As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU.

China doesn't pay a single penny.

You, the consumer, do.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Imagine joining political forces with the party whose longterm goal has been to undermine US Education and dumb down American society, THEN complain about the people in that dumbed-down society not being smart enough to understand new technologies.

Some think Elon Musk is a genius. I beg to differ.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Remember new users are coming on daily, unsure of engagement. The more posts you like and reply to, the strong the platform becomes !

In case you were not there in early days of Twitter…

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS.

It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side.

This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter.

Just block trolls as they hit your feed.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

If Linda McMahon and Dr Oz have made it in, you know the My Pillow Guy and Kid Rock have to be working themselves into a lather right now.

Sometimes, people say I am on social media too much and I should be doing something more productive as a Congressman. One of my colleagues has made over 30 Tweets about bathrooms today so from now on I pledge that I will have more bathroom content in my posts

If only Republicans in elected office put as much furious self-righteous effort into feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and healing the sick as their God demanded of them as they do into making sure everyone uses the correct restroom.

What a world that would be, huh?

Your Daily Affirmation:
I am attentive to the signal but I ignore the noise.

Let us be clear. A man adjudicated as a sexual abuser wants to put multiple men credibly accused of sexual assault/crimes (which they deny) in position of extreme importance. This movement has violence and deep misogyny at its core. This is deeply sick

I joined Twitter in the early days and stayed up half the night to watch Ashton Kutcher race CNN to 1 million followers. Deactivated my account yesterday.
