Today I'm excited, and proud, to announce the launch of The Pub (@ThePubNetwork), a news-oriented social network.
@ThePubNetwork The Pub adapts the model that's proven successful for Grabien, a B2B news-prep service, to the mass market — in short, breaking down the barrier between "the press" and "the people," so that everyone can shape the stories that shape societies.
@ThePubNetwork At the Pub, all are welcome, stories are shared, and the conversation is a little more fun and free-wheeling.
The Pub turns the traditional social media model upside down & inside out. At other social networks, your content makes them rich. Not at The Pub.

One way you can tell the D.C. statehood push has nothing to do w/ “taxation w/o representation”: These activists oppose proposals to “retrocede” D.C. into Maryland (besides federal buildings); they do so b/c they explicitly want more power for Democrats
.@RashidaTlaib: Republicans “and their dark money backers” at @Heritage are “shameful” in opposing D.C. statehood, preserving an "authoritarian system implemented by a bunch of elites who thought it was okay to enslave people for their selfish monetary gains 100s of years ago"
@RashidaTlaib@Heritage .@MayorBowser says she opposes D.C. residents gaining the ability to vote by merging with Maryland: “We’re not residents of Maryland”
@RandPaul Fauci tells CNN: "I’m afraid, if people hear what [@RandPaul] says, and believe it, and you have an elderly person who has been infected, and they decide, ‘Well, Rand Paul says let’s not wear a mask,’ they won’t. They could get reinfected again and get into trouble."
The killings in Atlanta are horrifying. The murderer is obviously a very disturbed and very evil person.
Unfortunately the media's inability to think beyond race minimizes the actual tragedy. There were people, not mere members of some larger color group. 1/
If someone in your family were killed in cold blood, would you want the headline to read, "Ax-Wielding Lunatic Murders White Guy" or "Gunman Murders Asian Woman"? 2/
