If I post what I really think of Kristi Noem I will be banned. Suffice it to say that I would never support her for any public office at any level. EVER.

1/ Two years ago today, on 4/25/22, Twitter’s Board accepted Elon Musk’s offer to acquire the company at $54.20/share.

As an ex-director for civic integrity at Twitter, I’ve watched what Musk has done since then.

And today is my last post on this platform.

I’m leaving.

My wife has made it through the surgery! There were a few complications, but I believe she is going to be ok. Thank you to all of you!

I believe many of us are making a mistake when we talk about groups of people. For example, in the phrase “trans people” the important word is “people”, not “trans”. They are not demons, filth or vermin. They are people with dreams, love, ambitions, needs and gifts.

🚨🚨🚨THIS is Project 2025.
THIS is what Trump & Republicans have drawn up to rule America in 2025. It’s still very underreported. This ENDS America and democracy as we know it. Understand #Project2025 and inform everyone you know!

I found this puffball under a sago palm in my yard. Anyone care to enlighten me about it?

Murphy and I want to wish all of you a peaceful and happy Thanksgiving - no matter how that might look for you.

Spoke at #UNGA78 : Moldova is at the forefront of the fight for democracy. Facing hybrid threats, we are holding the line.

From the high rostrum of United Nations today, I called on the free world to support us. Because the fight for democracy anywhere is the fight for democracy everywhere.

Stop calling it “school choice.”

Choice schools aren’t accountable to the public

They are run by corporations
They are peddled by millionaires
They are funded by taxpayers
They are compelled by a grift

School choice means the schools choose. School choice is a scam.

I am not a prolific Tweeter. But since we do not know if this app will survive I must say a few things.
President Biden beat Trump.
Feed kids.
Everyone should have the same rights. (Yes, that includes people who don’t look or think like I do. Everyone.)
Kindness is never wasted

Publicly debating antivaxxers, while superficially appealing, is a bad idea.

A) AVers aren’t bound by science. RFK will firehose a million bad claims, Hotez won’t be able to refute them all, and he’ll claim victory
B) Creates the impression this is a “50:50” issue worth debating

FLs $8K vouchers led school to increase tuition to $10-12K

“Instead of paying $6,000 per child, families at the sch who are St. Paul parish members will now be charged $10,000 per child. Nonmembers will be charged $12,000 per child, instead of $7,000.” tampabay.com/news/education…

Fucking enlightened centrists will load us on to train cars, all the while saying 'why are you taking this personally?'

MY FUCKING ERADICATION IS PRETTY FUCKING PERSONAL.

On this Day of Trans Visibility I want to thank all of the trans people I follow. You have educated and enlightened me in so many ways. I speak up for you in these dangerous times and I will continue to do so. Best wishes to all of you. #TransDayofVisability
