AKA natasharesists on that birdsite. I’m here to resist the Trumpist kleptocracy, whatever it takes. I hang with @IronMan2020, #HeroesResist, and other friends. #Shawarma
PoliticsYes, lots
CatsVery much so

Good morning.

#HeroesResist decided a short time ago to move our accounts to mstdn.social run by our pal @stux and today is the day. It automatically will keep anyone following me as my followers.

I am in the process of doing that and others will likely join me.

It's not necessary to move to interact with us or people on other instances. It's just the place your account lives.

But I will post instructions on how to do it. It's easy. Plus, we like Stux. 💥

Maybe use some of that $6 trillion to build the social safety nets we needed before this crisis and clearly still do.

If Republicans can conjure a half trillion for Cruise Ships, they can keep Social Security and Medicare afloat.

The number of cases in the U.S. continues to soar, but the president is eager for the economy to get back to normal.

The Waffle House Index is real. Now that hundreds of locations are closing during the #coronavirus pandemic, maybe some people in those states who haven’t been taking it seriously will wake up to reality. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/489379-waffle-house-shutters-365-locations

For years, Oregon has had a vote by mail system. 

It works. Ballots and voters' pamphlets are sent to all voters. 

If a recount is necessary, paper ballots are there. Voting is done within the privacy of one's home, without risking one's health.

All states should implement such a system and we should all be demanding our states implement a system like this immediately.

@TPol
Sound decisions require logical reasoning.

Promoting the idea of risking one's life for no purpose other than some potential short-term material gain is not a logical decision.
