I NEED EVERYONE’S ATTENTION 🚨 SNOW DAYYYY (we’ve waited 5 yrs for this in NC)

Education is the antidote to disinformation. Be informed. Read everything. Ask questions.

I’m late to this AND Scamanda but I’m absolutely fascinated and disgusted by people who come up with elaborate lies about their lives. Amanda (Scamanda) lied about having cancer and Hannah lied about her entire life and posted horrific racist/misogynist/homophobic takes.

This same post is up to 6K likes, 1.7 K retweets on Threads with TN Holler and Shannon Watts retweeting. Why isn’t this blasted everywhere? This is what the Nazis did.

Trump firing the Archivist of the US is a big effing deal. This, more than any other firing, is the canary in the coal mine. A president has never fired an Archivist in the 100 yr history of having this position. What are the Archivist’s duties? A 🧵:

Yes sir 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 We do not play in the triangle

You know what’s fun? Having all the documentation to prove your child is a citizen but they’re not listed as a citizen in the social security office. Adoptive parents of international adoptees: check that ASAP. You have to bring a Cert of Citizenship back to the SS office to change their status.

JANUARY READS Somehow I finished 10 books this month. The Favorites is a new favorite. Onyx Storm was just ok.

Lots of white adoptive parents in FB groups claiming their kids are safe from detainment because they’re US citizens (and they make this statement even without having every single document possible for their kids). Trump told you who he was. BELIEVE him.

In the year 2025, employers can openly discriminate on the basis of race, religion, and gender. Trump revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965. 60 years later mediocre white men that were grievously “passed over” for a job rejoice. #EqualEmploymentOpportunityAct

We are on day 3 and the average price of eggs is now 37% higher at $4.15 due to bird flu. Do we get to blame Trump now for something out of his control or did we save that rage just for Biden and democrats?

I didn’t care about Fourth Wing until a few months ago but it’s fun to buy into the hype for book #3. Snagged myself a skip the line loan via Libby and I feel like I won the lottery!

THIS IS HUGE! Scientists at Duke University's Human Vaccine Institute have made a significant advance in the quest for an HIV vaccine, successfully developing a vaccine candidate that could help the immune system produce antibodies (bnAbs) needed to fight the virus. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

🚨I am BEGGING parents of internationally adopted children to get their CoC ASAP. It’s now FREE, when in the past was hundreds of dollars. This is the gold standard to prove citizenship for our kids. It has never been more important to have this documentation. lightofdaystories.com/2024/04/23/u...

This man is trying to end birthright citizenship, which is in the constitution. He WILL go after legal immigrants. He will go after citizens who look like immigrants.

No, I will not be watching The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived move into the Mojo Dojo Casa House tomorrow. I’m going to spend the season finale of America listening to MLK’s dream and hope we live to see it.

Ready for ❄️ #ncsnowday

Alright kids. This is it. My faves this year by month.

Someone tell me Twitter is going INSANE over Gaetz’s rape, prostitution payments and heavy drug use reports.

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Back on that Wellbutrin train after accidentally going off cold turkey during COVID when I couldn’t make an appointment to get refills. Hope that brain fog clears up for me. I feel like I’ve been cured of arguing with internet strangers, but maybe it’s the brain fog and I’ll be back in no time 🙃
