Sure, I’ll awkwardly RT semi-old, good news so I can pin it to my profile. 😅.

@DaPineapple1017 @Travelers Same experience. The customer phone line keeps routing only to a sales pitch for a random device. WTF, @travelers?!

Here is your reminder that Rumeysa Ozturk was arrested & jailed for over 6 weeks because she co-authored an op-ed that offended the government. Whatever your politics, that is genuinely dystopian.

@MaureenLangloss Beautiful. Sending you love today.

[Maureen Langloss @MaureenLangloss]

Please read this thread. It is so important to pay attention to all the horrible things these corrupt & craven congress people are trying to shove down our throats.

[Ruth LeFaive @ruthlefaive]

@MaureenLangloss Yeah. I’m thinking of shutting down my account.

[Maureen Langloss @MaureenLangloss]

YES! @SenBooker is still on the Senate floor! I'm sure Fox News is calling this a publicity stunt. But I say, BRING ON THE PUBLICITY. Keep talking. Be loud. We want our Democratic senators to bring the truth to the light, to fight for us, to stand the fuck up.

[Ruth LeFaive @ruthlefaive]

@MaureenLangloss @SenBooker This is giving me life today!
