A strong next generation is precisely what Republicans don't want to see in the young
They want murderously insane child soldiers like Kyle Rittenhouse, not inspirational & smart children like Amanda Gorman
They want a next generation as simply consumers, not citizens
They want underpaid serf labor hopelessly mired in apathy & despair
They want addicts, to violence, to rage
They want the next generation saddled with debt; student loans & mortgages
They want a Nazi do-over
@jortsthecat We got a tiny Jean yesterday. Its name is Blossom. It came from a kitten foster lady. It is 2 1/2 pounds of tortie. I think it will grow up to be a union organizer. #cats
My little Miso is the sweetest thing I could find in an Easter basket.
He bites watch straps of any variety. It is odd but slightly endearing. He also enjoys his face extremely close to yours. #Atlas #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #catsodon
4 years ago today, I created my first #Mastodon account and I couldn’t be happier about that decision 🥰
I’m so glad this platform exists!
"It is a fact that the administration of justice in the United States is deeply flawed. It overwhelmingly favors the well to-do at the expense of the have-nots. No serious person could deny that. It indisputably disproportionately punishes people of color, especially Black people."

Amazon's CEO made $212.7 million in compensation in 2021 while the typical worker received $32,855.
That's a ratio of 6,474 to 1.
Now we learn that the company spent $14 million on anti-union consultants...
Don't tell me that Amazon can't afford to let workers join a union.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi."
Historians study their motives, but there is a broad understanding: their motives don’t exonerate them.
This is exactly right. Because once again, the GOP has it exactly backwards. Holding the president accountable is democracy working as it should. Attacking prosecutors is politicizing the law. Well done, @theplumlinegs.

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.
