@WalshFreedom We have elections every year. The local government officials and judicial elections that occur in odd years impact people’s everyday lives significantly! Local elections are the heartbeat of our democracy ;)

One example: Elections are the heartbeat of our democracy. Every 2yrs we have elections. The people speak. There are winners & losers. Elections depend upon candidates accepting the will of the people. Trump refuses to. He refuses to accept the will of the people when he loses.

We welcomed Gov. Shapiro to Philipsburg today!

Rather, a democracy is a type of republic. To be a republic means that the government is of the public (res publica), rather than the province of a royal family or a few oligarchs. China is a republic, but not a democracy. Saudi Arabia is neither - as the state and the royal family are completely co-mingled. The US, like most of advanced industrialized nations, is a republic that is a democracy, as the founders intended.

If you are using the words “constitutional republic” as a way to deny that America is a democracy, pathways that previously didn’t exist in your brain have been created by repetitive, coercive propaganda distributed by our enemies, foreign & domestic. TOUCH GRASS

@SoozleMcDoozle Oh Suzi. It’s too much. Thinking about you from over here. I am so angry at everyone who minimized Covid and tried to persecute those of us taking responsible precautions. And now we are all living with the results of so much selfishness.

@blockedfreq Can you share the article here?

A Tale of Two Centres McCaffery won by about 4 pts over Carluccio in this highly noticeable county in the middle of deep red Pennsylvania despite pretty garbage turnout from young voters in State College. If you're curious as to why, I have an article out regarding that.

State Sen. Cris Dush and state Rep. Paul Takac are on different sides of the aisle, but they’ve found common ground in Snow Shoe. statecollege.com/articles/polit…

@marley_parish @SpotlightPA Great news! Welcome back!

Donald Trump has already deeply wounded our nation, @Peter_Wehner argues. "He’s perfectly willing to break it. It’s up to us to keep him from succeeding." theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Today is a great day for Centre Co to demand that the Pennsylvania lege #FundOurSchools! Thanks to @SusanSpicka @millers15241 @EdVotersPA for helping with this rally! Let's gooooooo!

The Board of Commissioners proclaimed January 22, 2023 as Lunar New Year in Centre County and encourages everyone to join in the spirit of celebration as the Year of the Rabbit.

"Oz does not want you to know what he knows: John Fetterman’s ability to recover from a stroke while running a top-notch campaign—all with happy warrior aplomb—is incredible...I know all of this because I’m part of this small subset of the population too." thebulwark.com/why-dr-oz-fear…

Do what @Commish_Schmidt is doing: "Respect the people who don’t trust the process, don’t despair of their ability to understand and keep telling the truth. Habits of lying got the country into this mess; only truth-telling can get the country out of it." post-gazette.com/opinion/editor…

@SoozleMcDoozle Sending you love and support, Suzi.

@EzraNanes Thanks, Ezra! We need to continue demanding adequate and fair funding for ALL students in PA, and vote for candidates who understand what it takes to meet the needs of kids in our state.

Thank you ⁦@AmberConcepcion⁩ for your leadership in our top notch SCASD and for your clarity on the damage that would be caused by Mastriano’s plans to decimate public education funding. centredaily.com/news/local/edu…

A gender perspective is indispensable for understanding mass shootings, conflict and war. The overwhelming majority of perpetrators of lethal violence are men, yet most men never fire a weapon in anger. How come? This is a thread with examples of relevant research.

@LauraLyJohnson This is spot on.

The most important lesson of the Covid pandemic is that the only constant is change. If we learn quickly and act quickly, we can outmaneuver the virus. nyti.ms/3Ix7Ryq
