Dear Visitor,

We have suspended our use of Twitter account due to the prevailing conditions on the platform wherein bellicose anti-democratic and racist organizations and individuals that spread hate, misinformation and political violence are given free unfettered reign.  We will return to the platform when sensible community standards that embrace peace-seeking tolerance for others is adopted.  We are not holding our breath. . .
