Very thankful to all you @noaa.gov , @nws.noaa.gov , and local/other meteorologists who have been working tirelessly this weekend to help keep us safe and informed during this dangerous weather despite the major staff and budget cuts. Your work is so important and so appreciated.

Like gathering flashlights, battery candles, snacks, helmets, dog harnesses, important documents, books, blankets, doing laundry, dishes, cleaning toilets. Geez Louise I am absolutely insufferable on these days!

For Donald Trump and Elon Musk, if you don’t bend the knee, you’re a traitor.

Senator Kelly served in combat as a Navy fighter pilot. He commanded NASA missions into space. He’s a patriot.

Like many of us, he believes in freedom and democracy β€” including for Ukraine.

As I posted on someone else’s thread. The level to which this video makes my head want to shoot off of my body, fly through the air, and explode into a tornado of gay pride, abortion rights, Mexican flag, vagina confetti in their ugly suit wearing noses is just hard to articulate.

And absolutely no one who could have done something did absolutely anything when unidentified men dragged this woman out of a town hall meeting that she had every right to be in? Would they have kept clapping if they’d shoved her into an unmarked van? Cheered?

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony.

This is where we are now.
