@Tacitus_Kilgore Heh! Our greyhound, fastest dogs on earth, was afraid of chained up bicycles. Not moving ones, just if they were standing still.

Possible I am related to her since my great great great grandmother was Sibilla Bertha Jonas (1792 Dortsfeld - 1885 Ebergeld).
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 >

Itโs possible the tied race reflects not the sentiments of the voters, but rather risk-averse decision-making by pollsters
Some, they suggested, may be wary of findings indicating unusually large leads for one candidate and introducing corrective weighting.

Anyone on here in #Ottawa? Democrats Abroad will be having its election watch at the Carleton Tavern right off of Parkdale Park.
@TheLegend_AZ Heโs got far to much money to have to worry about facing the same consequences as regular people.
@hallmarc No, I meant after the election and inauguration.
If we want to get rid of Citizens United, it is going to take the people participating in a General Strike. You are not going to convince the people who benefit from Citizens United to turn off the cash cow. They will find millions of rea$ons that no change can possibly be made forever. If we want the corruption to stop, it is up to us, the people, to stop it. It takes courage and perseverance, but unions get changes like this all the time.
This Julia Roberts ad sure stirred the pot. It wasn't "hey, we don't do that" it was "hey, how dare you suggest " lying to your MAGA husband is ok!!"
@FrankCannon @ZonaPellucida You're right. He was given advantages, stays and even had things thrown out of court by partisan judges.
Appeals don't work -- the corruption goes all the way up to SCOTUS.
The only way to solve this would have been for Biden to grow and stack SCOTUS, which would have destabilised the country even more.
The blatant corruption on the republican side with election tampering, voter interference, and whatever the hell else Musk is doing will need a reckoning.
@FrankCannon @ZonaPellucida I think everything is on pause until the election results are in.
But in my estimation, the tensions have never been higher. TFG's supporters think they're the aggrieved ones. Indeed, they've turned that into their whole brand.
As a result, they've created a powder-keg I don't even think they're aware of. They're only listening to their own echo chambers.
But who TFG is promising positions of power to are profoundly dangerous. It's a truly horrific scenario.
@sumpnlikefaith @FrankCannon I think we would be looking at fortifying networks to provide assistance to people being targeted like immigrants, LGBTQ, Muslims, Jews, women needing reproductive care, etc. Not politics.
@mcfate Donโt worry, Iโm doing my part. You just worry about what you can do.
@hallmarc If he wins, heโs going to sweep out a large portion of the management in the various agencies and put in their own people, unlike last time. Iโm not worried about sleepers. Itโs the reshaping of the federal executive branch thatโs concerning. SCOTUS makes it worse, of course, since they wonโt stop anything.
