We're nearly 20 years into the new millennium and instead of enjoying flying cars and self-cleaning kitchens, we're all hostages to a bunch of racist pedophiles who are kidnapping children and locking up American citizens based on their ancestry.

💭FTR, I'm part nerd, part geek. Some peers think I read the dictionary for fun, others think I'm Luna Lovegood. 2/x
Some of thread are of theories I've defended with sources, others are just relevant dots I've connected, a talent I developed in the corporate world, impacting millions in revenue and receivables.

Yes! IDK what this is, but this is sort of what my mind seems to do.
I have severe ADHD, and the rapid leaping between seemingly unrelated patterns combined with my IT support training in pinpointing malfunctions helps me make connections others don't see. 4/x
If you see something worthy, please get the info to a reputable journalist. Preferably this one:

Why aren't House Democrats fully investigating Trump and having closed-door hearings? 5/x
🔹The Senate won't indict (probably not),
🔹The Democrats will look bad (as opposed to now?),
🔹It'll be divisive (aligning together against a criminal, a hostile enemy agent?)...
All baloney excuses.
Check your news sources occasionally, and always check out unfamiliar ones Services like @snopes, @PolitiFact, and @MBFC_News should be getting regular visits from us.
One of the most common assumptions I see is that Democrats want to win the next election. The actions of some Democrats do not support that conclusion.
If you were an actor or politician and someone offered you tons of money to help big donors and/or the GOP, would you do it? Would you think about it? 2/
Could you even be persuaded to pledge your allegiance to a foreign government at the expense of the U.S. Capitol?
DO NOT CUT MEDICARE, @JoeBiden, end the filibuster and make #MedicareForAll happen if you truly want to be thought of as a modern-day FDR instead of a guy who took us further backward by cutting healthcare during a pandemic.
Joe Biden is no FDR. What an evil, scummy thing to do to the American people, especially during a pandemic. Massive cuts to Medicare because Democrats won't end the filibuster? Cuts to farm aid? With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
"The money is right there. It’s spent on bombs instead of homes. On cops instead of kids. On bailing out banks instead of families. Again the only argument against helping people is a lie." - @JoshuaPotash
Democrats have a majority, but Biden's cutting MEDICARE and FARM AID because of... Republicans? FUCK THAT! End the filibuster, you gormless <descending into incoherent and very unflattering mumbling> @SenateDems!
How dare they cut already sparse benefits from some of the most vulnerable people, especially during a pandemic! How dare they shrug away the mantle of a people's majority and pretend it's due to the Republicans' corruption instead of
their own greed and elitism. It's time to move forward and join other first world countries. It's time for #MedicareForAll.
"You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence."
"They don't give a shit what he does. He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period."
"He absolutely realizes that and plays it up, they love it, he knows they love it, and the fact that people act like it's anything other than that just proves that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around."
The U.S. needs a children's vote on issues relevant to them.
1/
Why? Because they're humans too, and they possess the wisdom of innocence from which we could become a kinder, safer, wiser nation. Their voices should be heard, and right now they're not.

A children's vote would also educate upcoming generations on the basics of good citizenship in a representative democracy. They would practice these basics such that once they become adults, they will understand and better perform their roles as citizens.
