Just voted. As always; quick, easy, pleasant. Teared up a little on the way out of the polling station. I am achingly fortunate to be a citizen of this country. If you're Canadian, please vote. Please thank your poll workers. That is all

Great example. As is acid rain. We used to be capable of this. Don't believe those who tell you nothing can be done.

I am begging progressives (of which I consider myself one) to learn to prioritize problems. Right now problem #1, #2 and #3 are surviving the Trump presidency with our sovereignty intact. If that means an issue you care about gets deprioritized that's unfortunately the situation we're in now.

That's 9 tweets an hour (plus replies). This dude is allegedly running the world's 7th biggest company (by market cap) as well as like 6 other companies and completely overhauling the federal entire government. And high as a fucking kite the whole time.
