last year, more than 75% of its listed companies would not have met its proposed targets.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates financial markets, approved the plan on Friday, meaning it will be binding.
