The NY Times has been as guilty as any news outlet of sanewashing Donald Trump's dangerous gibberish, but it is showing the Washington Post what having a spine looks like. When Donald Trump says he's going to do awful things to Americans, believe him. #VoteBlue

Seeing too many posts from obviously Covid-safe people shifting the responsibility of precautions from Government mandates to blaming others for not protecting themselves

STOP IT RIGHT NOW

This is a deliberately low information void - media are not covering waste water levels, governments are not making announcements, and people cannot mask all the time - their kids get it at school over lunch, bring it home is an often cited example

Have empathy, blame authorities

#Covid #Covid19

The Blue Wave is coming and it is covered in cat hair

Via Andrew Weissmann:

Let’s remember that as the polls start to show a Harris-Walz victory, it means not just another loss for #Trump, but the real prospect of jail. Given those stakes, we shd expect truly criminal and violent behavior above and below the water line.

In this article about Central SoMa, the visible presence of homeless people is repeatedly tossed out in a dehumanizing way as evidence of the neighborhood's failure.

"Homeless encampments come and go, sidewalks sometimes blocked by tents and shopping carts piled high with bicycle parts."

It doesn't seem to occur to anyone quoted, or to the authors, these are struggling human beings you could maybe help. It's only scenery to establish it's a loser neighborhood.

Respectfully, enough of this 'bad day' nonsense. It's a great day! Trump chose J. D. Vance, an absolutely terrible VP candidate. His corrupt judge has completely screwed the pooch. The RNC convention is a hate fueled horror show. They are completely overplaying their hand. Ignore the media. We, the people, will decide this election. Carry on! We got this!

If you think it’s crazy #Biden called Zelenskyy Putin, wait till you hear about the time he got his doctors name wrong, confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi and said Viktor Orban was the leader of Turkey…

Wait, that was Trump.

Morons and hypocrites everywhere.
