Blaming "politicians" for inaction on gun reform is both wrong and dangerous, and it will lead to more inaction. It's NOT "politicians," it's Republicans. Period. Democrats want more gun safety laws & have passed them wherever they're in control of government.

A brave leader during the Underground Railroad movement, Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery and spent 11 years guiding other enslaved people to freedom through the Underground as a conductor. Tubman was also a spy, scout, nurse, and soldier in the Civil War for the Union Army.

Where was all this scrutiny for previous VPs? I don’t remember any of them being particularly remarkable or outstanding in anyway but there was no questioning their ability to succeed the presidency.
Why must VP Harris work twice as hard to prove she’s just as capable. This is gross.

Never has a VP been scrutinized and received such negative press for doing their job as VP Harris. No one was concerned about what Pence, Biden, or Gore was doing as VP’s they were left alone. Black women are held to a higher standard. Let’s start posting her accomplishments so, it can go viral.

Just finished Descendant (Netflix) and a direct descendant of the Clotilda’s captain gets included on a trip to the site of the wreckage, along with direct descendants of the slaves. This dude is going to sit there and say “I read the captain was really nice to the captives. He treated them well”

So, I listened when everyone said I had to watch #TheLastofUs .
Then, I followed suit when people raved at how good #PokerFace is.
Finally, I was talked into seeing #Shrinking .
And they're all great. But, after the last three years, can't we have a new show that doesn't leave us gutted afterward?

Today is the one month anniversary of Julian Sands' disappearance while hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains.
May his family find peace, solace and closure.

So we saw THE AMAZING MAURICE, and it was a lot of fun. A little slight, maybe, but then it's not aimed at me — and plenty of Pratchett's thoughts on life and humanity and how they work made it in, if rather more breezily than in the books.
The designs are excellent and the voice cast is terrific.

The GOP doesn't want to fix #SocialSecurity .
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE FIXED.
They want to loot it for the donor class leaving the rest to age poor and die under their heel.
You already paid in.
This is wage theft writ large. A century long heist. #DontMessWithSocialSecurity
Every election matters.

10,000 words written solely in order to hide the very scary news that the FBI counter-intelligence head honcho in NYC was actively working for America's enemies.
And he did cheaply.

Before we talk about making people work longer to fund social security, or privatize social security to make it solvent, why don’t we just raise the fucking cap so people making several hundred thousand dollars a year or more simply pay into social security all year long? Problem solved.

Had a blast today making Paleolithic cave art in #experimentalarchaeology using brushes and spitting techniques to apply charcoal and red ochre paints. Students and faculty really got into it and gained insights through #HandOnHistory .

I know beta apps can be annoying at times, and Spoutible is no different. But rest assured we are working on fixing the issues. We were able to handle the increased load today with minor latency issues. It was a significant improvement from just two days ago. Nothing worth doing is easy.

I didn't show up at the ceremony to collect any of my first three Oscars. Once I went fishing, another time there was a war on, and on another occasion, I remember, I was suddenly taken drunk. ~ John Ford
