Heโs said he wants to make sure anyone who doesnโt love this country canโt vote. He said a ton that Dems donโt love this country & now heโs threatening conservatives that theyโll go on a list of โdidnโt perform civic dutyโ if they donโt vote.
Just so obvious & corrupt & itโs treated like ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Voters in Tx are getting mailers or texts reminding them that whether they voted is public information.
Conservative voters are getting the message that Trumpโs administration will get information that they either did or did not perform their civic duty.
This is absolutely insane.
Itโs been almost an hour & Iโm still waiting. At least thirty more minutes to go Iโm guessing.
Not even for a presidential have I ever come close to this wait time before.
Iโm in a heavily Dem area so that is contributing. Thereโs been zero Rโa in or out since I got here.
Standing in line to vote & Iโve never seen this many people waiting. Very encouraging.

When weโre good AND theyโre good, I think itโs much more fun than when only one of us is good or when weโre both bad.
That 2006 spurs series was THE most fun (& stress!!) Iโve ever had watching a playoff series. (The outcome of 11 was the most fun outcome but THAT series & win is the GOAT imo).
I was screaming at the TV โhe WOULD have lost his license this is SO horrific, this isnโt funny!! NOO!!โ
I think itโs CRAZY that some licenses allow a therapist to have a personal relationship with an ex client after 7 years, my license rule is LITERALLY once a client ALWAYS a client & I LOVE that.
Ok I started watching Nobody Wants this recently and I REALLY like this show but as a therapist I just need to scream something out into the ether real quick:
A THERAPIST WHO DATES THEIR CLIENT IS A FUCKING PREDATOR AND U SHOULD NEVER SUPPORT ANY RELATIONSHIP LIKE THAT BECAUSE U ARE ENABLING ABUSE!
Iโm already seeing people hint that they wonโt vote in the general if their preferred candidate loses this primary & itโs absolutely maddening to me.
If just a FEW more REGISTERED Dems didnโt stay home in Betoโs last race, heโd be in office right now.
We have GOT to work TOGETHER.
Whatever happens in this Texas primary between Crockett & Talerico, I will dance to the damn polls to vote for whoever wins it.
I donโt know how much hope I have That a Dem can win state wide here yet but I refuse to concede & not vote in the general because of failings in this primary race.
Iโll listen to this in the morning.
I hope they donโt shut him down if heโs healthy enough to play. I think itโd be terrible for his relationship w/the organization & his development as a growing, hungry young athlete. (& Iโd bet a lot of money that he doesnโt want that which should matter, too.)
I love queer women.

Agreed. And I wonโt care about competitive for a while I think, just watching Cooper take insane leaps & seeing them win a few more of these close games will tide me over.
Hearing the Phoenix crowd react to that dunk was so fun. Iโm so damn glad heโs here.
Naji & Coop get me so excited for what they might look like with Lively, Kyrie & some young stud from this draft in the fall.

The more they press us the better we get at organizing, building community, & fighting them, & the better we get at that, the stronger & more joyful our community gets.
We know how to do this we have this blueprint.
We grieve in the morning
We march in the afternoon
And we dance at night
Removing the flag from stonewall is not even a little bit surprising.
They have to keep pointing at the smaller marginalized groups as the real threats to America & queerness is so easy to point to for so many reasons.
Anti queer propaganda has ALWAYS been an easy answer for them.

Itโs so damn obvious when your post was written by AI & I hate how frequently those posts get so much attention.
โItโs not thisโฆ.Itโs thisโฆ.โ is maddening for me to read now.
Also lists with check marks & the superlatives that followโฆ
Donโt use AI for fake internet points just GO TO THERAPY!
We've had it in our house forever...and I still only JUST started using it...it's SO GOOD...one of my favorite things to do now is mix it with vegan mayo and use it as either a dip or a saucy add to the dish I'm eating....I'm so mad it took me this long to know how great it is.

His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

He's a fantastic human & his vibes have karmically fixed what Nico so ardently tried & failed to break. I know we still don't have Luka, but we are in the best possible position & now the team might get sold.
