My current plan. If I follow you here I'm going to look for you on other social media platforms & follow you there. IfI find you there I'm unfollowing you here. In theory eventually I'll have found a replacement account for everybody I want to find & then I'll be done with X.

Hey Universe: I'm ready for that famous author with many, many devoted followers to somehow come across my books, then read the latest one, love it & then RAVE about it across social media. Just sayin'.

If only there was some group of people who could Just Say No to this. You know, a group of true patriots, citizens who believe in the rule of law & the Constitution? A group that stands up to tyrants & their malicious misbegotten behavior? Like, oh, I don't know... legislators?
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
@Rainmaker1973 Say goodbye to the birds & bats that feed on mosquitoes.
Say goodbye to orchids that mosquitoes pollinate.
And do you think Google will take responsibilty for those or other negative effects? No.

Deputy Jessie Torres has trailed wolves for miles in the high wilderness of western New Mexico. She knows sometimes the best way to catch a predator is to let it step into a trap it can't resist.

I wonder if the FBI & police departments across the US are actually worried Ayers will flood their offices with screenshots? I mean, wouldn't that be considered a kind of DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack on them?

Dear Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins: Biden must have been a much more powerful president than I thought if Trump's been in office almost a year and a half and yet today's beef prices are Biden's fault.

@7Veritas4 If only there was some way to get a new commander-in-chief. If only there were people who would take action. I can't imagine who those people would be, since I always thought it was the ones we elected to represent us, but those guys aren't interested.
@RepMikeLevin We are suffering today because our legislators keep telling us what's wrong. We don't want to know what's wrong, we want legislators, who have the actual power to correct the problems, to actively & aggressively correct the problems!
IMPEACH, REMOVE, IMPRISON!
#EpsteinFiles
@RepMikeLevin Of course not enough people are talking about this. There are about a thousand other crises that we are supposed to care deeply about. Many of them impact us more directly than Orbán undermining our elections two Novembers ago. We simply CANNOT talk about everything.
