The Pharma lobby is upset that I’m forcing them to bring prices down. And to that I say: Bring it on.

The G.O.P.-led House formally censured Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, on Wednesday over his role investigating former President Donald J. Trump, the first in what could be a series of votes seeking to punish those whom Republicans have deemed the party’s enemies.

The censure passed by a party-line vote of 213 to 209 with six Republicans voting “present.” The measure had the backing of Speaker Kevin McCarthy after its lead sponsor, Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican of Florida, altered its language to remove a multimillion-dollar fine some Republicans viewed as unconstitutional.

I’m not gonna tell people to CW things. Know why?

It’s tone policing.
It’s attempting to control a conversation I don’t want to participate in.
Telling strangers or even my followers what to do is not effective, I have found.

You know what is effective?

Dealing with it myself.

I can mute your boosts or I can mute you. In the extreme case, I can block you. And I don’t have to make a shitshow about it.

At the end of the day, you know who is responsible for what appears on my feed?

Me.

I am responsible for who I follow, and what I choose to see.

If you are clogging my feed with things I don’t want to see, telling you to CW or not to boost things without one isn’t going to work. My own experience has demonstrated this, time and time again.

@pivoinebleue I can not stand that smug STUPID SOB #Tuberville....he's one of the worst Alabama has had...and that's saying a lot.

Whoa. This actually happened: Rep. Eric Swalwell stared down Kevin McCarthy during the House vote to censure Adam Schiff & literally told Kevin McCarthy, "you're weak" and "you're pathetic." What a beautiful picture to imagine. I just can’t get this out of my head.

Given that the Watergate break-in spawned the use of "XXXXX-gate" as the go-to label for scandal and disaster, why would anyone name their company OceanGate?

Live your life so that when you are in mortal peril, the whole world doesn't makes humorous memes about it.

@AlliFlowers This is fucking ridiculous. But school librarians can get fired for giving kids books. Make it make sense!

@flexghost LOL. A fight between two of the most disgusting people in politics... I say let them fight, lol. It's not like they're working...

Today, the Equality Act was reintroduced in Congress. With LGBTQI+ rights under attack, it’s time to codify civil rights protections for LGBTQI+ Americans.

No one should face discrimination because of who they are or who they love.

I urge Congress to send this bill to my desk.

Under Trump AT LEAST FOUR DIFFERENT PROSECUTORS investigated Biden and Hillary:

Brady
Weiss
Durham
Clinton Foundation

He ALREADY did this!! And Durham LITERALLY MADE SHIT UP to charge people.

Thank goodness we have far right wing SCOTUS Justices who can take time out of their schedule to help billionaires optimize the occupancy rates on their private jets.

Posting this post on Durham bc lots of trolls don't know how Durham fabricated a key claim he made against Hillary.

John Durham Fabricated His Basis to Criminalize Oppo Research

So now cis is a swear word?!

ANY WORD CAN BE USED AS A SWEAR WORD, ANY!

One thing is important for me to say

Tolerance goes in every direction!

If anyone uses any word as a swear word then he is just as intolerant as any other narrow-minded idiot.

I know what intolerance and malice means, I have experienced it too often.

But if I don't get the tolerance I give?
No matter where it comes from!

If you want tolerance then you have to give it!
