Just Plain Betty

I'm leaving X Twitter. There's far too many questionable posts and I'm being followed by weirdos. Goodbye.

This is quite possibly the first cover of @TheAtlantic magazine ever (in 167 years!) to be published without a headline or typography describing the stories inside. Here is The Atlantic's October cover:

Goodnight all. In this, the 4th quarter of my life, I'm letting go, but not giving up. There are old fights I no longer care about. I care about my grandchildren & the guns that threaten them. I'm still praying for democracy, and the rule of law. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Captain Obvious doesn’t normally make political endorsements but…

"Do something" #BanAssaultWeaponsNow

All across America, Trumpism, which has festered in our lives, is dying. It's coming soon, and they know it. Even "their own," are jumping ship. But it only dies on November 5th, when we have voted in massive numbers for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz #TrumpismIsDying

Goodnight all. I've never been a one issue voter, because I have so many I care about. But if I had to pick one, it would be guns. We are killing our children. Sensible gun legislation won't stop it, but it will help. The Big Lie is a big lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

RETWEET if you can’t wait to watch Kamala kick Trump’s at the debate on Tuesday!

Seems we should start to prosecute, convict and then start using the recommended sentence for traitors.

Voters need to see that only one candidate is on their side. We’re all in to help make sure every swing voter knows that candidate is Kamala Harris. Help support the message: action.lincolnproject.us/donate

Yes, women are going to make the difference in this election and get #HarrisWalz across the finish line! #RoevemberIsComing and women are going to vote in massive numbers! Please follow me @electroboyusa and remember that this is the year of @KamalaHarris and of women!

@morgfair What's happened to common sense?!?

It’s the guns… Human heart may turn evil but it can’t cause multiple deaths without the guns…

Please join me in thanking the Navajo Nation for supporting Harris/Walz 2024.

Ditto!

I love Anne Lamott. Here is some wisdom for those of us who have entered the 4th quarter of life. wapo.st/3B3P6nX

Trump’s own former VP doesn’t support him and his current VP nominee called him “America’s Hitler.” If the people around Trump see he’s dangerous, then it’s pretty clear you shouldn’t be supporting him.

I hope I’m wrong but if we lose in November I think the main reason why will be the number of young men of all races that are no longer Democrats. There’s been a taboo about talking about this because we understandably are hesitant to make men a main point of conversation (given we have been for thousands of years) but we have a real problem to deal with. At this point with 60 days to go there isn’t much we can do to recover it other than turning out more young woman and trying to slow the departure of young men. I think a lot of this is caused by Covid and the epidemic of male loneliness in this country and the ensuing commodification through social media of misogyny. Long-term, we have a lot of work to do to provide positive examples of what actual masculinity looks like that is not defined by putting down women or other people, but by lifting others up and being a true leader.

@ryanstruyk Well done, Mr Cheney!

Dick Cheney: "In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump... He can never be trusted with power again... That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris."

You did nothing, you stand for nothing, YOU ARE NOTHING!
