Look folks, I know it's hard out there right now, but _violence is not the answer._

We need to be better.

I know I don’t have as big of a following here as on Facebook (and I’m ultimately probably going to break my Facebook hiatus to post this there too, because safety is more important than politics), but if you’re pretty much anywhere within 200 miles of the Mississippi River tomorrow (3/14)…

I have never watched an episode of TV more emotionally impactful than season 1 episode 3 of The Last of Us. I watch it, and rewatch it, and I never get tired of it.
It's a complete departure from the source material, and in the best way. Nick Offerman's performance is legendary.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Like I mentioned before, the base product, what Facebook _used_ to be, is great. The ability to talk _just_ to your circle, to have complete control over visibility, doesn't exist in any other social network (to my knowledge).

One week Facebook-free. Surprisingly little withdrawal. Probably helps that I didn't have a free minute all week.

Character matters. It does.
And no amount of tough talk on TV can make up for Pete Hegseth's distinct lack of character.

1/2 The thing about losing Facebook is, that as far as social media goes, it's fairly unique (or at least it was). It was the only social media that was invite-by-default. Only the people I wanted to see my posts could see my posts, and I got to make my circle.
