I'm familiar with the settings, and they are set to hide/label nothing. Nevertheless, much remains hidden - easy enough to see on the viewed post's comments, but on their replies one must notice that the reply number is not the zero shown. It's usually political speech, but sometimes just rude.

I suspected that nothing from that account will show up in any search, so I tried looking for something more specific: #AngieForAll

I've not seen that notation before. There's an option to search your own posts from your profile page:

We said 'Overton' at the same time - I almost never say it, and I've not seen it from you much, either 😎

Arguably, we could take '2' as instructions. Ben Franklin's proposed seal:

It's just one constellation of 7,800 satellites, each probably housing multiple interceptors, but maybe not.

Let me share my most awesome credential - I'm sure this will convince you I'm so, so very qualified - so you'll know to heed my wisdom:

If you understand why it is wrong to fat-shame Trump, then you should understand why it is wrong to "taxpayer" shame any Republican, even in response to that Republican "taxpayer" shaming his or her own opponents, as Marjorie Taylor Greene did to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Refute and reject the dishonest, harmful premise. Don't VALIDATE it.

When you fat shame Trump, you aren't hurting Trump at all. But people who struggle with weight issues will hear you, and it will affect them. Furthermore, people who don't struggle with weight issues will see that you are giving a green light for them to bully those who do, because you, the supposedly-morally-superior 'liberal' person, are saying that that is an acceptable criticism to make of another person.

The same exact thing is true for "taxpayer" and "the deficit."

And if you cannot argue for a progressive or liberal vision of society without invoking "taxpayer" identity, if you can't argue against Israeli bombing of Palestinian settlements without talking about how those are your "tax dollars" going to that destruction, and if you can't argue for universal healthcare for reasons other than "I pay taxes" and "it saves money," then that is a sign of a much, much, much deeper problem

This sort of planning is exactly the kind of positive vision for the future the Democrats ought to be promoting as an obvious counterpunch to the prevailing toddlerism. That they do not invites suspicion of complicity. Ya'll ought discuss, though ye cringe to do so, AltParty. Here be its mascot:

I might just be wrong. After much search I found this graph, which suggests my claim was only true for a brief period several years ago... back when I first learned it.

The least civil disobedience against the federal government that nearly everyone could participate in would be to not file taxes this year. Consider it step one of the National Strike. We need to organize a comprehensive list of demands - #PeoplesConvention - that prevent resurgence of tyranny.
