Sharpton: "The problem is not Trump. The problem is us. What happened to us?"
Hearing a lot of good things lately like “the economy is crashing” and “world war 3 is happening”
Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"

Oh yeah, I’m a big fan of doing what you gotta do to be a functional human. And you don’t get those years back! If I’d had the option of ADHD meds growing up, I think there’s a chance I might not have been labeled flighty or flaky. I had to spend the 30 years fighting that voice in my head.
I ain’t a doctor (oooobviously) but the kid says the 1 mg is the way to go. (Keep in mind this advice comes from a bright 10th grader, but still a 10th grader). 2 mg did not seem to reduce their tics to the point that the drowsiness was worth it. But they’ve maintained the 1 mg for several years.
Are you on 2 mgs? (Only asking because the difference between 1 and 2 mgs for my teen, in terms of drowsiness, was staggering.)

I’m sure the military knew and I’m also sure the deranged chuds in the WH didn’t want to hear it.
I’m a little confused because the economists on my timeline are like “oh yeah we’re facing a generational energy crisis because Trump is a madman who started a war he can’t control” while the politicians are like “it’s important to make clear we support the troops until it all blows over next week”
NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When you work in health care and have to talk to patients through their fears and their gaps in knowledge (and why those gaps happen, especially because we live in an age of crazy institutional distrust) your stances become nuanced. Social media is not for nuance. (I could not be more pro-vaccine.)
Honestly I do feel better for having seen it, lol.

Director of White House Faith Office
"The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed."
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Arab Foreign Ministers the war could last several more weeks, Axios reports.
So at the current cost of $1 billion a day, we’re looking at, what?, $42 billion at least.
