@Jedigal007 @DrALJONES I can't know this for sure, but I believe Sinema and Cotham were sociopathic opportunists all along, with no moral center.
@Brandi_Buchman thank you. I won't log on to the bird site anymore. Been waiting.
Hard to imagine this story could get worse but Tennessee Republicans voted to expel the two black men who were involved but not the white woman

1. Something absolutely outrageous in happening in Tennessee
Republicans are moving to EXPEL three Democratic members of the Tennessee House
What did they do?
The three members expressed solidarity w/peaceful protesters calling for gun safety legislation

@StillIRise1963 💯 I’m sure if we knew for certain who they are and what they’ve done we would all revolt and declare open season on them. Not having the proof is the only thing that stops that bc what if we’re wrong. I say assume the worst and hunt them already 😂

Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting.
And what are GOP officials focused on?
Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action.
It's shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent.

Next week, Ron DeSantis is going to make it illegal to teach what happened in Tennessee this week.

5/ More from Elie:
It is rare, RARE, that you will see #racism so surprising that it even catches *black* folks off guard. But, literally nobody I talked to, even as recently as a few hours go, thought #Tennessee would have the unmitigated gall to expel the two black guys and not the white woman.
Kenny Baker was always the droid we were looking for. May the force be with you #R2D2
Good Lord.

The U.S. data is terrible and extremely sad but shows that suicide is a problem specific to the U.S. There is no broader Western crisis. Do you know of any GOOD papers explaining why the U.S. is an outlier among advanced countries?

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
