Hate to rain on a parade, but a someone (🇺🇸living in 🇨🇦) who uses a VPN, X shows that symbol next to my location. While it may give a heads up to nefarious troublemakers, some of us are just people using VPNs. (And why do I go on X? Admittedly, to troll MAGA using their own logic against them. 🤷‍♀️)

Add more “clicks” and it resembles the sound of the aurora borealis, which most people are also unfamiliar with.

When the news first broke about her insider trading, it was, well, news. (And yes, she was not alone in doing it.) And then, the story disappeared as though it were just another distraction with no consequences. Where's the accountability?

I’m only smiling because if anyone fucked up, it’s me for half-heartedly posting what I said!

May I ask what you think is the problem with democracy? When I think of Trump, I’m careful to remember he’s just one (despicable) person—his millions of supporters are the real problem. I’m therefore curious how MTG & co. aren’t the problem. And I agree, she’s a bigot, among other things.

His “peace deal” for Ukraine is only further evidence that you are right. National Guard deployment, military presence where there shouldn’t be, buddies w MBS and, of course, tech bros and #Krasnov.

Absolutely fair. When I revisit some of the (to me) offensive things she has said and repeated, I, too, am pleased to see her go. I just wish it wasn’t by some weird capitulation. But truly, I respect your point…among others.

Yes, payback's a bitch, but the fact is, democracy needs dissent. While I personally oppose most everything MTG has ever expressed, her words have actually clarified others' views & red lines. Obviously, MTG can do as she chooses, but I'll go out on a limb & say I'd prefer her constituents choose.

I hear you. I can’t help but think that many young professionals who feel impacted by this wanted, they could just leave these fields and change careers. Where will public health be then? Oh yeah, Dr. Oz said “just don’t get sick.”

They make me sick.

before worrying about others. Why do so many Americans show so little curiosity about others, but are also so quick to judge them? And Bravo to Bartiromo for not pushing back and generally feeling paranoia.
Upshot: if you have time to watch your baby on a monitor, maybe go spend time with your baby

(2 of now 3) surveillance of individuals during the pandemic (to say go back home) to possible security gaps in devices, it may be that someone is observing. However, Americans do so little to understand others' way of life, as Hinson is worried about, and maybe should learn a thing or two...

(1 of maybe 2) Put aside the comments on China. Ms. Hinson thinks watching a baby monitor is "intimate"? I don't usually feel compelled to call anyone out on their parenting, but really? As for the Chinese, it is well established that the Chinese (govt) monitors its people's actions. From drone...

I agree with @toooldtotry.bsky.social and @gtconway.bsky.social (I'm fresh off Bridgerton, so should I say, "just George"?), please run in NY. In the meantime, yes, the regime's agenda, fuelled by venture capitalists behind the curtain includes: www.vcinfodocs.com/breeding-and...
