With the news that #musk is threatening to remove inactive accounts after just 30 days, I hopped over to #twitter out of curiosity.
Wow what a cesspoll it has become. The algorithm-driven "For You" feed is like 30-50% #altright bullshit.
And algorithm that feeds me altright bullshit isn't doing it for views or clicks. There's no doubt another goal involved.
On one hand, amazing that any sort of gun control bill has made it out of committee in Texas state legislature. On the other hand, amazing that this very minor step still is very unlikely to become law. One notable detail: two Republicans on the committee actually voted to advance the bill to the floor. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/08/texas-gun-bill-uvalde-allen-mall-shooting/ #GunControl #GunViolence #Texas
A long investigation verified that Texas Rep Bryan Slaton invited a 19 yr old staffer to his apartment, got her drunk on rum & coke and raped her.
Yet only 36 out of 62 members of the State Republican Executive Committee considered his actions “wrong and unacceptable" and called for his resignation.
I wonder what the the other 26 members thought of his actions.

Does everyone want me to just post the daily owl updates here?
We can all cheer on these little guys as they grow! 😄
MAGA Rep Bryan Slaton—who introduced a bill mandating death for women seeking abortion because his Biblical morals apparently command it—has resigned after investigators found he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a teen staffer after getting her drunk.😑
This is the GOP. Every accusation is a confession.
The #Allen, #Texas murderer had a swastika tattoo on his chest, an SS tattoo on his arm, and a "right wing death squad" patch on his tactical vest.
But "police are still searching for a possible motive..."

Feminist groups in Mexico aid US abortion seekers.
I knew that once Ro V. Wade was overturned, people in red states would start to look for help from blue states in obtaining an abortion. I never imagined some would feel so scared to seek abortion assistance in the US that they would resort to seeking care from Mexico.
“A year ago, there was a lot of fear in the U.S., but now we know there are many abortion networks in the U.S. and that they have been multiplying,” said Cruz. However, pregnant people from the U.S. continue to reach out to Mexican networks because some still face challenges accessing abortion care. The reasons include people’s immigration status, risk of legal prosecution when crossing states with different abortion regulations, misinformation regarding self-managed abortions, and financial situations that make it difficult to pay medical bills, abortion networks told Rest of World.
Those reaching out from the U.S. seek the aid that is accessible to Mexicans getting an abortion, such as basic medical information, medical abortion pills, and psychological and emotional support. They are also interested in guidance on where along the U.S.-Mexico border they might be able to obtain affordable care. “Some of these women face paying over $1,500 for an abortion in states like California or New York, where abortions are still legal,” said Castro Flores. “We provide an option for free by supplying the medication and proper, scientific-based companionship.”

Imagine if restaurants had signs that said “You may not ask your server to not spit on your food.” We need to normalize masking in healthcare. No one has a “right” to be a disease vector.

That toot is a false flag!

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.
