🧵So, I started this whole Qwilly effort because I believe the power truly rests with the people. I wrote letters to Congress, then the Supreme Court, even to the White House. Those letters are all here.

SEA Airport won't play video of Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for government shutdown

In a statement, the airport said it won't play the video on TSA screens due to the political nature of the content.

This magazine is old enough to have fought McCarthyism the first time. We know from experience that America’s witch-hunt fever has been broken before. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

We Defeated McCarthyism Before. We Can Do It Again.

It’s easy to feel despair about what looks like a new age of government censorship. But being around for 160 years gives you perspective.

Ecocidal maniac wannabe! Aiding and abetting Putin and Bibi makes him liable in my opinion.

Wow, Trump just asked the Israeli president to pardon Benjamin Netanyahu in front of the Israeli parliament.

Insanity.

It’s breaks our hearts to type this but unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored and overseen by trusted professionals you should consider CDC a bad actor.

If you feel you must share data, share simply summary stats. No PHI. No cross tabs. No geotags.

A Hooman should now be a unit of value for money. 💰 kinda like a Scaramucci became a value for time. Letitia James allegedly benefited from 1/3 of a Hooman, spread out over the life of a mortgage loan.

Once again, hatred will not be tolerated. I work 24/7/365 to share factual information. One ends up disagreeing with something prompting a whole campaign of hatred.

Learn to disagree, learn to be decent and polite. I do not conform to living in such world where rudeness is normalized.

Be well.
