So, Elon Musk reinstates Flynn on Twitter on the 2 year Anniversary of Jan 6.

He fires people in Twitter Brazil in charge of moderation, ie keeping an eye on inciting violence, etc.

On the day after Brazil insurrection he reinstates Ali Alexander, yes the "stop the steal" a**hole who is partly responsible for the Jan 6 insurrection.

He's not trying to hide what he's up to.

He's stoking the flames of fascism and violence.

Elon Musk is a terrorist.

The House Speaker Election shows us that Republicans in the House are functioning within a dysfunctional control system based on division, threats and extortion while the Democrats are functioning within a sound system of Governance based on Unity and fundamental Principles of Democracy.

It’s been a while, but as a former Republican, today’s Republicans are a Complete Disgrace, while the Democrats in both the House and Senate make me Proud to be an American.

Today, I’m Proud to be a Democrat.

@Gleng2 @TrisResists I cannot speak for all black people, but we are primarily conservative because we grew up in the church. However, so many factors forced us to be progressive. I believe it's a matter of self-preservation. Conservatives don't want anything to change. That doesn't bode well for our survival. That's how I understand my left-wing radicalism. It's for self-preservation and our dignity. I don't know if this makes sense.

I voted no on adjourning the House tonight. We have work to do.

Since the first vote for Speaker, 212 members of the House Democrats have been united behind Hakeem Jeffries. However, over the course of these 6 votes, Mr. McCarthy has lost two supporters.

No matter how this ends, it’s clear House Republicans are incapable of governing.
 
When we finally elect a Speaker, I look forward to being sworn in and doing what I’ve always done: work my hat off for the people of North Carolina.

No Democrat should *ever* help this insurrection backer, McCarthy, to become Speaker by voting “present”.

“the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol referred four GOP members of Congress to the House Ethics Committee for sanctions for failing to comply with the select committee's subpoenas.

Those four members are House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Andy Biggs, Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Scott Perry, all close allies of Trump.”

Kevin McCarthy is the most aggressively mediocre public official to achieve this level of fame since Dan Quayle.

I’ve been dabbling here and a few other places trying to find a new home, so it’s probably about time I start posting a bit. I’m an amateur nature photographer usually found wandering around looking for birds.
