In the last week, I have been added to 2 “moderation” lists questioning the legitimacy of my account…
To clarify:
• I’m a human being, not a bot
• I follow a lot of accounts b/c I have a lot of different interests
• I follow most accounts that follow me, more followers, more I follow

We are in a serious govt shutdown, but instead of negotiating, Trump posted several pics of his WH bathroom remodel today and now this. He is currently headed to Palm Beach for another golf weekend.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

I already can't afford the $500+ for premiums, so I just don't have any. My kids don't either. I make decent money, but I'm spending thousands on groceries, and that's shopping sales, not eating out or buying steak.
