The maximum an individual can legally donate to a candidate in an election is $3300. Elon donated $277M to Trump in 2024 because of loopholes rich people use to buy elections. If you care about election integrity — overturn Citizens United so our elections aren’t auctions.

@ATT needs to know that @FedEx is dropping off new phones w/o getting signatures. This just enriches the porch pirates & puts customers at risk of major losses. No one signed for my new phone, but there was the box - in front of the sign on the door to put packages inside.

Speed with which some jurisdictions bend knees to The Regime suggests much about their real support of LGBTQ people and minorities. Maryland's Eastern Shore does not have the best track record in these matters. 30 yrs ago, as a state employee, a diner silenced when I walked in.

@thehill Depends on your definition of "connections." Don't see how one can be as deep into crypto (klepto, really) as the scions of The Regime without connections. Why do people say things that defy logic and physics?

@mmpadellan The nasty name calling practiced by The Regime and its minilbs is not OK. They have dragged the discourse in this nation into the mud.

Why is it OK for trump to call half of the country "vermin," but it's not OK to call masked thugs who grab kids, women, and old people people off the streets and throw them into unmarked vehicles "gestapo?" Not interested in your "whatabouts." Why is this OK?

Probably won't make it past our new cultural censors, but this needs to be said. And it's no joking matter. The Regime grabs another page from one of tjhe most deadly authoritarian regimes. No longer Facist-like, just straight up Facist.

My Maryland colleagues and I were DENIED ENTRY to the Baltimore ICE detention center—despite following all legal requirements. Congress has a legal right to inspect ICE facilities. Amid reports of inhumane conditions, this refusal is alarming. We won’t stop fighting for accountability.

The reality of @coursera, at least where all feedback is from AI and peers is mostly hype. This could work with some content management to weed out dead responses, folks who gave up & fled?, real assistance in connecting would-be writers in groups, & making real class cohorts.

Taking the @michiganstateu "Write Your First Novel" on @coursera is a definite flop. Posts suggested for feedback are 3 yrs old. Instructions for creating a writing group are too vague for people to form them, & again, filled with old posts, new people you know can't be found!

@NPR get your facts right. The Acting Librarian of Congress is Robert Newlen until Congress says otherwise.

Some days our opponents are right. In this case, @SenRandPaul is spot on in opposing The Regime's abuses of executive power & the timidity of Congress in doing the job demanded by the Constitution. He's so articulate. I wish he was right more often. youtu.be/aOK2NW7Va6E?si…

@littleone7156 @thedailybeast Go back to what is our history?, including the ugly bits about forced removals, lynchings, women as property of their husbands, etc. That's the Great America they want again.

Pure acts of erasure. Now what do they tell their gated community, home-schooled children? That Black and brown people are made of chocolate? And swam all the way from Africa to do what? Since none of them have ever been part of American greatness?
scary lawyerguy@scarylawyerguy

It was, is, and always will be, at bottom, racism. Reporters can scour every fucking diner from Altoona to Albuquerque, make every excuse for why white people feel left behind, and ridicule DEI, but underneath it all is pure, unadulterated racism.
