I’ve been hanging into Xitter to try to stay engaged, but it’s maybe time for all of us to go

This is devastating. A dedicated park ranger, fired overnight, left wondering how to support his family. Public servants shouldn’t be political casualties. Our national parks and the people who protect them deserve better. #ProtectPublicService #NationalParks

It’s fascinating listening to POTUS explain to @Lawrence not just what he did, but WHY he did it…to serve the American people.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Elon Musk just announced that X will start penalizing negativity and propping up posts that are positive. This is definitely interesting timing, given the fact that X essentially rewarded negativity when Biden was president, but is shifting to penalize negativity under Trump.

To be clear, I object to his false attribution of the prayer to Jefferson - part of the endless Christian nationalist campaign to remake Jefferson into a devout Christian when he was actually an enlightenment era freethinker who thought religion should remain private and out of government.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

There has never been a President who lost an election and refused to accept the result, then committed crimes trying to overthrow the result, and who was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and who conspired to obstruct the search for classified documents, and who pressured Georgia election officials to overturn their election results. There’s never been a President as corrupt & criminal as you. Quit crying.

craven, contemptible weakling
