I have a little happy story for you--

@ShazzaRazza has a delightful Etsy shop where she sells adorable little gnome gift boxes (among other things)

I ordered one and had it sent to a dear friend.

She received it tonight--it was waiting for her after a long, unpleasant day--and she is thrilled! Now feels in the spirit for the Thanksgiving holiday 💕

Thank you ShazzaRazza for helping to make my friend feel special and happy.

Link to the shop below 😍

The Democrats @TheDemocrats

Good news: Democrats in Montana gained 10 seats in the state House and 2 seats in the state Senate—breaking the GOP supermajority.

That’s the most seats Democrats have won in the Montana legislature in 30 years.

When I set out on this journey 7 years ago, I I specifically did NOT want to emulate Twitter.

I wanted to make it curatable, algo-free, user-defined.

I don't mind admitting, I half back-pedaled & created 'Simplified Mode' - in ur far right main menu, but secretly hope nobody uses it.

Since we launched there's been countless popups tryna 'be' the next Twitter.

COSO has always stuck with it's roots & it shows. If you aren't smart enough to figure it out, you'll weed yourself out.

In a transition, the president, not the president elect, orders FBI background checks on all known nominees for cabinet and other executive branch employees

So do it
And then read it into the congressional record

Fun Fact: Trump's slim lead in the popular vote continues to narrow, The numbers are as follows:

Trump: 76,775,396 / 49.9%

Harris: 74,204,635 / 48.3%

That's only a 1.6% margin.

His margin of victory is one of the smallest in history, like his inauguration crowd and... other things.

Happy birthday to President Joe Biden! He’s a good man who’s dedicated his life to public service. We truly couldn’t ask for a better president.

MAD IDEA: Biden pardons all undocumented immigrants. It would be an official act, he's immune from... apparently ANYTHING.

Supreme Court wanna set a legal precedence by over-turning it??

Great. Good!

Now let's see how Trump does pardoning 1000+ fucking insurrectionist traitors as he promised.

That's just one example. There's a lot of smart fuckery that could be done that might actually be helpful down the road.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel ripped into Donald Trump in a new memoir. “For him, all countries were in competition with each other, in which the success of one was the failure of the other; he did not believe that the prosperity of all could be increased through co-operation.”

yep

@th3j35t3r

Yes.

And there is precedent....

On Jan. 21, 1977, President Jimmy Carter, in his first full day in office, fulfilled a campaign promise by granting unconditional pardons to hundreds of thousands of men who had evaded the draft during the Vietnam War by fleeing the country or by failing to register with their Selective Service boards.

I haven't been here long enough to know if #CounterSocial has ever hit the 100% Funded Goal.

90% would be awesome, but imagine knowing how it feels to do @th3j35t3r a solid for all his hard work, dedication and caring.

Mark Milley disagrees with Trump pick on women in combat

“Don’t lecture me about women in combat,” Milley said at a national security innovation event hosted by the Pallas Foundation. “Women have been in combat, and it doesn't matter if that 7.62 [caliber round] hits you in the chest. No one gives a shit if it's a woman or a guy to pull that trigger, you're still dead.”
