I used Advanced Search for old tweets daily so I’m making my posts searchable via Tootfinder. But I guess we're getting search on Mastodon now too, which is nice

That's...not correct.

If he’s got a hand tremor that makes it difficult to control the fingertips, than most mouse buttons and many keyboards may not be usable

I developed a tremor (no one knows why) and suddenly all my peripherals are inaccessible

I never thought about using the mouse backwards. That sounds limiting. But I’d be willing to give it a shot

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Yet Clarence Thomas didn't recuse himself from arguments today in a case about the January 6 insurrection.

How is this not a scandal of epic proportions?

It is a scandal

Many things in our system are scandals

But our system is set up to prevent us from changing them

So, like families finding ways to live with abuse, all kinds of coping strategies obscure the fact that our democracy is broken and needs fundamental change

Voting reform, Supreme Court and Senate/Congressional term limits, voting rights, redistricting/gerrymandering, for gosh sakes bribery/campaign-funding/insider-trading reform…

Not to mention several Amendments and a bunch of other founding flaws in the Constitution, including probably that it’s so damn hard to amend

We’re stuck with the framework of a 250 year old slave state trying to maintain its hold on world power with a very fragile fading democracy shattered by the return of a feudal

Thank for starting that. The most damaging President in living memory (Trump was just a result)
