@AlliFlowers I will just keep Re Tooting this one over and over again.

Why #EnglishIsHard.

Place the word “only” anywhere in the following sentence.

She told him that she loved him.

@samlitzinger

"In all 7 states where abortion has been on the ballot since #RoeVWade fell, voters have... supported protecting #abortion rights...

That has led some #Republicans... to target the ballot initiative process, a form of direct #democracy...

“Thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run a country,” said Rick Santorum"

This is exactly the message we need right now:

"Too much hate has been given too much oxygen"

I find a lot of hope in knowing, this calm person is behind the wheel.

Epilogue:

While applicability re: POTUS is a matter for the courts to decide, it is undeniably clear that Cruz, Lee, Jordan, Greene, Biggs, Gosar, etc. clearly provided “aid and comfort” to the insurrection and as such should be barred from holding public office.

From the "It Was Never About Zionism" Dept., in partnership with the "I Can't Possibly Be Antisemitic Some Of My Best Friends Are Jewish" Dept.: “A bomb squad is called to a Satmar Hassidic synagogue in Lakewood, New Jersey after a grenade was found strapped to a utility pole nearby, according to local reports.”

The superintendent of a youth detention center in #Knoxville, #Tennessee illegally puts kids in solitary confinement for laughing during meals, talking during class or getting lice. He leaves them for hours, days, sometimes even over a week.

The Department of Child Services has known about this, and continues to re-license the facility.

Astonishingly, the superintendent gave a WPLN & ProPublica reporter a tour of the facility. And reminisced to her about beating kids.

@AlliFlowers Well said! You got Mastodon Award of the Day! 🏆

My uncle says the architects got rid of the front porches because they didn't look well. But my uncle says that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn't want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong kind of social life. People talked too much. And they had time to think. So they ran off with the porches. And the gardens, too. - Ray Bradbury, “Fahrenheit 451”
