But that makes no sense.

If this was Russian meddling it would be easier and smarter and surer to just support the Republican candidates because that would actually change the narrative greatly. Republicans winning by three and four points is far more impressive. 1/
Democrats would look really weak and the #Resistance movement would probably start to crumble from self-doubt. . Russian meddling is becoming too easy an excuse to get away from the fact that a lot of us are just plain assholes. 2/

These are real folks. I wrote this thread because a friend of mine from Detroit called me at 6:30 this morning to explain why he had voted GP yesterday. He was all somber and wanted a heart to heart but all he got was a dial tone. Unfortunately, the Susan Sarandons are real. 3/

Yesterday there were dozens of Trump supporters protesting along a major traffic artery here in Kenosha, one that runs directly in front of our largest hospital; a hospital once again filled to bursting with Covid-19 admissions.

They were protesting all covid-19 mandates.

1/
They do not want them anywhere in public, and, it seems, especially not schools.

No masks.
No social distancing.
No vaccine requirements.

I know a nurse who works in that building who battled Covid and who lost her own mother to the virus.

This was a shameful display.

2/
The cognitive dissonance is profound and is a danger to all of us.

I grow weary of reading about yet another of these "patriots" who, just weeks ago probably stood in such protests themselves, but who now have Covid and suddenly its all "I wish I had listened..."

I am not sure when I will be able to post next.

It's happened. Whatever chance my life had circumstances and bad luck have finally stripped away.

I have been literally thrown out of where I was living.

Most of my possessions are ruined. I have a negative bank balance .

1/
I have severe health problems that I have not even begun to address and I have no place to go.

Thanks Trump.
Thanks Covid-19
Thanks Justin.
THANKS ME.

I don't know what to do , or where to go...I am sitting on some steps and I am crying alone.

This shouldn't be my life.
2/
But the odds are stacked against people who find themselves suddenly at the bottom of the barrel.

It, sadly began with my decision to give up my life and go back to Michigan to be my mother's full time care give r.

It took three and a half years of my life.

I can't with this man anymore.

Are you serious @BernieSanders?

You'll be stanning for Russia and any anti-Hillary force until your dying day.

SENATOR, most of the capital raiders had good jobs and could afford the technology, time, and expense to be there.

1/
The Magas in the region I live in were often fairly well off financially. Well off enough to pay both arms and legs for the array of very expensive Trump signs, Trunp flags, and other types of political detritus to fill their yards and windows and automobiles with.

2/
Your economic disparity argument was never a good fit and was based more on the guiding force of your imagination than in reality.

In 2016 more of the truly impoverished in this nation voted for Hillary Clinton than for Donald Trump.

You were wrong then, now, always.

It has been over a week since @Instacart / @instashoppers deactivated my shopper a٪ccount and took away my only source of income.

Despite having @instacart respond and forward my case to Trust and Safety seeking to reconsider the case, they did little more than mock me.

1/
1/
Tonight, after having to inform @instaCart that no one had gotten back to me about a new appeal, I finally received a response.

Upon opening the email I was gutted.

Gutted.

The response I received tonight is the exact same form letter I received originally.

Word 4 word.

2/
They did not address or consider any of my evidence, nor seek any further information regarding the many systemic flaws the q! evidence uncovers. Nor did they offer any explanation on why or how my identity keeps getting crossed w/ other users or the implications.

I am so broken by @instacart that it's almost hard to describe. After two years with this platform, and after over 1000 shops I was summarily deactivated three days ago. It is my ONLY source of income.

@instashoppers #instacart

1/
My initial devastation has been replaced by pure shock at the treatment I have received since.

I was informed of my deactivation through a form letter email that did not outline a specific problem, but asked me to defend against it anyway in the single appeal I was allowed.
2/
I begged them repeatedly to explain why I was deactivated and what specific charge I was defending against, but I received only a single response that said my appeal was denied and their decision was final. It was in that letter that they finally told me what I had done wrong.

My mom used to tell people that I was the easiest pregnancy she ever had, but the I paid her back by being her most difficult birth.

I weighed nearly 11 lbs at birth and my mom said she struggled with managing my weight for my first eighteen months. By one I was 45 lbs..

1/
This might amuse some who know me given I have struggled with keeping weight on for most of my life, but I got a strange flu when I was almost two and lost the weight.

It never came back.

My mom insisted that I "struggled to be born, and then struggled everyday after."

2/
In the last years of her life, when we spent all of our waking hours together, my mom shared a lot of things she never thought she would share with me or any of her children.

"I always knew you were gay. A mother just knows. And I hate knowing that."
