Absolutely losing my sh*t over this. Too many people are spreading misinformation with their full chests. People who actually understand this are saying we need to wait and see. There's no reason to panic right now, and your DNA isn't additionally "at-risk." #23andme

What aspect of #genealogy makes you the craziest, but in a good way. For me I think it's #endogamy. And not #DNA but when you are working the paper trails and you find that oh this person married some close relationship (blood or not)

Every. Damn. Day. People insist their names were “changed at Ellis Island” and then come at me with “are you calling my grandma a liar”. I don’t know your grandma. But I do know the facts- and that’s that NO ONE’S NAME WAS CHANGED AT ELLIS ISLAND #genealogist

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump’s presidency has been a disaster so far
:x: 42,000+ lost jobs
:x: Billions in American clean energy funds frozen
:x: Highest electricity bills since the 1990s
:x: Critical agencies like NOAA and Forest Service gutted
