The murder of Navalny is devastating. I am crying for his family and all of Russia. He was one of the most courageous men to walk this Earth.
@nancylwayne well, it is a beautiful pot. Unique and something special!
@kissane good to know. I spent $67 on 4 covid tests at a CVS in Manhattan today.

Trump is still a candidate for president because he has deep-pocketed billionaires, foreign and domestic, funding the necessary mass malign influence campaigns that incites the GOP base.

These 63 billionaires are prepared to do anything, literally anything, to shield Trump.

Koch. Murdoch. Griffin. Ellison. Yass. Thiel. Singer. Schwarzman. Marcus. Harlan Crow. Tim Dunn. Farris Wilks. Kelcy Warren. Bigelow. Ruffin. Lauder. Barre Seid.

Holy shit. Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-language network, has decided to cancel ad-buys by the #Biden campaign in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, & Florida after #Trump met with their executives last week. Our media continues to fail us. This is how our democracy dies.

Here’s what went down: we just won a clean 45 day gov extension, stripped GOP’s earlier 30% cuts to Social Security admin etc, staved off last minute anti-immigrant hijinks, and averted shutdown (for now).

People will get paychecks and MTG threw a tantrum on the way out. Win-win

@GottaLaff Jealous! Sounds great! My father was born and raised in Canada. Came to NY to get his Ph.d in 1959. No longer has his Canadian ID or "social security" number. Could I still derive? Know of a decent attorney?
