          DSA would probably be a faster-growing political affiliation than “Independent” if it were measured in the same way

      So, since the topic is infrastructure, I’d like to point out that the bipartisan bill is extremely watered down, and that all the good stuff is in the reconciliation bill that’s going to pass with only Democratic support

                                          people being so purposeful with their social media is so weird to me; I just use mine as a mind-dump space so thoughts don’t die unexpressed in my head

                                            yeah IMO verification doesn’t really make as much sense for NH state legislature members as it does in other states; there are too many of us and lots of us just aren’t notable. I don’t want to be verified because then people would expect me to act all serious and official.

                                                            Despite being about a post made on their platform, it doesn’t look like Snapchat bothered to file a brief of amicus curiae on the case, though: scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/mahanoy-area-school-district-v-b-l/

                                                              Snap guy wants online voting; that is a very bad idea. Online registration? Sure, that’s fine, but having the actual voting online would just lead to it getting majorly hacked.
