Hey @nytimes.com what the FUCK sort of headline is this? Sure the content is relevant but the sheer number of protesters is SO FUCKING RELEVANT TOO particularly given how much the GOP worked to reduce the turnout by maligning anyone who turned up as a terrorist. #nokings

Optics - the day after Trump tries to insult Chuck by calling him a Palestinian and not a Jew, Schumer caves and here’s how Fox spins it. Can my Senator please grow a spine?

RIP Jimmy Carter, whose loss in 1980 was one of my first US political memories of note. I am thrilled he had the sense to die while Biden was still President and with enough time for it to be Biden and not Trump to lead at his funeral.

I left Twitter in Nov22 as I couldn’t be a part of such vitriol & having joined social media in the late 00’s when I was fleetingly well known, I was used to vitriol, just not the Musk kind.I wanted Threads to succeed but my timeline’s gone quiet as there’ll over here but don’t want an echo chamber!
