In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.

My friend’s husband made a warm space for an opossum hanging out near the home and he is also leaving it cat food. I cannot help but love this man for his kindness. Winters are very hard on opossums, and this winter is especially hard.

Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
