Excellent program Sunday afternoon at the Bexley Public Library with author @TimothyDSnyder discussing his new book On Freedom. Shift your focus from “Freedom From” => “Freedom To”
@thumbtack what is w/ your app? I have 2 email responses from service providers via thumbtack. I can’t get to the messages b/c your app is sending me through endless do loops of irrelevant q’s. Are you a service or a database useless-to-consumers nightmare? Please advise.

I am going to "live tweet" the year 1933, the year Hitler took office.
I will begin on Jan 30th, with his swearing in.
The goal of this project is so people can see how Germany went from a democracy to dictatorship in just
6 months.
Please tell your friends:
The Indianapolis Times: A Berlin friend of mine last Jan. 30 pushed his way through the crowds which for weeks had been standing outside the Hotel Kaiserhof—crowds of Hitler devotees thirsting for one moment's look at their idol as he might come and go at his headquarters in the hotel.
"Wie gets der Shope Adolf today?” he asked one of the tiny red coated. brass-buttoned bellboys who swarm in the lobby.
It was the common term. "Shone Adolf.” and the boys had bandied it about as freely as any other current slang.
"Ach der Reiehskanzler!” gasped the youngster in awe.
That was the day on which Hitler assumed office.
Only an hour before this he had moved diagonally across the Wilhemplatz from the hotel into the chancellery, and exactly then "Schone Adolf” ceased to be.
It is unheard today, even from opponents in their private homes. Instead, there is heard "the Reichkanzler,” "the Leader.” "Herr Hitler” and the “New Regime.” Men have been beaten since Jan 30 for saying "Shone Adolf.”
All Germans, anti as well as pro, take
him seriously.
@CassieJHill@RadioFreeTom Tying one’s view of the economy just to the cost of housing is naive. The housing crisis is a product of decades of NIMBYism across America. Want less expensive housing? Allow more housing to be built. Supply and demand. In any event, not the current President’s fault.
“The United States has so far provided military aid to Ukraine that amounts to roughly 1/10 of its total annual defense budget. In return, one of America’s most dangerous enemies has sacrificed almost all of its existing soldiers and the bulk of its armor.” Writes @RadioFreeTom.

“All of this chaos and misery was avoidable—and all of it stemmed from one election and the choices of a tiny number of Americans who could have averted these disasters” from @RadioFreeTom. Let’s hope the people who say their vote won’t matter get the message and VOTE in 2024!
.@Nextdoor curious why your company does such a poor job of moderating / determining what is misinformation? Your moderator removed my Nextdoor post, when it was factual and cited sources. Do you want to promote factual dialogue or not?
@Nextdoor @otdhoodrat I’ll try again to explain this since my first description wasn’t clear enough. Your company’s form & pull-down menus don’t have offer options that fit this situation, so that is a useless suggestion. Please provide another, actually useful, way to communicate the problem.
@Nextdoor People who were engaged in the conversation commented elsewhere that they were disappointed that it had been removed. Is the intent of your company to promote civil dialogue or not?
@Nextdoor My post didn’t t violate community standards. Some comments by others were misinformation, which I pointed out. Why would you remove the thread?
