Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

"Carleton was a huge supporter of the LGBTQ+ community... People within the community described Carleton as 'kind' and almost like a 'second mom' to them"
This is fucking awful.

RWNJs spreading fear about carbon tax, while the Earth scorches.
If you think carbon tax is expensive, wait till you buy a new house after the last one burns up
investigating doesn’t restore anything. You know what would restore integrity? consequences.
get a forensic accountant to dive into the finances of every one of these ghouls. As well as Including dependents, spouses, business relationships at the slightest hint of suspicion that they have been used as cover up. Innumerate each and every piece of evidence of infraction from bylaw infraction to breach of trust to being anything less that scrupulous paying taxes. Each instance its own charge and the details put into the public record. Punitive damages far larger than the value of their thefts. And they all have restrictions on engaging with politics of business for the next 20 years. Heavy fines for the smallest repeat infractions.
I was just thinking of your post when I read this article, about Putin's infiltration of the FBI.
Craig Unger wrote this back in February, right after the arrest of Charles McGonigal, who used to be the head of counterintelligence for the FBI in New York. That's an extremely important position, one that would have allowed him to sabotage the FBI's attempts to protect our country in 2016.

In Spain we call the fascists 'fachas'.
Today Guillermo Fesser (journalist) gave a perfect explanation in a tweet (post?) of our concept of 'facha':
The fachas are called fachas for being classist with their compatriots, racist with immigrants, arrogant with foreigners, sexist with women, thieves with the public treasury, liars with the history of the Franco dictatorship and greedy with their employees.
Decades to prevent and minimize these trends have been lost. Think the right has learned its lesson? The GOP is still trying to pull us out of international climate agreements and destroy the EPA.
Every vote matters, if not to your life, then your children's and grandchildren's.
Anyone using Twitter to get info on #HurricaneHilary is bound to be misinformed right now. The hashtag is littered with fake videos and reports. There are also a ton of conspiracy theory and climate change denier posts. And of course these are all accompanied with the usual screaming and fighting you see on Twitter now. Toxic. Useless. Misleading.
Mastodon is far better than Twitter for knowing what is truly happening on the ground and why.
Thanks so much to everyone who's donated to Highland Wool's fundraiser.
Here is one of the pieces that they're raising funds to buy and restore. Isn't it beautiful?
Thiet target is £7000 to purchase, repair and transport this carder to the Highlands from south Scotland, along with a wool picker and assorted other pieces of equipment.
Awesome news! They broke through the £1000 mark this morning! Keep sharing and let's bring this beauty back into use!
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.
