CNN's Jessica Dean sits with SE Cupp to discuss why a number of congressional Republicans have rallied to Trump's defense and are outraged over his indictment.
👉 She makes a really good point: look at all the things they makes them NOT outraged. Then it will become clear you don't have to take them seriously. 😂

@scottjshapiro These two men are the underbelly of humanity. I detest them both.

The pregnancy loss rate among those who became pregnant in the trial for the Pfizer COVID vaccine was no higher than normal.
But rumours have been circulating that it was not. I spoke to @lydmorrish from @ReutersFacts…

Another lunch #Today with a friend who's a former coworker. She's a little more buttoned up. I'd better not mention my harlotry.

There is no algorithm here that will detect which toots are popular. It is up to you to reblog toots to increase their visibility.
My learned reliance on social media algorithms has been the most difficult bias to overcome.
Boost freely. YOU ARE THE ALGORITHM.

We think the story of the week HAS to be: @TexasObserver saving itself. #WeGotUs! International coverage: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/29/texas-observer-closing-gofundme
See how the effort to put the TO on a new footing is going: https://www.gofundme.com/f/laid-off-texas-observer-journalists-and-staff
Just goes to show: the future of journalism is about news organizations directly supported by the people they serve. 🙌
Congrats to the @TexasObserver !
Last day of #WomensHistoryMonth. Let's celebrate the women who changed the world.
From Marie Curie to Malala Yousafzai, the 60 women Nobel Prize laureates have broken barriers and inspired generations. Their legacies continue to shape our world today.
@pivoinebleue @Doreen32128 yes. People want to believe Lindsey is being blackmailed but it’s more likely that he becomes whatever he needs to be to glom on to power. Pathetic man
No, #Trump won’t be afforded ‘the same legal protections as any other defendant.’ He has a sprawling propaganda network, a major political party and the threat of violence backing him, can afford endless litigation and appointed a bunch or RW activists to the federal bench. He’ll enjoy more legal protections than 100% of defendants.

Do you ever think about who is watching? We think that surveilance-based advertisement needs to end! #BanSpying!
Start the weekend off with a funny video about a serious topic!

"Donald Trump was a known criminal long before nearly 63 million Americans voted for him to control the levers of power. As much as he is responsible for his criminal exploitation of that power, we must understand and fix the sickness in the body politic that enabled him to take office."

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.
