@danwentzel "Christians" have been harassing, bullying and killing those that are "other" since the Crusades started in 1095 A.D.
When you preach "love thy neighbor" but your actions are based on hate....I have zero tolerance for you and your so-called religion. And that goes for ALL religions.
I have been surrounded by gay, trans, and drag queens my whole adult life. Not once have I ever had to fear violence or harm from any of them, or had to have special training in case one came into my workplace. Meanwhile, I have been bullied and threatened by “Christians”, harassed by cops, and have to be trained out in case someone shows up at the office with an AR-15.
The criminal probe against George Santos just got real. The Department of Justice reportedly asked the Federal Election Commission to stop investigating Santos. This only happens when the DOJ has concluded that it has a serious criminal case on its hands that’s likely to result in criminal charges, and wants to nudge the FEC out of the way so they don’t trip over each other... https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/the-criminal-probe-against-george-santos-just-got-real/48742 via @palmerreport
The SFPD has released the full audio of their interview with Paul Pelosi attacker David DePape following his arrest. DePape's deranged rantings throughout the interview sound like a Donald Trump Truth Social post. This is the end result of MAGA extremism. https://youtu.be/cE5tyQI7RVM

While the GOP threatens cuts, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has new legislation to expand social security. “Our job is to create pressure around an agenda." #velshi

Pandemic Life
Everyone in my life knows I'm medically vulnerable & that I've been in solo isolation for almost 3 years.
They universally insist on telling me about the restaurants they go to, the conventions they attend, their international trips, the parties, the fun they have.
If you have vulnerable people in your life, please don't do this.
It's extraordinarily cruel.
History provides evidence that autocratic governments seek to influence or, in some cases, prohibit some citizens from obtaining an education. When Hitler came to power, he immediately made changes to the school curriculum, seeking to reduce resistance to fascist ideas. The German Student Union burned books deemed subversive or opposed to Nazi ideology. Undermining education was a critical step in securing an obedient citizenry.
Because of the rise of anti-science thinking and conspiracy theories I have been dreading a day when, if you want to tell a ghost story while camping you must first soberly explain that ghosts aren't real.
But ghosts ARE real. They are real while you are telling the story, that's the whole point to let them be real for a little bit and then... to let it go.
It's real in the way that myths are real. Are we too deep into the age of nonsense for wonder and fun to survive?

Boosts on here are what will make or break Mastodon. If people can find other interesting people and content, they will stay and the site will grow. If its too much of a chore, they won’t. Other sites reward lazier social media grazing, and they surface content designed to maximize engagement, which often = lies, hate, stuff that enrages rather than enlightens. Mastodon just surfaces what imembers boost.
