The Civil War and the Confederacy (CSA) were about slavery. Only slavery. The word “slavery” appears 83 times in the Declarations of Secession. The Constitution of the Confederacy makes “negro slavery” *mandatory*.
Clarence Thomas is 74. Samuel Alito is 72. Who do you want in office when they die? That should be the SOLE factor affecting your general election vote from now until they die.
By my count, Biden has nominated *105* judges, 69 of whom have been confirmed. Not a single one of those 105 judges is anti-choice. Not one. Why are you believing this BS story?
Sanity check: am I wrong for being displeased with the fact that I dropped my elementary-aged child off for a play date and when I arrived a bit early to pick her up, there were no adults there, just my kid and her classmate?
So lemme get this straight. In just the last week, Garland’s DOJ has:
- Sued Idaho for their abortion ban
- Sued Peter Navarro
- Subpoenaed Cipollone and Philbin
- Indicted Breonna Taylor’s killers
- Searched Trump’s residence
- Seized Scott Perry’s phone
Do something?
I know you feel guilty because your protest vote led us here and you want some magic fix-it pill so you can go back to crying about student loans, but that’s not how the world works. You broke it and it will take a while for us to fix it.
I’m unfollowing anyone engaging in Dem vote suppression and/or demanding Dems do pie-in-the-sky nonsense. There are a lot of you and I’m so disappointed that you’re buying into the GOP playbook so easily.
Eww.
Funny thing, my husband is suuuper friendly & has had good relationships w service employees in the area basically everywhere we’ve lived. Bc he talks to them & is genuinely interested in them & is not, in fact, just trying to hit on them. Women see this a mile away.
Y’all this community note is wrong. The current deadline in Ohio is August 7. The governor signed a new law, but it does not go into effect until September 1. To meet the current deadline, they have to certify before August 7. GOP propaganda is a helluva drug.
Nate, in all due respect, I really don’t care what you do.
The bottomline is this … we WILL meet the August 7th deadline and our nominee WILL be on the ballot in Ohio this November. So you and your “experts” can discuss that as much as you please.
I’m done with this back
I’m Gen-x, so this would have been a non-issue when I was growing up. I don’t have any issue with my daughter being left alone at our house for short periods. But it seems to me that in elementary school, the expectation should be that play dates are adult supervised, no?
So many loser dudes in the comments talking about Pete Davidson getting women out of his league. If he’s dated so many women “out of his league,” then he is, in fact, in that league.
Further context: the mom said she was just driving her daughter to something and was only gone for an hour. The girls are newish friends so I don’t know the family all that well.
It feels like I should’ve been told, at the least, but am I being silly?
A reminder: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a sitting judge on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. That means there are only 22 judges in the US who outrank her (SCOTUS & the chief judges for each Circuit). Her Honor deserves respect.

This feels like everyone was calling him TA so he just made up the sexual aspect of it. If it were real, he would’ve led with that.
I don’t get all this chatter I’m seeing about white Republican women being angry about Roe. Where have you been and what did you think was going to happen??
Women: we like men with a great sense of humor.
Men: no you don’t. You like hot men with six packs.
Really hot women: *date Pete Davidson*
Men: I don’t get it. What could they possibly see in him?
*sigh*
Black women represent every interest I, as a white woman, have. There is no legitimate category of white-women interests. So when Black women are elected, *I* am fully represented.
*smh*
@W_Asherah
A corollary to this is when men perceive our refusal to agree to their “correction” as argumentative. E.g.:
Woman: x is better than y
Man: no way. Y is way better
W: no. X is better because z reason
M: why do you have to argue with me about everything?!?
As a general rule, I hate “follow back” Tweets, but going in to this absurd election season, I want to follow as many Harris supporters as I can to curate my feed. If you love our MVP, let me know!
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote letters in support of Danny Masterson, who ended up being sentenced to 30 years in prison for raping two women.
Ashton reportedly called him a ‘role model’ while Mila commented on his ‘exceptional character.’

The number of (primarily Black and brown) women serving jail time for killing their abusive intimate partners tells you everything you need to know about our society’s values.
Look, I’m sorry you lost a cherished parent. I actually am. But don’t tell me that even those of us with toxic, abusive parents will someday wish we could get a phone call from them. Just don’t.
@chrislhayes
Oh, you mean how many of us felt in November of 2016 and you and your cohort called us hysterical and claimed Trump was to the left of Hillary? That feeling?
As a white woman, I defer to black people on this, but maybe
#SWAT
isn’t the best acronym to use when black people are being murdered by heavily armed police teams.
Launching a new hashtag — suburban women against Trump.
#SWAT
. Everyone is welcome. Including city, rural, suburban, island, expat. Inclusive of everybody. Though “suburban women” is Republican code for white women, this hashtag is for everyone who wants to vote Trump out.
As terrible as it is that one in 500 Americans have died of Covid, it’s still much easier to have gone through the pandemic without having a close friend or family member die of it than it would be if the toll were one in 50, says

