So I decided to reopen my account for one thing.
To pin a tweet with info on where I can be found to continue the conversation.

In all seriousness, during the Uvalde incident I tweeted a bunch. Somehow, Twitter decided it was spam and locked my account. With Elon’s pending purchase, I knew where things were headed. So I just decided to never appeal and quit Twitter. And all my predictions came true.

It was a fun ride everyone. But I have no interest in participating in what it looks like this app as-is will continue to devolve into.
If other sites pop up, I’ll add to pinned tweet and profile.
Maybe this all self corrects, and Twitter becomes viable again…
But until then

And from what I can tell, this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
However, I do miss interacting with many of you, including some followers I disagreed with more than I agreed with.
An echo chamber isn’t interesting nor helpful. We all need to have our views tested.

Masks for kids —- no way
Huge fences, metal detectors, and frisking of kids - Let’s go!!

Fox is doing everything short of outright blaming the school for being a "soft target." Here they criticize Robb Elementary School for having "flimsy fencing" that didn't stop the shooter.

We tried Republican gun policies for 20 years now and all we have to show for it are lots of dead bodies.

He’s headed back for the NRA convention. Shouldn’t reporters make this clear?
24 May 2022
Sen. Cornyn of Texas says he’ll be heading back to his state after the mass shooting. “There’s no words to describe how horrific this is. The investigation is ongoing and thankfully the shooter is out commission”

Robb Elementary students went to school today ready to laugh with friends, exchange ideas, and learn. Fourteen aren’t ever coming home.
These deaths come days after shootings in Buffalo, Houston, and here in Orange County. Another day is too long to wait to reduce gun violence.

Gun Control is an 80/20 issue. Dems still do nothing except tweet and go on tv. Kids organized a March and then were summarily dismissed by Dems. Fred Guttenberg has been fighting forever. Dems can’t be bothered. This is no different
The only real option available is new Dems🤷♂️

There’s an election in November.
I guarantee you the GOP won’t take any action.
So why are Democrats begging them.
Take action and force GOP to respond. Force folks like Cuellar and Manchin to respond.
Get caught trying to be strong for goodness sakes.
