Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo leaves Twitter 🐦
“Why I am leaving Twitter.
I have made the decision to leave Twitter.
Twitter, far from being the groundbreaking medium that initially made information accessible to the greatest possible number of people, has in recent years become an impressive tool for destroying our democracies”
Conservative men have made themselves unfuckable with their abhorrent views, but somehow this is a problem liberal women should solve by lowering their standards.

"House GOP (republicans) plan to condition aid to Israel on cuts to IRS and to separate and not immediately seek aid to #Ukraine serves who?"
"Why their principal benefactors--the tax dodging rich and Russia. They are nothing but errand boys for some of the world's most odious oligarchs."

Listen to Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. He charged that his network gave too friendly an interview with Trump, and in so doing it “put in doubt the independence of our news department.” Ramos added that Univision cannot “offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories." Let it be a warning to all news media.

@JoshuaACasey @marcelias Au contraire, that is *exactly* how the mathematics of voting works
@sleepfreeparent @JoshuaACasey @marcelias Don’t strain yourself shoveling that garbage. No one’s going to pay attention to it. Dems aren’t doing any of the things that you’re saying they’re doing.
Eh, @JoshuaACasey, I attack your position, you attack me personally, then run. You may be a victim of the last 20 years of discourse decay, but you're also a perpetrator of the kind of cowardly absolutism that endangers our democracy.
Sad to see this kind of poison here.

Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare 73 times
When Trump is in office they had all three branches of government and couldn’t pass any replacement let alone any other positive legislation
Trump downplaying Covid cost an additional 40% in casualties
This, while 80% of Obamacare enrollees live in states that voted for Trump
…while they paid higher premiums since their states rejected subsidies
Republicans never miss an opportunity to shoot themselves, and you, in the foot
