CPAC literally called for a pogrom against trans people as its central unifying theme.
There's no daylight left anymore with these fucks.
There's no more room for collaboration. They aren't interested in collaboration.
They are interested in A) seizing power B) keeping that power C) creating a fascist utopia where they never lose elections and every "enemy" is dead, in hiding, or in prison.

I love #librarians
After the Patriot Act was passed, it was #librarians who stood up to government intrusion.
They are at it again - this time protecting the right to read. I have made this article available for all to read.

So, this is fun. We are their worst nightmare. Turn's out Mastodon "falls short for businesses" because it lacks "advertising support," says an ad industry publication.
CMSWire: Facebook Is Better for Business Than Mastodon. Here's Why >>> https://www.cmswire.com/digital-marketing/facebook-is-better-for-business-than-mastodon-heres-why/
"Social media has become one of the most powerful tools businesses can leverage for advertising... Mastodon, on the other hand, does not offer an advertising platform to businesses."

I have been writing about Fox and what makes it different for 20 years. http://archive.pressthink.org/2003/10/21/oreilly_voice.html
Two days ago, Josh Marshall wrote about Fox the best short form description and analysis I have ever read.
Marshall has a history PhD. As he says, "it’s worth stepping way, way back, not just to the beginning of Fox News in 1996 but to the beginning of the broader countermovement it
was a part of..."
No essay I know of puts it all together like his.

Now this is a move in the right direction:
'Justice Department Sues Chemical Giants Over “Cancer Alley” Pollution
'Denka and DuPont operated a plant that emits chloroprene, a likely human carcinogen.'
This tweet comes unironically from the GOP, which loves giant defense budgets, wants to regulate women's bodies, wishes to tell schools what they can teach, desires a 1900-mile-long border wall, wants to increase the size of police forces, thinks the government should prevent drag story hours, is trying to track young women's periods, thinks social media companies need more regulation, is banning books from libraries, and is trying to tell doctors what prescriptions they can & can't write.
@toomas_ilves Hale Bopp cult comes to mind.

The Story of an orphaned boy who becomes radicalized after a military strike kills his family.
He is indoctrined into an ancient religion,
Joins a band of rebel insurgents,
And carries out a terrorist attack on a government installation that kills 300,000 people."

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
