One man gathers what another man spills. At length Locutus of Borg on Twitter. #Resist

So many giant companies thought the Metaverse would be the next frontier for social media.

Instead, it looks like it's the Fediverse that's the next frontier.

AND . . . prosecuting the leader of a violent insurrection would deter others from doing things like . . . shooting up the homes of their political opponents (Solomon Peña). But REFUSING to bring timely charges tacitly encourages people to act out violently fueled by the big lie. https://twitter.com/richsignorelli/status/1616489412891639822

“Imposition of sanctions, as happened yesterday, deters litigants & their counsel from pursuing frivolous actions. We need more sanctions imposed on any litigant who files a clearly meritless action. No more playing nice.”

‘It used to be like heaven’: the Iraq wetlands decimated by the climate crisis – in pictures

The people of the Hawizeh marshes of southern Iraq have an ancient history living in the world’s most unique and biodiverse wetlands. The region has been reduced to near-desert as a result of the climate crisis, devastated by drought and man-made dams. Thousands of families are having to leave.

Maybe instead of kicking grandma into the streets the GOP should help fix this. High earners and the wealthy stop paying into Social Security after reaching the FICA cap but can still collect. The more you make the less your effective contribution. Does tht seem fair to you? https://www.axios.com/2023/01/19/social-security-inequality#ResistanceUnited #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #ProudBlue

Pennsylvania Allegheny County friends-

On February 7th, there will be 3 special elections to fill the seats vacant from the election of Austin Davis to Lt, Governor, Summer Lee to the U.S. House, and from the unfortunate passing of Mike DeLuca.

The balance of power in the state House of Representatives will be determined by voters in three districts in the eastern part of the county: the 32nd, the 34th, and the 35th. Democrats need to win all three in order to solidify control of the House and keep Republicans from undermining the legislative process by passing bad constitutional amendments, which bypass the Governor.

Things on the PA Republican agenda include anti-abortion rights legislation and other right wing agenda items.
