@lippyent that 7 and 1 look the same

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿ 5 Eastern Ohio

@joakial_ Most people understand this. Most people like taxes that benefit them and society in general, but hate taxes that are just waste and corruption. That's the rub. We see too much waste and corruption.

Taxes are not punishment; they are the price we pay to live in a civilized society.

@LibertyCappy Where there is no danger of harming people, like maybe the planet Mercury or one of those asteroids heading for us

Oh boy here we go... LOL What could go wrong?

@DrHelenFry no longer living

Do you have a family member who served in WW2?

@JeremyWingert79 in about 1980 my first job was $3.65 per hour at minimum wage would be about $15 now.

Okay, 2 things: 1. It's horrid that the U.S. minimum wage has been flat for 18 years. A colossal injustice making generational wealth impossible for the working class. Immoral. 2. But TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS? How can small businesses make that work? Why not increase it $1 each year?

@ZubyMusic I only believe them 50% of the time

What makes you believe a statistic?

@Birdyword smokestacks were ugly cell towers and windmills are ugly too.

Many people do not seem to want data centres built near them, despite the fact that they don't cause that much traffic and often generate a lot of local tax revenue. I suspect it's partly because they're ugly! My proposal:

@Birdyword How about we don't want our electric bills rising.

@EatDaBugs @nicksortor @EricLDaugh Gerrymandering is worst kind of Corruption

HOT TAKE nobody on my timeline wants to hear: Watching MAGA influencers like @NickSortor or @EricLDaugh cheer Trump telling Tennessee to redraw for a 9-0 GOP map is embarrassing. Gerrymandering is a DISGRACE when Democrats do it. It is ALSO a disgrace when Republicans do it. Pick a principle and STICK to it. Politicians of BOTH parties carving up districts to pre-select their voters is the political class rigging the game against you. That's the whole scam. Incumbents drawing safe seats so they NEVER face a real challenge. If you cheered when SCOTUS struck down Louisiana's racial gerrymander because "the Constitution is colorblind" and districts shouldn't be drawn to engineer outcomes, then you don't get to turn around 24 hours later and demand your team engineer outcomes harder. Voters should pick politicians. Politicians shouldn't pick voters. End the racket. Independent maps. Compact districts. Stop letting the apparatus pre-cook your elections. Don't tread on me. 🟧

@ClimateWarrior7 Yea, so brave new world. All pilots will be by remote control. Almost all warfare will be long range missles and drones. Carriers will go the way of battleships and Maginot line.

Unsettling reports are coming in that the Russians have developed a fighter jet that can travel at mach 5, even mach 6, and has a thought-guided, thought-controlled arsenal. If true, it will change the structure of our world.

@micah_erfan How about you represent your state and district instead of just obeying "THE PARTRY".

There are 11 (soon to be 14) Republican states with 0 Democrats in Congress. Even by your own metric, your party is dramatically worse.

@JudiciaryDems Let's double the size of the HR and just have districts that represent the constituents instead of Gerrymandered corrupt districts.

This is what the Supreme Court conservative supermajority just enabled.

@JudiciaryDems Eliminate all Gerrymandering because it's corrupt. Let's do proportional representation

@CAgovernor Fast Rail

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal. We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

@GeoRebekah Let's just get rid of Gerrymandering and go directly to Proportional Representation, but let's not forget it is illegal to hire someone based on race or gender.

Lousiana has the second-highest percent of Black residents of any state in the country, second only to Mississippi. New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport are three of the Blackest major cities in the USA. The Supreme Court just ruled that Louisiana cannot have a single Black representative because, that say, that's racist. But a state defined by Black history and culture having all-white representatives is not. MAGA America, y'all.

@BlueBoxDave Brakes too

“I may be old-fashioned, but all I want out of a car is an engine and wheels. I don’t want it to talk to me, and I sure as hell don’t want it to listen to me. It's a car, not my boss or my therapist.”

@queenie4rmnola Did we not just have a black President representing white voters? Must the person you elect to represent black people be black? Do we not have black Republicans and white Democrats?

Black people in New Orleans and Baton Rouge will no longer have the representation we’ve had in Congress. This is white supremacy

@micah_erfan I like proportional representation better but then local priorities get lost.

Even without the VRA, Democrats could still come out ahead in the redistricting wars. However, this is a race to hell. We need a nationwide gerrymandering ban.

@micah_erfan How would we word a Constitutional Amendment?
