Once the Democratic Party concedes "givebacks" to the GOP, surrendering benefits previously agreed to, we will face neverending GOP demands to give up more and more, until all progress and human rights we've earned are reversed. I say, we should never negotiate under the gun, regardless of the threatened consequences. Either we stand for something or we stand for nothing. #debtceilingshowdown

I think that we should use what little influence we have on social media to make it clear to the Americans that care about our #ClimateCrisis that the GOP's efforts to cause a global economic crisis are mostly caused by their desire to disrupt #ClimateAction since our media is mostly ignoring it.
Glad to see @Chrishayes gave it some time, but Friday night news segments and a few nonviral headlines don't really do all that much.
Anyways, just posting more on it & I know you do too.
It seems Mastodon is now "serious enough" that people want to advertise here. Well... glad you won't.

I just learned that in Spanish-speaking countries in South America, their version of “righty tighty, lefty loosy” is “la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera”, which literally translates to “the right oppresses and the left liberates”.
That, my friends, is the most dead-on mnemonic that has ever been thought up.

I did make it. I spent my whole morning working on my turtle enclosure
A convertible ride sounds fun, I wonder if my buddy will loan me his Mustang for the day. 🤔
Welp ...after weathering the storm for just over half a year, it appears I am now, also, laid off from my job. Looking for a new role, preferably remote and preferably in #accessibility although the right #backEnd #developer job might be to my liking as well :) #layoffs #ttech #jobs
Here, a cold shoulder from the boss lady of #CatsOfMastodon on #caturday ... in case you still haven't listened to any of #TheGlobalJigsaw - trust me it is better to be in her good books, so use your chance:

When a #gay boy was savagely beaten in Ireland this week, his family released video of the attack to pressure authorities to act, and to spark discourse about the consequences of rising anti-#LGBTQ rhetoric.
Then the video was suppressed out of "respect." Why? Would true respect not mean honoring the family and having the courage to look squarely at the pain of a child at the epicenter of the an anti-#queer backlash?
Lots of people ask for actions to take to help elect progressive candidates.
Here’s another one of my favorites- Movement Labs. They work with progressive candidates around the country and also help Democrats run in places where they traditionally haven’t.
Their next project is going to be in North Carolina- a state that needs some help. Get involved or save this for when you can. Their work is effective for progressive change.

I received a new motherboard and processor today. So, I started assembling a new PC. Of course, I still need RAM, a fan, harddrive(s), and a video card. No hurry 🙂
In a functioning Democracy, Clarence Thomas would have already been forced to resign from the bench.
The @NASAArtemis II astronauts visit Washington, @BlueOrigin is selected to develop the landing system that will take astronauts to and from the surface of the Moon on #Artemis V, and @NASARoman takes shape.

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.
