Should we really be concerned of a MAGA rally for inauguration?

I know we are going and I know of several others that will be trekking to DC come hell or high water in January for the inauguration. We'll have our N-95's on along with our face shields and goggles. Should I bring my Biden flag or my AZ flag? We are super excited to go and represent.

I am not about to give twitter my damn phone number. Especially after I already picked whatever pictures to prove I am not a robot. It won't let me proceed without giving a phone #. If this isntheir new thing, bye bye twitter.

Trumpers seem to be losing it lately. I think distance learning & having to spend time w their kids

are making them go crazy.

I find this interesting...in my women's FB group, all the democratic moms seem to be ok with distance learning. We know it's not optimal (duh) but safety first. These women are pushing kids to go back to school even if safe metrics have not been met. And are now all riled up bc teachers don't want to risk their lives in a classroom setting. Teachers were heroes. Now they are the devil bc they don't want to do their jobs so that precious Johnny can experience in person schooling bc he is having such a hard time at home. I don't understand this bc we are doing the same exact thing and my kids aren't losing their shit. I teach my kids life isn't perfect so go with the flow. Make lemonade out of lemons. SHOW SOME GRIT. I give my kids coping tools and they are doing great. I'm not bragging. I'm just saying this is what you're supposed to do as parents. And clearly, I'm not the only one. The democratic moms are all reporting about the same.

But these conservative moms seem to be losing their minds w the distance learning. It's like they all hate being with their kids. And god forbid they are inconvenienced in ANY way. Some of us think it is bc distance learning, while it is safe, also encroaches on their lulemon wearing yoga time.

This is a huge subject where I am.

Can someone help me find a meme that lists all the reforms since the blm protests?

I have a family member telling me what a horrible group BLM is and that they are marxist. But I keep hearing the same buzzwords from people on the right and I am sick of it. Also, I saw a meme listing all the names of African americans that have died in the hands of law enforcement. He insists there's only a handful and I remember distinctly seeing a memoriam listing a 100 people.

If this is any indication of what's going on nationally, no wonder trump is a wreck

and rampaging about mail on ballots. Mark Kelly is up now in double digits over McSally. I predict it will get a whole lot worse for McSally. Republicans are losing AZ and it wouldn't surprise me if they're losing in other key races too. They're going to have to resort to cheating.

Navy leader calls fired carrier captain 'naive' or 'stupid'

The Navy is better than this. When you fuck up, man up, admit it, and turn that ship around. This bullshit of discrediting someone doing their job bc you think it embarrassed your organization bc you didn't step up is crap. The Navy failed this captain who stuck his neck out for his crew.

How the fuck can a healthcare worker making their own masks defend Trump?!!?!!

I just lost my shit arguing w a nurse that Trump is completely incompetent. She says "it's a very tough job and I don't know what he's going through. Poor trump. His job is hell right now.". I told her, his job is hell bc he created that hell w his stupidity and incompetence. The fact that we are even making our own masks is a tribute to the gross negligence of our leadership. Smdh. Honest to god. How can people be so damn stupid.

Why Elizabeth Warren lost her home state of Massachusetts

Warren has struggled to capture independent voters — especially men. As I wrote in July, Warren has long had a complicated relationship with voters in Massachusetts, a state she’s lived in for more than two decades and represented in the US Senate since 2012. The fact that she’s on Morning Consult’s list of the 10 most unpopular senators has raised eyebrows. If Warren’s such a great candidate, some have wondered, why didn’t she have better favorability ratings in her home state?

The answer is complex, and has to do with the gender politics Warren also has experienced nationally in the 2020 primary.

Gender politics have long been an issue for Warren
Warren has had a consistent gender imbalance when it comes to male and female voters. While she typically performs well among women (both in her home state and nationally), men present much more of a challenge. That was true on Super Tuesday as well.
