Tommy Tuberville made America weaker.
He hurt our military. He hurt our national security. He does not deserve to spend another MINUTE in the United States Senate.

There's something so absolutely sick and twisted about a world that makes children afraid to read. My heart breaks. #bookbanning

Better yet: sign on for a modest *monthly* amount. That way @cbouzy and crew know they can count on ongoing support. Stability is a good thing. Spread the word by echoing and quoting.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyWired mocked us because we didn't raise millions like our competitors. I used the little resources we had and out-engineered every Twitter alternative. So now imagine what we could do with more resources.

The U.S. really needs to up its advertising game. To promote the use of its condoms, Japanese company Sagami hired choreographer Russell Maliphant & his dancers to interpret animal mating rituals on London's South Bank, to the consternation and delight of passers-by.

Y'all, we really need to go in to help and save the trans community. The republican party's goal against them is the same as Hitler against the Jews. If you know the real history of the world, you know that we cannot sit by and remain silent.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but you should spare some of your attention for the Vice President’s trip to Africa this week. She’s doing important work to strengthen our international relationships in a critical region of the world.

Rudy Giuliani can’t afford a lawyer.
Rudy Giuliani had to take out a bail bond to pay for his bail.

Who paid for it?

Republicans would have you believe there’s more to fear from drag shows than from gun violence terrorizing our schools.
Gun safety is too “woke” for the Republican Party.

Um . . .How about being informed enough to remember that Barr was the AG who squashed the FBI investigation when Kavanaugh was rammed through the confirmation process? Merrick Garland has been quietly cleaning up many Barr-created messes.

I recommend giving @deonandan a follow. As an epidemiologist he has done an admirable job here in Canada in cutting through all the BS around COVID and has always been ready to answer questions...
