First vaccine shot scheduled through #All4Oregon. They emailed me ten days after I became eligible. Selecting an appointment was easy. Nice job.

We need affordable housing, education, and health care. A minimum wage of $15/hour will help those who need these the most. Once the minimum wage is raised we need continue to work on getting housing, education and health care more affordable by making them less expensive.

Big sigh of relief with the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris. We lost time addressing so many issues that we can ill afford and that is costing far too many people their lives and many, many others their livelihood.

Yes. The insurance cost should also be higher as they cause more damage to whatever or whomever they hit.
Tax vehicles by size and weight. Make drivers internalize their social costs.
The USA has linked healthcare to employment for far too long. It's time to separate healthcare from employment. If that implies medicare for all, then so be it.

Corporations ability to pour money into politics gives the leaders of those companies far more power than the normal citizens and far more than they should have.

@twitter, When viewing people I follow, I would love it if I could see on which of my lists these people belong.
Just paired @VanillaJS with @zeptojs and @rails data-method just worked. Nice. Thanks all!

Replaced jquery with @zeptojs in my @rails app today. Worked like a charm. Zepto notified me where I violated the standard for IDs. Once I fixed that and everything just worked. Nice.
This is a fabulous idea.

This is so true. And here in the Portland, Or area it seems to be getting worse.

Thank you for speaking out.

Since compromising a SCIF is a security violation, perhaps they should lose their security clearances.
Republicans physically raided a secure room to intimidate a witness. They knowingly compromised a SCIF to obstruct justice. It was dangerous and cannot be normalized. @GOPLeader: Show some leadership. Never let this happen again.
Argh! My google #pixel3 looses it pairing with my #fitbit charge 3 daily. It's a pain in the butt to get it re-paired.

Hey @twitter why is my timeline not a linear timeline? Why keep dredging stuff up from 7 hours ago that I've already seen?
I love that @IlhanMN, @AOC , @ayannapressley, @RashidaTlaib speak out publicly about the issues they see. These four have given me hope for our country in ways that too many of our current leaders have not. Keep it up!
True patriotism is not about blindly supporting a single Administration. True patriotism is about fighting for our country and its dignity. True patriotism means making sure people of our country and our Constitution are uplifted and protected.

I would love to have infrastructure like this. A lot less conflict with cars. We need to make things safe for folks 8 to 80.
How many more people would cycle if your city’s streets were this inviting? How many would leave their cars at home if their choice was made this easy? Don't design streets that make the 5% already biking marginally safer. Build them to entice the other 95% back on their bikes.
Totally agree with this..

120% ok with ending all sanctioned college sports. If the NFL and the NBA want a farm league, let them pay for it. If kids want to play soccer or lacrosse or tiddlywinks, they can organize it themselves.

Argh. I'm white, I've been pulled over. I've never felt what @kamubobb felt during this traffic stop. It doesn't need to be this way. How do we change this?
