I need someone to explain to me why it’s legal for armed, masked men to threaten people who want to vote, but illegal for people to give voters water to drink. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Two weeks ago, Saudi Arabia sentenced a 72 year old American citizen to 16 years in jail for tweets critical of the regime he sent while in America. This week, the Saudis partnered with Elon Musk to buy Twitter. Do you think the Saudis bought it to promote free speech?

You’d be able to document it about 3,148,791 times this morning in NYC: this monster car pulls thru a red just as our signal goes green and then parent has to wait thru light signal because it’s kinda scary to have to squeeze thru x-walk. Part of the culture we’ve created. – at Queens, NY

-- Every time I see a sign in my town that says “drive like your kids live here,” I want to change it to “design like your kids live here.” A more family-friendly CT should begin with safer streets ctmirror.org/2022/10/18/ct-c…

Great Horned Owls have no chill to give.
A screenshot of a Facebook post with two photos: one of a great horned owl perched while holding a stick horse, and a photo of the same owl flying in the air with the stick horse.
