The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the man in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at http://tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo 520-AFO.

I'm constantly surprised at the number of people who are looking for lists of people to follow. There's no shortage of fascinating breadcrumb trails here.
Pick a toot that resonates with you and open it up. See who commented, or retooted it. Look at those people's profiles. Follow them.
Look at their older toots and follow the people whose comments on those toots pique your interest.
I've been here a month & have a global circle, not one of whom I knew before coming here. #IFollowTheCrumbs

Proposal to stop referring to covid in the past tense and climate change in the future tense.

Moore v. Harper could be one of the most consequential Supreme Court cases for our democracy.

You might just now be hearing about it — but it could let extremist state legislatures pick the next president without you.

Oral arguments begin today.

Here's what you need to know:

"Woke" literally means anti-racist

"Antifa" literally means anti-fascist

If someone is "against" these what does it say about them?
