GOP Rep Paul Gosar spoke at Nazi & pro-Hitler events, doubled down repeatedly, & still fraternizes with white supremacists.

GOP Rep MT Greene cites Jewish space lasers, speaks at Nazi events, & still fraternizes with white supremacists.

And GOP continues to embrace them into leadership positions.

But please tell us more about how Rep Ilhan Omar unequivocally apologizing for her words & meeting with Jewish leaders for healing is the real antisemitism.🤔

This is Trump’s “big contribution“ to America. His open theft and never-ending lying without penalty have opened the door for even worse narcissists. It seems our country no longer holds wealthy white criminals to account so why shouldn’t others like (and worse than) Trump grasp for power and its resultant wealth?

God: so they’ll be called Sea Urchins

A: who hurt you

I apparently really enjoy buying seeds, for flowers and veggies. 🌱I’m not nearly as successful at planting them 🌸, and even less successful at coaxing them to maturity 🥒. I do enjoy thinking about it though. 🤭 #gardening

I don’t know if “climate activist” is really the right way to put it. Like, if I’m drowning and trying to come up for air, I’m not suddenly an “oxygen activist”—I’m literally just trying to stay alive. Maybe addressing climate change shouldn’t be viewed as an “activist” position.

Racists in Congress worked on impeachment the night President Obama was elected.

They voted against *anything* he supported. Anything. I don't know how he kept his equanimity, but he did that elegantly and gracefully.

I vehemently abhor them.

We laugh because we know this is what's coming.

I had no idea you could "privatize" a public library....

The next time you use any navigation device, software or Google Maps thank Dr. Gladys West. Her contributions to the mathematical modeling of the shape of Earth, and her work on the development of the satellite models that were eventually incorporated into  the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. #BlackMastodon #BlackHistoryMonth

Hahaha, well, now I have this 8-core laptop now, 32Gb memory, with 3 SSD's in it (4Tb, 2Tb, 1Tb SSD). Monster!

But I still love my first Tandon Ad-Pac 80286 with 2 30Mb ejectable harddisks (bricks!) of 1988.

@ScottSoCal How wonderful🤗 15 years is a serious relationship — so, you know how sweet they can be! I’ve rescued a ring-collared dove, for a far shorter time than you, and returned it to the wild (after it healed). Blessed creatures birds, I think of them as angels in (thin) disguise 👼

Just a warning, I am immediately blocking, and sometimes server blocking on, "stop posting about politics if you're a insert profession here" takes. Technology is politics. Education is politics. Security is politics. The people who work in these fields, and more, are intimately impacted by politics. Some peoples' lives, families, and livelihoods are in danger. It's all politics, stop content and tone policing if you're one of the few people who's currently insanely fortunate to be relatively unimpacted. It's asinine.
