Caroline in the Woods

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Insanity. I’m really sorry for the shittiness of the healthcare experience.

I’ve noticed more and more anger from doctors and nurses at the time they waste dealing with insurance companies. They are at breaking point with this insanity.

Spent 45 minutes out of the last hour with my Cardiologist just discussing how much the treatment could possibly cost me. Nobody has any idea. Could be $500 could be $900 could be $6000 or it could be $8000. Literally no way to know.

I love this! Good luck I’ll be rooting you on from NY.

The shutdown canceled their U.S. Capitol tour. These Bronx students got one from AOC instead. Students from Zeta Charter School got a tour of the Capitol they’ll never forget when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez escorted them through the building.

Thank you. Sending you and your son ❤️

The clean shaven mandate is barely disguised white supremacy. Black servicemen are granted dispensation to not shave every day because doing so causes inflamed hair follicles and can be quite painful and disfiguring. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

Amazing

Please understand this. It is a deeply racist policy disguised as grooming standards.

This is solely designed to weed out black service men.

The part that boggles my mind is black and brown women ARE the military. Go to any base. They are a meaningful percentage of young recruits.

Let’s talk about what real strength looks like—and how Trump’s MAGA “alpha male” act is the opposite of it. 🧵

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Students mourn at FSU after mass shooting that left two dead.

Weird how the trial for the pro-Trump, white nationalist mass shooter who is accused of murdering two students at Florida State University (FSU) is about to start and hardly any news is talking about it. www.msn.com/en-us/crime/...

Ezra Klein is Beltway mediocrity in human form.

I've always wondered how many brilliant women and people of color I know who could have done so much more with the platforms & power that he & his cohort have been given due to their access & Whiteness.

They would do politics the right way.

Going to watch this classic over the weekend and mourn both Robert Redford and The Washington Post. Democracy dies in darkness indeed.

Good point

I think about this all the time. We are so used to being safe. Why did CK say some gun deaths are an acceptable cost? Because he assumed he would never be at risk of being shot.

The extreme right wingers went from “Publicly execute the m**her f***er” to “Pray for him” real quick.

Thank you. I’m so tired of every prominent liberal racing to eulogize him as some kind of “friend across the aisle.”

Every flag in central NY seems to be at half mast. Kind of dispiriting.

Thinking about Kirk’s confidence that the necessary and acceptable level of gun violence wouldn’t touch him. Who did he imagine as the victims when he made those statements? Who felt acceptable and expendable to him?

Odds of right wing figures extending similar grace if a prominent left wing commentator murdered: zero.
