Never been more intimidated by a Black woman who wasn’t my mother than when I met Eartha Kitt at a restaurant in CT.

She had just performed a show. I got all fanboy and approached her (respectfully!) to tell her how much I’d enjoyed her career.

I’m fairly tall so she asked me to bend over and come closer. I got down on one knee next to her chair. She growled, in that magnificent voice, “I love making grown men kneel before me...” 😂 😍

A long time ago I visited Auschwitz. The guide was a former inmate who had a number tattooed on his arm. I saw the gas chambers, the ovens, the piles of belongings. Beware when a group or groups are singled out as a “problem”. When Texas wants to compile lists of trans people, it rings a terrible historical bell. People say don’t be hysterical. People said that in 1933 too. We should know better. #politics #uspol #uspolitics

SOS Mastodon, I need real help. On Twitter, I received implied threat tweets from 2A gun bros. I snooped their accounts before I blocked them. They discuss civil war, have many guns, prepped go bags etc. Last night I found more discussing moving into Ohio this week & they’re planning an attack prior to Oh. I have screenshots to confirm my information. I contacted my regional FBI office and the national FBI. They did not seem to care. I don’t know what do as no one is taking this seriously.

I suppose that my hobbies are #Travelling and #SurfFishing, it's what I have spent the most of my free time doing over the last few years lol

1. The chief one is that a punishment of non eligibility for future office that would follow from a finding Trump committed insurrection is imposed by the Constitution, not the bill. That is the sine qua non of the definition of bill of attainder under Brown and Abbott.

Wow. Convicted Florida crypto criminal Joel Greenberg’s attorney implied his client gave the DOJ info re: “election interference,” & “election fraud.” (Election fraud & crypto are a natural fit.) Greenberg was close w/ Roger Stone & Matt Gaetz. He also donated to DeSantis. #RogerStone #RogerStoneDidSomethingWrong #crypto #election #Florida #desantis

J6C considering at least 3 charges v Trump, including insurrection on an aiding and abetting theory (helping armed overthrow of government). Big stuff. Looking forward to discussing on @DeadlineWH@twitter.com with @NicolleDWallace@twitter.com at 445 ET (or so).

A little #introduction:

I’m #Ottawa born and raised (with brief interludes in #QuébecCity, #Montréal, and #StCatherines ).

I’m a proud public servant working as a data analyst.

I’ve survived #cancer. Diagnosed with double-hit #Lymphoma on the heels of the #Covid pandemic declaration, the journey to remission was as surreal as it gets.

Other tidbits of information are noted in my bio.

Looking forward to the engagement.

Congress has passed (and Biden is expected to sign) a bill aimed at conflicts of interest that arise when govt contractors work for both federal agencies & private-sector clients.

The bipartisan group of senators who sponsored the bill cited ProPublica’s reporting on consulting giant #McKinsey and its simultaneous work for the #FDA and #opioid makers like #PurduePharma
