So, I dropped Twitter back in December, and so I wanted to see how many referrals I got:

Well, I have 14,400 followers on Twitter, and yet, this is the referrals graph per month.

In November, before I stopped using Twitter, my referrals from Twitter was only 129 clicks for that entire month. With 14,400 followers and hundreds of tweets, that's quite pathetic.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of this Democratic strategy, this time being pulled by @WisDems. Who pays the price if the GOP extremist wins the general? Answer: Everyone. Can voters be entirely blamed if that happens? Answer: No.

Democrats Meddle in Wisconsin Republican Primary

In a race for a State Senate seat in Wisconsin, Democrats are replicating their midterm strategy of elevating far-right Republicans in hopes of beating them in the general election.

"Dehumanizing the 'other' to the nth degree is an overpriced ticket into a tight-knit but everlastingly blind herd of fellows far too susceptible to flattery and other types of manipulation."

Having a measure of good faith, vulnerability, and humility can actually make us harder to deceive.

"If we can strategically picture ourselves in our fellow Americans’ shoes, whether we agree with their opinions or not, we can innoculate ourselves substantially against the influence of the oversimplifying forces that would have us either credit or dismiss them far too hastily. Greater nuance could enrich our world views."

George Will (2021): "We have something new in American history. We have a political party defined by the terror it feels for its own voters. That's the Republican Party right now."

"As local economies grapple with a tightening labor market, some state legislatures are looking to relax child labor protections to help employers meet hiring needs."

In a tight labor market, some states look to another type of worker: Children

Bills advancing in the Iowa and Minnesota state legislatures would roll back child workplace protections to address worker shortages.

“If you want to hang with Steve Bannon, Seb Gorka, Kari Lake, and Marjorie Taylor Greene—go to CPAC. If you want to hang with former commanding generals and diplomatic leads to discuss Putin’s war in Ukraine, come to the Principles First Summit: https://t.co/ogC8R0b5Oj”

Nikki Haley Threw It All Away

This seems to be a trend among attorneys foolish enough to work for Trump. This + the fact that he doesn't pay his bills makes me wonder that there still are any such suckers out there.

Opinion | Nikki Haley Threw It All Away

No political figure better illustrates the tragic collapse of the modern Republican Party than the former governor of South Carolina.
