As an Arizonan, Paul Gosar is the biggest TFG for me. I honestly fail to understand what anyone sees in him

Ugh, I felt a deep dread reading this. I just saw this from the NYT "The crush of Covid-19 cases at Children’s Hospital New Orleans grew so dire this month that the state called in a federal “surge team” of emergency responders to help." this is horrible. Completely horrible and largely preventable. nyti.ms/3B9Stom

Ugh, I felt a deep dread reading this. The hospital situation was so bad after Katrina, flooding, generators kept going out, stifling heat. I hope they’ve put better equipment and plans in place since then. This is a very scary situation.

I know everything is no good, very bad right now, but this did help me breath for a second. Over 100,000 people were saved and hopefully get to settle in to a safe place tonight. It will be an extremely difficult road for them and I hope they are supported in their transition.

Yes the huge scope of how many people were moved out of the country is amazing. We couldnt airlift out that many in our own country for a disaster o

I really wanted to go to the March on Washington today but H and I decided that big dense crowds aren't a great idea with delta. I hope everyone wears their masks and stays safe.

It will be an extremely difficult road for them and I hope they are supported in their transition. I love Joy Reid. When things get absolutely bananas and it's hard to feel hope she always seems to pull out some silver lining like this that helps me breathe. She's my outrage meter on twitter. If she's like, "yeah this is horrible, but xyz OK thing" I can not freak out for a second. If she's like "all systems go wild shit happening that could end the earth" I buckle up, lol.

What?!? 😳 I read that headline as satire at first I couldn't belive it. This whole thing is so upsetting. How can people be so heartless? (Rhetorical question, I know exactly how and why.)

I saw this picture earlier and thought it was powerful. Hadn’t realized it was going around because she had died in the attack. 💔

I just saw a meteorologist say that parts of Louisiana won't be inhabitable for MONTHS after Ida. I'm so sad and worried for them.

Mittens is still a horrible person. He’s on sotu In case anyone forgot.
He’s doing a lot of fear mongering over leaving Afghanistan.

This is honestly a nightmare for me. I understand there are economic reasons for people to not evacuate but my anxiety is so high just reading this, I cannot imagine staying.

I'm so worried for everyone in Ida's path. She's immense. Two of my friends who live in NOLA and evacuated for Katrina have chosen to stay and ride out this storm.

This live feed is on Grand Isle and is 10 feet above sea level and the water is at the camera. They’re showing it on the Weather Channel. It’s nuts.
