@StuartDNeilson In the US, 3 of the last 4 GOP presidents PROUDLY cut taxes in a way that benefits the ultra rich. The benfits continue to grow.

One of the very first #Covid lies the public was told was "children don’t transmit"
Parents have known the truth all along...
"One pre-symptomatic child goes to #school and then Taekwondo [or hockey, dance, choir, art, camp, birthday party, sleepover, swim lesson, grandparents]

I'm shocked and not shocked, but from what I can tell, Twitter has quietly killed its Communities product.

Here is an intermediate-level #feditips for those of you who have found The Content, but now have Too Much Content:
Many apps (including the Mastodon web app) let you turn off all boosts in your timeline. On the Mastodon web app you click the "settings" button at the top of the Home timeline and deselect "Show boosts". Then you will only see content posted by people you follow, no boosted stuff.
I like how the timeline feels following 1000+ accounts I picked, but not seeing any boosts.
