Finally finished Heated Rivalry. I was surprised by how deep it was and how many hockey details were accurate despite it taking place in a fictional universe... and it was a kinder universe than we're currently living in. If you can play, you can play. 🏒🌈

My favorite bit is when someone in favor of gun control calls the fatal weapon in a mass shooting a "machine gun" and someone against gun control laughs and explains that it wasn't a machine gun because those were banned decades ago and that's why now almost nobody has them.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

We're no longer a functioning democracy. Don't expect a democratic election.

Had such a great time this week at the Mount Kisco Dems meeting. Thank you for the invitation, for asking the tough questions, and most of all for continuing to show up and care enough about the future of our country to take action.

My mom sent me a link to this bookshop website that curates interesting and unusual books. Great looking selection, here. societyforunusualbooks.com

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

Alors que mes colistiers et moi sommes dans une démarche de construction, que nous allons volontairement à la rencontre de ces deux groupes, que nous ouvrons la porte au dialogue, nous essuyons régulièrement des insultes, du mépris, des propos diffamants, du mensonge de la part des deux camps.

Et je le constate chaque jour sur le terrain. Dans la ville dans laquelle je me présente, j’ai deux groupes politiques face à moi. La droite soutenue par l'extrême droite et représentée par un homme qui ne sait pas parler correctement aux gens qui ne le soutiennent pas.

Je parle des médias, oui, des médias d'extrême droite et de leurs propriétaires, mais je parle aussi des hommes et des femmes politiques qui ne parviennent plus à dialoguer ni entre eux ni avec les électeurs sans s’invectiver ou créer des tensions. Ces gens sont tout aussi responsables.

C’est terrible. Terrible qu’un jeune homme qui souhaitait la mort ou la déportation d’une partie de la population française soit tué par des personnes qui luttent contre ces idées nauséabondes. Les premiers responsables sont ceux qui cultivent la haine dans les esprits de tout le monde.

Je lis beaucoup d'indignation suite à la mort de ce jeune militant fasciste. C’est sûr que dans une democratie on ne devrait pas mourir pour ses idées, mais on ne devrait pas non plus mourir pour sa couleur de peau, ses origines ou sous les coups de la police. Mais sommes-nous en démocratie ?

Since we have the right to a well regulated militia, can we have our own jails and arrest traitors to the Constitution (allegedly)?

Trump would have you believe that immigrant workers are “freeloaders” and the “worst of the worst.” Here to debunk his lies and lay out how we can protect immigrant workers on the job is former Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u_HwUn4bYQ

Why any Dem would want to torture themselves sitting thru tRump's SOTU fascist drool is beyond me. It'll be non stop lies, race mongering and Orwellian tRumpian revisionism.

He's just pathetic at this point. Beyond reprehensible and utterly pathetic. Embarrassing little weasel of a man.

IS THIS WHAT 2ndAMENDMENT MEANS?more then398.5million guns inU.S.more guns than people. Everyday,125people are killed from guns each day12 children die and 32are shot.4.6Million live in a home,with 1gun,kept loaded andUNLOCKED.We have more gun dealers than McDonald's.Strong STATE Laws like MA. Help!

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

Good morning from this lazy trollop (and from me).

There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations. The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

Here is cloaked Nazi ideology hiding in the halls of Harvard. ImEdge peddles the same Nazi eugenics crap in such a way that the “slow thinkers” of the world won’t figure it out-till it’s too late… www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

Welcome, friend. Maybe once upon a time, long, long ago, the Republican party stood for something, but special interest groups, evangelists, and foreign nations have their hooks too deep into them now. Dems, too, though slightly less corruption.

I was a blind deaf Republican, I finally open my eyes. I wish my fellow Americans weren't so blind and that they would see them all for whom they are, Republicans have never done anything for the people and trump brought the worst out of all, now we can see them exactly as they've always been.

thing they accuse others of, as usual. There are no masses of illegal voters, there is no Democratic conspiracy every election, that nonsense is purely in Republicans' heads. It's exhausting that they continue with these lies to please their dipshit Dear Leader. I'm tired of this entire country 🧵

Voter fraud is not a widespread problem. The very few times it *is* discovered, it's often folks voting Republican. This November might see a dramatic uptick in actual fraud, since Republicans now control the Dominion voting machines (how that is even allowed, I don't know...). They will do the 🧵

Majestic Realty, which is owned by Los Angeles Lakers & Kings co-owner & Republican donor Ed Roski Jr., is listed as the broker contact on the listing for a proposed $80M ICE detention facility. These globally recognized sports brands could suffer reputational damage. Time to boycott?

We are way past disagreement at this point.

Trump has not been golfing like he normally would... He is not well.

This has been one of the harder weeks I've had since becoming a psychologist. I don't think I've felt this mentally exhausted in years. But even so, it does feel worth it. I may not have done all I wanted to do to help the people in my care, but I did all I could and I can still do more soon.
