First cell signal of the day. Things are bad here. No water for most neighbors (we have it for now). People are running out of fuel for generators. Hill has iced over again. We are surrounded on all sides by downed trees and are trapped until we can cut a passage.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

soon having a clean ass and not being in crippling gambling debt will be signs of being a paid agitator

People are evacuating on foot with pets and kids but it is so dangerous with all the falling trees and branches.

Dry and warm but nervous as hell

lol

This is a nightmare. I feel like a sitting duck.

The roads are all blocked from downed trees in our neighborhood. Doesn't matter much since the snowplow hasn't been though since yesterday.

The look on the kid's face when she realized she'll have to help clean up the yard...

Same

Power out and back on but there are some weird noises out there. And now a tree on the house.

Hope it keeps! I think we have more ice down here than the city.

I'm sorry about that. ☹️ If ours goes, we lose mobile service, too.

The wind is making this nightmare much worse. And it just keeps going. Temp says 32, but probably not at my elevation.

Lots of power surges.

It sounds like a war zone at times. Pops, cracks, and big booms.

Dang, channel 4 must've let everyone go home. It's about Atlanta right now.

Big difference between then and now: I was never scared. Ah, to be 21 again. I had bigger problems than an ice storm then.

The trees and branches are falling. NOW it sounds like 1994.

I hope she has to go to Mexico for her procedures 😈

Any prospective government shutdown should not end until and unless this ghoul is removed from public life

Frankly, I've been saying this for YEARS. Because simply having a weapon gives another person/cop a reason to kill you.

I have always been firmly against guns and I still believe semi- and fully automatic weapons should be banned, but...well, we're already several steps ahead of where you are, let's just say that.

The guy that said he was going to release the Epstein files, he’s in perfect health, and that people are eating cats and dogs is going to tell you it wasn’t murder.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

I understand saying "this isn't Nazi shit; the Nazis learned from us," but that's not helpful bc Chad & Becky from HS didn't learn that, but they did learn that Nazis are bad. So that's the language we need to use to get through to the people who are still hesitant to believe the regime is bad.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity
