As much as I'll miss it, I find it unethical to participate in a Twitter owned by a man mainstreaming literal fascists because free speech, yet who blocks me because I once tweeted something snarky about Tesla.
So I'm stepping away while I decide whether to delete my account.

Tyson Foods, the largest chicken producer in the nation, will pay $10.5 million as a result of our price-fixing case against it. If you bought chicken in the last decade, you were impacted by this conspiracy.

It's simple, he's a national security threat. He's playing footsie w Putin and, as this article points out, Saudi and Chinese owned companies. Letting Musk buy is insane

I mean they actually did quite a lot with a majority dependent on the votes of a literal coal baron and the world's biggest dipshit.
Quote Tweet
Vote Democrat so they can expand their majority and continue talking about all the things they could do if their majority was just a little bit bigger

The problem with producing centrist, independent news that treats both sides equally is that such a format presupposes an equal commitment to facts and truth. Debate can then proceed based on the interpretation and emphasis put on those facts.

Well done to Liz Truss, who managed to stay in 10 Downing Street for the same number of days as David Blaine managed to fast in a suspended glass box

This is torn directly from Jim Crow, as were the migrant flights. DeSantis is officially America's most racist post-Civil Rights Act governor. But gas prices, amirite?
Quote Tweet
Tampa police carrying out the first arrests of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ new election security force were surprised and almost sympathetic. “I’ve never seen these charges before in my entire life,” one officer said. trib.al/oJIDNog

Fixed you're headline for you :

I keep warning Jewish Republicans that the GOP has indeed become a fascist party and if they think their fellow GOPers won't ultimately turn on them, they don't understand Jewish history. These are National Christianists, and they're coming for us Jews.

I guess the reason why evangelical Christians are so enthusiastically supportive of Herschel Walker is that he is so clearly opposed to birth control?

Weird* how Republicans like DeSantis who want to shrink government to the size where they can drown it in a bathtub are suddenly huge fans of big guvmint bailouts once their own states are literally drowning.

Boy, that had to be tough for DeSantis to thank President Biden and all of the socialism helping his state at the moment. Whew.

Think about this: because there's no tip penalty in WA, Seattle's minimum wage for tipped employees will be nearly NINE TIMES the federal $2.13 an hour (unchanged since 1991), and yet our restaurant and hotel industry is suffering from a labor shortage.
Quote Tweet
The Seattle minimum wage for most workers will be adjusted to $18.69/hour in 2023.
So many of us are drowning amid soaring prices for rent, groceries, and gas—this automatic adjustment ensures we don't take a pay cut. twitter.com/OLS_SEA/status…

Damn you, highest in the nation $15.74 per hour minimum wage!*
