Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >

Not to be downer doggie here, but framing one’s thinking around “the next 4 years” is denial. We’re about to go through an unraveling of American expectations. Trump is just a figurehead, a means to mean ends. ALEC and the wannabe oligarchs are prepared for a constitutional convention to rewrite the rules.
Someone at work responded to my mild good morning with "How are you?!" to which I replied "Wrong question. " And now I'm going to apologize for being a grouch when they deserved none of my terseness.
“There’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems,” [Octavia E.] Butler said. “There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.”

"There’s no subtlety in what the results of the Electoral College tell us: This is a country where half the population is content in their hatred of women, of queer people, of brown and black people, of anyone who comes to the United States from a poorer country."

Missouri Voters Reverse Abortion Ban
Amendment 3 passes, restoring and protecting reproductive rights
You did it, Missouri! Republicans tried everything in their power to keep abortion off the ballot and to stop voters from having a say, but you won anyway. A huge congratulations to Missourians for Constitutional Freedom.
What’s also remarkable about Missouri’s win is that pro-choice activists persevered despite enormous Republican-enacted hurdles.

Right there with ya, sis! If I lived in so many other states rather than Maryland, I would be violently ill right about now. You know, instead of really nauseous. 🤢
Canceled WaPo so subscription expires Nov. 18. Will miss excellent reporting like this.
"When our government works well, it is our best tool for building a country that works for all of us. And if young people aren’t a major part of that government, then we will get the results we deserve."

I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
Means 3 things at least:
1. They are reading them.
2. They are afraid of them being seen by others.
3. They are criminals (at a minimum, misdemeanor).

MD is a no ID state because the ID was used at time of registering. The Musk-described conduct could not happen. Name, age, and/or address would not match or would show already voted.
You know what increases the risk of Voter fraud? Forcing your state to stop participating in the multi-state registration rolls updates. You could vote in 2 or more states that don't compare their rolls to remove and verify when you move away. Still a crime, but possible to commit it.

If you feel especially apprehensive or despondent lately, don’t discount the influence of fewer hours of sunlight and falling serotonin levels. This annual biochemical mischief has been messing with us since our cave days, when the return of the sun was a matter of speculation, not certainty. Holding our elections during this already emotionally fraught time significantly amplifies our
anxiety. Guard your #MentalHealth and amplify your #SelfCare efforts. It’s not you; this really is rough.

And sugar. Weird candies no one makes any other time of year because they are weird. Crispy chow mein noodles drizzled with chocolate??
We can start a new CoSo war: Fudge vs. Divinity
Worked 6 of 8 days in-person Early Voting. I just can't shake the memory of one unpleasant interaction. A voter had folded the Voter Authority card. It needs to be flat and has details to check & confirm at 3 steps in the process after check-in. I thought the fold was weird so, after instructing on use of the touchscreen ballot marking device/printer, I flattened the VAC.
The voter went 6 kinds of ballistic over why I was looking at the party affiliation. (it was irrelevant to me). AITA?
