@AlliFlowers @mentallyalex @robbienorlyn I’m so busy trying to mobilize people in other ways I hadn’t thought about it. Maybe I’ll slip any hardcore Trumpers I encounter a Mike Pompeo 2024 sign. 🤭

Seeking references #academictwitter --- has anyone done a taxonomy of the ways in which we use anthropomorphic language (to describe computer systems or otherwise)?

Following hoax calls last year that triggered police responses to Arizona synagogues, a Republican proposal would increase the penalties for “swatting” in the Grand Canyon State.

#House ethics committee reached out to Rep. Matt #Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend amid ongoing investigation

“The outreach, which has not previously been reported, is a sign that the GOP-led committee’s investigation into the Florida Republican has recently expanded to include questioning around allegations of sex crimes, drug use and illicit benefits.”

These #Texas #traitors don't seem to be aware that the #Constitution explicitly prohibits member states from leaving the union. There is no legal mechanism for Texas to declare its independence from the #UnitedStates. So, what we're talking about is armed rebellion, and criminal charges for those who participate. These people are all about law & order until abiding by the law is inconvenient to their desires. Then, they're freedom fighters. 🙄

I kind of regret that the beheader was captured so soon.

Don't get me wrong. I in no way wanted anymore violence to happen, but it seems that the story is pretty much being ignored and I find that quite troubling.

If he'd have hid out in the woods or something then we might have gotten more coverage of it and the stochastic terrorism that the GOP is stoking in the USA.

So where does being an American stand with Ilhan Omar? Or is it so far down her list she honestly shouldn’t be in Congress?

Trump $300M tax fraud/2

The trial of last autumn (2023) was brought by NY Attorney General Letitia James, where NY had investigated Trump business fraud for FIVE YEARS

The trial lasted 3 months. This new $48M ghost loan out of Chicago, with which Trump cheated on $300M in taxes, WAS NOT in court

UPDATE: Every single Florida Republican in this state house committee voted to give 18-year-olds AR-15s and repeal the law they passed after Parkland. Every Democrat OPPOSED.

That's what the Florida GOP is now-- a bunch of hard-right extremists following DeSantis off a cliff.

There is ample evidence that high school-aged people benefit and learning improves if the school days starts in the late morning, but few schools have adjusted their schedules to align with this finding.

The #settlers will not be allowed to send #money to the #UnitedStates or have anyone act on their behalf. The order also prevents any American from contributing money, goods or services to those sanctioned.

The financial #sanctions follow an announcement in early Dec restricting US #visas for people believed to have been involved in #settler #violence, as well as their immediate family members. Neither those restrictions, nor the sanctions announced on Wed affect the many US citizen settlers.

@lymond I think you’re confusing the rings of Tolkien and Donaldson.
