Sorry to hear this, Randahl. So frustrating for you. Some time ago, I muted the account that blew this up. precisely because of their tendency to jump to conclusions and react like this, seemingly without thought or investigation. I'm not referring to Harriet here.

It will blow over, keep up the good work - you're very much appreciated here!!

It's like removing the battery from your carbon monoxide alarm because the incessant beeping is giving you a headache and making you feel nauseous

Apart from Canada at 14, the top 18 are in Europe
Expanding audience is one thing, but this is not a plan except in the most cynical sense possible. Alao: how can I hire that cheeky reporter?
Does Trump think “windfall” is a type of windmill? (The piece he links to does not mention wind energy.)
Elon didn’t have an H1B visa, he received a student visa to attend Stanford university and then never left. He is the definition of an illegal immigrant who stole American jobs.
On the plus side: Nice vacay place and the Mounjaro is working. On the minus: What bottomless hole of insecurity would cause you to create a fake persona to compliment your own parenting?

If the US administration is afraid of being seen to be taking escalatory actions, simply put the onus on Putin:

"If you use foreign supplied weapons in Ukraine, we will allow Ukraine to use our weapons in Russia"
