So I finally deactivated my Twitter account that I've had for well over a decade. It breaks my heart, but there's no alternative.
I used it mainly for fantasy football info & reading news articles, and for up-to-the-minute info. My hope is they move here since their reach increasingly limited 1/

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.
But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.
They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.
We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

All the other GOP reps will see this & not hold town halls.

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.
During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

Nope - never going to stop that. My 1st question will always be 'Who did you vote for?' Because this will determine my next response as well as level of empathy/sympathy for them.
