Generally use social media for news and politics. I like what Pete Buttigieg says. It's the kind of stuff I think, but just can't quite articulate as well. Also into wood carving primarily with a mallet and gouges.

I don't know if this is true or not. Or really what it means. But it sure sounds true and interesting!

Hell yeah. Saw you twice in concert. Thanks for being there for my city and our country. Next time let us know if you want to join in on the music at the next rally. This fascism gets me so pissed off, and it makes me wanna say...

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add β€œwe will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Is this your original writing? Because it's phenomenal and I'd like to attribute it correctly.

Please advise.

Is there a list of all the senators that asked questions and gave @booker.senate.gov a break?

A passcode also requires you to remember it. When I'm stressed I forget all sorts of things.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

What a dumb plot twist. And if trust is all that was holding it together and now that the trust is broken, the road back is long.

Yesterday Schumer could have said, β€œThe president is on a mindless course of destruction and terror. All Americans are going to suffer under his violent rule. The GOP, who could moderate Mr Trump, has quit on the people. Democrats have not. But we will play no part in further empowering a madman.”

Democrats really believe that THEY will be blamed for shutting down the government when there is video of Elon Musk out there with a fucking chainsaw???

I guess they have no faith in their ability to make ANY case to the American people anymore.

For all you youngins who do not know 20th century history, a world war can be STARTED by a single simple thing.

22 million people died in WWI from the simple act of a single assassination, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914.

Trump is cosplaying with fire re Canada.

We are all foul mouths here. We curse and shout when we're hurt and being attacked. You all Dems talk in calm circles holding paddle boards while opposition is literally slashing us apart. You ALL are unrelatable. We will support you. Match our anger. Why won't you all stand up for us?

Those of us who did not vote for trump need someone to step up and be a daily megaphone against Trump's incompetence. Many of us would like you to do that. Please accept the mantle.
