Zoom just broke a record as 131,000 "white women for Kamala" are holding a fundraising call on Zoom for VP Harris as I type this. It's the largest Zoom call in the company's history.
They are literally raising $20,000 per minute. Pop-star "Pink" just spoke from her plane! It's
My Depression-era parents were moderate Republicans, and I was raised to be one as well. That changed for me in the 90's as the

@duksybaby
Gosh no. Not even a little.
What I worry about is those (white) folks who *are* afraid of this and keep terrorizing/deporting/killing those who are not white. It's gross, it's horrifying.

1. I'm a boomer. Been there, done that.
2. The sky is gay? Ok, that's fine.
3. I don't know how to make a non-binary fuss. I'm she/her. I can ask some friends for help with this I guess.
4. Tweets are often intercontinental and the best ones go viral, not ballistic. Words matter.
@USDA
So now Santa Claus needs a permit to enter the U.S.?
Seriously?
You SERIOUSLY thought this was funny?
Nothing says joy & spirit of the season like Santa being asked for his papers at the border. Does he have to go through a body screening too?
Sheesh.
@peopleareatrip1
I've got a family member like this. They are conservative. They decided that she'd stay home, raise the kids, he'd work.
The kids are grown, she has zero skills and a HS education, and he resents her.
So glad it's not me.
I literally had a student in my chemistry class wet his finger and start to stick it into a container of white powder (Lab: What is this white powder?) at his lab station. He "decided" that it was sugar and wanted to taste it.
I stopped him from tasting the sodium hydroxide.
You mean the Social Security and Medicare that illegal aliens don't qualify for nor ever receive? The Social Security and Medicare that are only available to American citizens?
THAT Social Security and Medicare?
Trump spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt claims that "the mass invasion of countless millions of illegal aliens will, if they are allowed to stay, cause Social Security and Medicare to buckle and collapse.” ????

Congratulations to Lauren Underwood, duly elected Representative!
There was a time when I was a registered Republican. Though I am not now, the one thing I have always been, and always will be, is an American. We must remove the cancer and stain on our democracy - regardless of party.

If you feel attacked when women gain equality, you weren't actually "powerful" in the first place, just artificially elevated.
Real men love strong women who they can treat as partners and who are their equals.

As a retired HS chemistry teacher, the *best* learning experiences in my classroom were those that involved kids with diverse backgrounds who could bring their own questions/understandings to the table.
We *all* learned more that way.
Justice Thomas doesn't understand school.
"Neil Young" and "corporate establishment shill" really don't belong in the same sentence.
But then, neither would "Lara Trump" and "valuable intelligent opinion".

I'd print this out, stuff it in the cup, and leave. Because if they feel this way, they probably aren't vaccinated and why take a chance?

Well, I had little kids, so the 90's smelled like crayons/markers, Nintendo (yes Nintendo has a smell!) and dirt.
It sounded like laughter and crazy kid talk.

I know this will sound crazy, but I'm so frustrated with so many white people (and I am white) that I would have seriously enjoyed having my say to the burly white man.

I'm voting for Joe and Kamala, regardless. After 3.5 years of Trump, anybody with any sense will too.
#VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
I was scraping by with a part-time job and pell grants to get an education. My kids were on reduced lunch at school.
The stock market has nothing to do with how the average American manages to get by - or not get by.
I was a child living in poverty in the '90s during one of the biggest economic booms in this country, just like millions of kids. Our clothes, our food, our school supplies -- none of these were more accessible because the stock market was booming. Please don't fall for that.
I'm 67 and I will ALWAYS want to pay taxes for our schools. Education is important for all our children. Kids deserve the best schools and education that we can possibly give them.
In fact, schools are generally underfunded already.
I'd love to see MORE of our taxes go to them

I visit Norway when I can (my cousins still live there, my family emigrated last century) and it makes me really sad that I DON'T live there. Democratic socialism is one big reason why Norway is one of the happiest countries on the planet.
@hjelle_brian
Well it wasn't mine, but someone else's. I can't stop thinking about it though. She was approached by a guy who snarled "f*cking sheep" at her and her response was "Ew, I don't want to know about your sexcapades with sheep!" (paraphrasing). Then she laughed and walked away.

@BetsyDeVosED
@PattyMurray
Betsy, your lies are easy to fact check. And as a retired teacher who had a department of 21 youngsters to supervise, I am still enraged at what you are doing to my young teachers - and ALL teachers. You should be ashamed.
As far as I'm concerned, the House should continue bringing forth new, legitimate articles of impeachment.
I don't think Trump or the GOP realize how absolutely boiling mad much of America is right now. It's going to carry over to November, too.
There are many predictable outcomes from this rigged GOP farce, most of them profoundly, perhaps irreparably damaging to our democracy. But one that is absolutely certain is that there will be further revelations about Trump crimes and abuse in Ukraine and elsewhere.

1. Foreign govt's attacking our elections via hacking and disinfo.

Sorry about your jealousy issues, Quey.
JFC, do not do this to your server/waiter/waitress/ whomever.
This is a huge turn off and it sure doesn't make the person handing it out look like what a Christian is supposed to be.
GOP pollster Frank Luntz says that "abortion is a hard core issue for younger women, a little bit less so for younger men. And older you get it, it's still important but it's not a voter driven issue..."
Wanna bet?
No longer a 'younger woman' & I'm furious.
I am not alone.

"But even as Fauci, Azar and others sought to assert themselves, Trump was behind the scenes turning to others with no credentials, experience or discernible insight in navigating a pandemic."
And this will always be Trump's response. He doesn't care about facts OR Americans.

@XianJaneway
I taught HS chemistry. I kept a small flask of 6M HCl directly behind the locked prep room door.
I knew that if somehow intruders got through my locked doors, even if I got shot, that I could probably throw the acid in their faces.
That's not what I or the kids signed up for.

-wasn't willing to have sex 7 days after a 36 hour labor and emergency C-section (he had needs!)
You bet I left him.
Betsy DeVos + Trump DOJ = disaster for women. Educators knew she was a bad penny. Now we know she was even more horrible than we thought.
This makes me really angry.
Nearly 3,000 pages of emails reveal that the Department of Education worked with men’s rights groups to rewrite the rules on campus sexual assault and harassment.

I'm sorry about that. Mine was not much better. My kids are grown now and they've let me know how much they appreciated that I didn't express hatred or distain toward their dad (though he fully would have merited it), even though he did toward me. FYI, they don't speak to him.

I taught HS in NC for 4 years before I moved elsewhere to complete my career.
HS is when kids experiment with dress, attitude, hair, etc. It's also when some come out as who they really are. Now teachers are supposed to be judge/jury on gender conformity? This bill sickens me.
@RossKneeDeep
I'm sorry, Willie. I think we've all been losing friends since 2016 but it's still upsetting.

Holy mackerel...a trained law enforcement official leaves a gun in an office??? Not in a gun safe, not secured, and in a school.