My family now has COVID. We eschewed a family trip for Christmas, thankfully. My youngest is quite sick and we’re likely headed to the hospital. Her oxygen has dipped just below 90 a couple of times. Please be careful.
@khaleesikhaldro
I’m actually ok with them being alone for an hour. What worries me is that this mother doesn’t know me well enough to know my comfort level, doesn’t know my daughter well enough to know how mature/responsible she is, and should’ve given us a heads up.
@josecanyousee
The true microagressions are the ones that take a lot of explaining to someone who’s never been on the receiving end. The tone. The look. The body language. All designed for plausible deniability.
Since apparently people reading this think “who do you want in office” means “who do you want to be president only, and not who do you want to be in office in the Senate,” allow me to clarify: who do you want in office when the next SCOTUS justice dies?
PSA for doctors - when dealing with a woman who has had several miscarriages, if she starts showing signs of an impending miscarriage, don’t tell her “you must be used to this by now.”
I’m not. You don’t ever get used to this.
@AshaRangappa_
It also opens the door for harassment by abusive partners/ex-partners. There are a lot of abusive men who would gleefully subject ex-wives/girlfriends to invasion of privacy, harassment, and expense, especially if they have the audacity to start dating another man.

As a lawyer who regularly appears in courts at the state and federal level, she looks fabulous, totally appropriate, and much more professional than most non-lawyers (and some lawyers) you’ll regularly see in court.
What are the words/phrases that instantly tell you the speaker/writer is not worth talking to?
For me it’s “identity politics” “reverse racism” “misandry” and “virtue signaling.”
I’m a small account. But you can unfollow me right now if you are going to keep espousing the toxic notion that votes don’t matter.
Vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Because for many people, it literally does.

@speechboy71
Funny how whether you get tried as an adult while under 18 depends heavily on the color of your skin, yet the only two times you’ve appeared to talk about specific instances of it, it’s been with white perpetrators. 🤔
Can I just say that one thing I’m loving from this clown show is seeing all these Dem men on the floor with their babies? Changing diapers and bottle feeding while working. You love to see it!
@emrazz
1. You’re talking about white women, not all women. So say white women.
2. It’s this idiotic refusal to understand that white women *aren’t* voting against their interest because to *them*, their proximity to white male power is more valuable than fighting sexism.
@davenewworld_2
You know these people calling this grown man a “kid,” talking about warning shots, claiming without evidence that the family knew he was unarmed, and saying he should’ve been shot in the knee would be singing a different tune if this young man were Black.
Before you tell me that Gov. Beshear confirmed it, no he did not. He said he “was informed” of the plan. He never said the White House told him it was the plan. The only person we have is Yarmuth saying a WH staffer told him. Hardly a slam dunk. Use your brains.

Ah yes. When I was regularly harassed outside my apt by a man w/ paranoid schizophrenia who kept leaving his understaffed, underfunded care facility without supervision, what I was hoping for was that he’d be tossed in jail and not, y’know, actually be adequately cared for. 🙄
Just saw a trailer for The Best Man the Final Chapters and istg Morris Chestnut must have some kind of deal with the devil. The man does. not. age.
How?!?!?!
If you are calling Hutchinson a hero but aren’t shouting about the heroism of Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, we know you. We see you. Two of those women are heroes. The other just told the truth under oath.
@CatraHolly
10. I’ve left my daughter for an hour. But it’s in our house where she is comfortable and knows where everything is. I would *never* leave my daughter and a playmate alone at our house without discussing it with the parents first.
For everyone who thinks the Dems should make a deal with McCarthy, remember he said, “I want you to watch Nancy Pelosi hand me that gavel. It will be hard not to hit her with it, but I will bang it down.”
@LingZhiTweet
Yep. My hubs would’ve said something like “holy crap, that’s my favorite anime. I love that!” And not ask a question. And he’d have said basically the same thing to a man or a woman. Then the service worker would have the opportunity to engage, or not. It’s not rocket science.
@JakeMcMillian
Did you actually read what you posted? "It was unclear what, if any, deal Biden and McConnell have struck."
Also, there is no vacancy. THERE IS NO VACANCY.
@RealDianeYap
As a not-young white woman, the police are generally not a threat to me. That does not mean my experience is the experience of everyone. Broaden your horizons.
@davenewworld_2
I’ll also point out that there are women serving jail time for killing their abusers. Those of you (rightfully) supporting the dad’s actions, ask yourself if you’d be as supportive if the shooter were the ex-girlfriend and not the dad.
@QondiNtini
One of my favorite things about seeing Biden win the presidency was having a warm, loving couple back in the White House. Barack and Michelle adore and respect each other. As do Joe and Jill. You love to see it.
@Frediculous
Heard my son talking to his friends about being poor. When I told him to quit it, he threw it back in my face, saying “Mom, you’re always telling me you and Dad have money, I have nothing. That makes me poor, doesn’t it?” 😂
