00:33:19 Retweeted @mostlybree 00:30:42 The Dora novelization was clearly written by a sleep deprived parent of toddlers, and I want to read it now https://t.co/wKJ4csDCTG

06:07:17 Curmudgeon’s Corner: Sitting in Your Closet https://t.co/IrwQ1f1Wyc https://t.co/dVp0Oy5lrZ
16:12:38 Retweeted @dandrezner 12:38:10 There’s a lot of repellent stuff in these tweets, but it’s interesting that Trump presumes Ayanna Pressley (born in Chicago), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born in NYC), and Rashida Tlaib (born in Detroit) were not born in the USA. https://t.co/2vHjEnMdRs
16:12:42 Retweeted @endeavoringE 13:17:49 This happens to anyone who isn’t white – and perpetuates the notion that an вЂњAmericanвЂќ is nothing more than that, when, in fact, an American is an idea, not an ethnicity. And this is how the monsters win. https://t.co/MRa1Xdljje
16:12:51 Retweeted @AmandaMarcotte 12:50:14 His assumption that people of color aren’t legitimate citizens is why it’s fair to call him a white nationalist. https://t.co/SQm4xG2YCl
16:13:18 Retweeted @4lisaguerrero 15:57:56 Make no mistake. Telling people of color to вЂњgo back where they came fromвЂќ is racist. If people criticize this administration or it’s policies it doesn’t make them less вЂњpatrioticвЂќ, in fact the most patriotic thing you can do is to stand up & speak out against hate & intolerance.
16:28:22 Retweeted @jonfavs 2019-07-13 15:55:22 Hey, all you Democrats who work in Washington together: maybe get off Twitter, get into a room next week, and work out your problems like adults because DONALD FUCKING TRUMP IS PRESIDENT.
16:31:22 Retweeted @brianschatz 16:09:16 You misspelled racist. https://t.co/Qja8Z4vsi1
16:36:27 Retweeted @blackwomenviews 16:07:07 For those that think of immigration as just a Latinx issue. People from all backgrounds are being targeted. https://t.co/5AU4d3Jgxs
16:39:10 Retweeted @BreeNewsome 2019-07-13 14:43:36 I ask again, what does “bipartisanship” mean when one of the parties is blatantly white nationalist & is implementing murderous, racist policies??? WTF, y’all.
17:04:02 Retweeted @stevesilberman 16:42:27 Blatant lying like this is no accident. In classic Orwellian fashion, Trump is pounding a cleaver – BAM! BAM! BAM! – right through the center of his supporters’ brains, so they can’t access an accurate internal model of reality. LOVE ME, he whispers, I AM BETTER THAN REALITY. https://t.co/nnCnXbzram
18:48:25 Retweeted @JustinPeligri 18:37:35 And I…oop! https://t.co/QJDQGFvdOX
21:55:00 Retweeted @natsecHeather 20:54:25 I love peanut butter too. A college classmate died b/c a restaurant didn’t disclose peanut butter in its chili. By the time they realized, it was too late. Epi-pens, desensitization are great but they aren’t magic. A little inconvenience vs actual human lives. Please reconsider. https://t.co/54xgkQ4WjS

01:36:30 Retweeted @natsecHeather 2019-07-12 19:53:37 Handy compendium here of ideas that science, and fancy names like Simon Baron-Cohen and Steven Pinker, gave us about autism that are outdated, disproven, offensive and wrong. Great quick read before the next time you hang out with someone with loved ones on the spectrum. https://t.co/UTWEDMVBF4
02:34:42 That Look https://t.co/RjqaMyc1Ga https://t.co/Mg0Zafpu4F
05:22:44 Retweeted @joshtpm 03:49:56 Democrats are talking about some dumb shit tonight. Pelosi has done herself/her caucus no favors with her dismissive comments. It’s also mind boggling that AOC and crew can try to upend their caucus at every turn and then be shocked they’re вЂњsingled outвЂќ.
16:30:17 Retweeted @matthewamiller 15:43:50 I’ve been answering Star Wars q’s about the force and lightsabers and on and on for two years, but out of nowhere my four year old just asked вЂњwhy is Leia’s dress still all white after they come out of the trash compactor,вЂќ and…..I got absolutely nothing.
16:33:09 Retweeted @mattdpearce 2019-07-12 23:04:02 This is one of the most mind-bending election charts I feel like I’ve seen. https://t.co/M2YGFnihtx https://t.co/M2TVbxdPcX
16:42:14 Retweeted @Taniel 16:11:28 It’s worth reading @kanishktharoor‘s essay breaking down why this literal sacralization of borders is “zealous and dangerous:” https://t.co/Gwpj8F6c1W https://t.co/ozv5S92g0p in reply to Taniel
16:48:22 Retweeted @kellymagsamen 12:13:49 This image is stunning. White men in sports blazers casually staring at Hispanic men in a crowded cage. My God. https://t.co/fRVGEhIPk9
16:52:24 The election doesn’t elect the president. The election elects a slate of electors, who in turn can vote for whoever they want. Put Pence or another generic Republican on the ballot, the electors pledge to vote for Trump anyway. Not like CA is in play of course. But if it was. https://t.co/2JVWgjwoZJ
17:45:15 Interesting thread and responses. https://t.co/plTWNA4qzy

10:04:33 I felt nothing because I was asleep. But my wife woke me up because she felt it, as did my daughter. I feel left out. 4.7 earthquake 10 miles from home. https://t.co/KxTlYKkb5n

Not in exactly the same spot. #wawx #waquake https://t.co/d8itqDDDzS
10:25:56 Retweeted @PrestonTVNews 10:22:02 Earthquake that just hit north of Seattle has been downgraded to a 4.4 magnitude. @USGS now saying it was 0km SSW of Three Lakes, Washington. Here’s the intensity map for this earthquake and the shake map that shows how far out the earthquake could be felt. https://t.co/URvordDgb5
16:25:37 Retweeted @moorehn 16:13:32 Good update on the legal machinations to get Trump’s tax returns, by @imillhiser https://t.co/KtxBOJafZr
19:57:45 Retweeted @fmanjoo 19:49:34 This @michaelbd criticism of my column has this interesting bit. personally I can’t understand anyone who doesn’t question every inherited part of the culture and seek to justify it. That’s the point of reason, I feelhttps://t.co/5yvqO7URme https://t.co/1uoAhpYih4
20:08:38 Retweeted @notcapnamerica 17:32:05 .@KamalaHarris “Any of us that has raised a daughter, when they hit puberty they start to develop breasts & hips. Don’t you dare say that because they take on those physical attributes that she is less of a child. They are babies.” https://t.co/RPjQn0rFfv in reply to notcapnamerica
20:58:34 Retweeted @SnoCoSheriff 20:54:12 Are you signed up to receive text/email/voice alerts from Snohomish County? AlertSense allows emergency response agencies to issue alerts to warn citizens of events such as need for immediate evacuation, crime/imminent danger, and local area emergencies. https://t.co/1T9XCbzdQq
21:37:32 Paying off witnesses doesn’t work as well if they catch you doing it. https://t.co/Jex12AL0ve
