I knew every click on an app or a website was being tracked. Didn't know how much or by what (never heard of) companies until I installed #DuckDuckGo the other day. I have it on Windows & my Android phone. Amazing. Hitting the inferno icon to delete those trackers is so satisfying.

Found this sign at the intersection of a side street while I was walking downtown. That's one way of recycling a sign, but couldn't they afford a little paint?

#NCGOP = Crickets after mass shooting.
Wild that more than 24 hours after a gunman killed 3 people and injured 8 at the NC coast, NC's GOP senators & the GOP rep who represents the area haven't commented on social media.

Worth noting: the shooter wasn't an immigrant or trans.

Trump will use the EO declaring ANTIFA a terrorist group to round up everyone.

DO NOT SHRUG THIS OFF

Plan 1: Trump is going after people who stand up to him.
Plan 2: Trump only has to accuse someone of being #ANTIFA to blacklist them, like #McCarthy did during the 1950s.

Trump pulls the DANGEROUS move we feared MOST

Does this mean Dear Leader will go after Nexstar and Sinclair in addition to ABC?

Somehow, I doubt it.

And the NC General Assembly has left town without a State Budget becaue the majority party Republicans in the House and Senate cannot agree on a Medicaid Bill. #NCpol

We're days from a gov shutdown, and the GOP owns this mess!

They hold the House, the Senate, & White House, but they refuse to lead.

We cannot stay silent, while they mock those who suffer. Shake cages with the tools enclosed!

Medical experts, Democrats, and Medicaid recipients say, will be direct and catastrophic.

Read the second article below from Cardinal & Pine.
Headline from the Republican controlled NC General Assembly: Top NC Republican floats redrawing congressional map to help GOP

They left town, no State Budget, without funding Medicaid, & they won't be in session for three weeks. The cuts go into effect on Wednesday, Oct. 1st. #MedicaidCuts #NCpol

Chemicals found in plastics pose health risks, including in early pregnancy. I'm sounding the alarm for stricter regulations on plastics/microplastics, because Making America Healthy is inconsistent with the GOP turning a blind eye to big polluters.

We can't give up on creating a healthier planet.
The health risks from plastics almost nobody knows about
Researchers have linked phthalates, chemicals found in plastics, to premature birth, infertility and ADHD.

Show as much united action and intensity towards boycotting Chobani Yogurt, Starbucks Coffee, and Target as you did towards Disney+/Hulu/ABC for Jimmy Kimmel.

Stand up against capitulation to Trump, stand up for working people. These are even LESS difficult to boycott than Disney+/Hulu! So DO IT!
