Senator #Warnock’s victory speech illustrates the stark contrast between these candidates. It’s absurd that this was even close. Nonetheless, he’s using his national spotlight to point out the voter suppression that his campaign had to overcome. There’s still time to restore the Voting Rights Act during the lame duck session. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/debunking-false-claims-about-john-lewis-voting-rights-act
RIP to our Benjamin. 2014-2022. The universe threw him a crappy dice roll of bad genes that ultimately caused his early demise from illness. He was such a little cathole and we loved his spirit deeply. It’s been a rough couple days, we took him to the vet yesterday evening to help him cross the bridge as it was time. I just need to throw this to the cloud to know he was beloved.

@bigMouthCommie @evangreer JCPA was a bill that would have forced a link tax on news aggregator sites. Link taxes in general backfire horribly and are counterproductive.
@evangreer Thank f--k!!!
Can’t remember when anything made me so angry as this New Yorker piece by @AvaKofman about how hospice became a racket. During the past 2 decades hospice went from being mostly nonprofit to being mostly for-profit; the number owned by hedge funds tripled. https://www.propublica.org/article/hospice-healthcare-aseracare-medicare
@Nanageddon57 Welcome!
I just read all 103 pages of the EU regulations that would cover #Twitter.
It's time to start reporting to them the actions #Musk is taking that harm people. They won't act immediately, but they need to see how he's enabling "actual & foreseeable negative effects in relation to gender-based violence, the protection of public health & minors & serious negative consequences to the person's physical & mental well-being"
