If you are making your calls for @vanhollen.senate.gov to be majority leader in the senate, make sure to call your represenatives in the house to demand they support @pressley.house.gov as well. We need new Democratic leadership in BOTH bodies.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov · yesterday

Democrats, the people gave us a mandate for bold, transformative change. And our majority must meet their cries with action.

My most anti-tech take is there probably shouldn't be an app for that. No, not for that either. I am beyond sick of universities governments and everyone else using third-party services for things like identity verification or handling paperwork, or email, or scheduling.

I am fascinated by the market segment that think, "you know - I like Smart glasses, Ring cameras and Flock tracking but sometimes it just feel like I need more surveillance."

Yet another reason to replace Schumer with someone who actually will be tough.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

"If Schumer is as tough as his defenders claim, with his new majority he should treat Trump’s appointees during his final two years in office exactly how McConnell treated Obama’s: By refusing to confirm any Trump Supreme Court appointee and almost every federal appeals court nominee."

This trans awareness week, please remember: - There are thousands of Black trans women among the 600,000 Black women this administration made unemployed. Plus, Black trans women receive over 70% of the violence directed at the trans community.

Most people who use Microsoft products are forced tp do so by the corporations or institutions they work for directly or indirectly. No one wants to use Microsoft's decaying, trash software. I use Libre's Open Office because I can.

I'll add that the more pushback they get, the more active and organized the people are, the harder it will be for them to carry out the harm they wish to inflict.

This is how fascists behave. They don't stop until you stop them. If they experience a loss, they get more violent, more unhinged, more extreme in their desire to inflict pain and retribution. This ultimately leads to their downfall. If we stay strong and don't surrender, but instead push back.

If you thought Trump and Republicans were going to course correct after the American people sent him and the sycophants in his party an overwhelming rebuke in the midterms, you were very wrong. Their response is to double down on everything that disgusted people.

I've been trusting them on a whole bunch of stuff I didn't really know about and it sounded good and really confident and it sounds like they did a lot of reading. But really? Now I question everything. Because they just sounded just as good and just as confident spouting what I KNOW IS BULLSHIT.

Better yet, find something they said on something you know about. I'll often think I'm impressed by a person, and then, they offer and opinion or analysis on dopamine. OH no. Oh NO. Suddenly I realize they know NOTHING about dopamine. They can't pronounce accumbens. And then I look again.

When you're impressed by someone, ask WHY you're impressed. When they start making vague threatening Roman references, go read Suetonius, or Caesar or Pliny. See if you take away the same interpretations. Read the science they cite!
