T"his change [i.e, majority of GOP senators ovverruling McConnell] shows how drastically the GOP has changed on what was once a pillar of its foreign policy platform (i.e., funding pro-Western governments fighting back against Russian aggression). Now, the primary opposition to financially backing Ukraine in the United States is coming solely from the GOP—and this movement has enough support to overrule the Republican leadership."

Context:
Republicans are pushing anti-trans, anti-gay nonsense hard, just as the opinion of the American people are changing rapidly on this topic.

Republicans are pushing their War on Women just as the public is getting mad about Roe v Wade.

The clueless American public is finally starting to notice that Trump has 91 felony charges in 4 cases, and 2 of those involve his attempts to steal the election.

We are at the crux of multiple tipping points.

5 years ago today, journalist Jamal #Khashoggi walked into the #Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Saudi agents murdered him there and hacked his body to pieces.

In 2021, US intelligence concluded Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself had approved the operation.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S BETRAYAL OF UKRAINE SHOULD SHOW THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT AMERICA WILL NOT BE "TRUSTED" AND THAT NATO IS NEXT!. WELCOME TO RUSSIA'S NORTH AMERICAN SATELLITE RULED BY THE WORST MONSTERS RUSSIA COULD ASSEMBLE!. OH! THEY ARE ALREADY ORGANIZED INTO A POLITICAL PARTY!

THE GOP!

Worth it just to watch Don Jr whine and cry about being held accountable for his family's corruption.

Dear Republicans,
If you don't want your property taken and your corporations dissolved, then don't defraud so many banks, governments, corporations, and people. To put it in Republican terms, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

"If we tax the rich they will just leave."

So?
Let them leave.
Pretty much anywhere they go they'll need to pay taxes.
They can't take the land, houses, resources, or infrastructure they're hoarding.
They're not doing us a favour, Trickle down is a lie.
If they're only staying as long as they can avoid contributing their fair share, why would we want them here anyway?

Either they contribute to the society that benefits them or they leave and free up their stash.

Bye bye. We can do better.

I was just thinking that I would love another season of Planet Earth. Well season 3 is coming. Scored by Hans Zimmer and narrated by David Attenborough.

At this point, anyone posting any content on #X* is *collaborating* with the most powerful #fascist globally, #Elmo.
There will be no "I didn’t know."
If you still don't. Put in the work. It's not privileged information.

Despite having fewer followers and similar content, I have far more interactions, more qualitative relationships with contacts, and more engagements.
If you put in the work and try to make new friends, there is no "shouting into the void."

"On Wednesday, huge crowds gathered after anti-trans organizers called for a “million man march” against #transgender rights. Yet, it wasn't the opponents of #trans rights who predominantly showed up. Instead, crowds of supporters for transgender rights and teachers #unions backing them flooded streets in cities such as #Toronto, #Vancouver, and #Ottawa. Pride flags were raised in front of city buildings, and even #Canada's Prime Minister, Justin #Trudeau, lent his voice in support. What was envisioned as a day to spotlight the “widespread opposition” to #LGBTQia+ youth instead blossomed into a remarkable display of backing and #unity for trans individuals across Canada."

The level of enshittification of the Internet from LLMs is truly spectacular.

Search for anything (in my case my ice maker doesn’t produce ice correctly) is now an exercise in futility.

Wonder if we can ever dig ourselves out of this level of shit.

Thanks, tech bros. Really super awesome stuff.

I'm sorry, #Ukraine. Please be aware we are not all a bunch of FUCKING CUNTS here in the #USA

Glory to Ukraine!

In the last few years, Canada's #Conservative party has been connected with right wing extremists, a nazi German politician, Mike Roman & the Jan. 6th USA coup attempt, an occupation of our capital city, and the so-called "Freedom Convoy" which sought to overthrow our government ... media silence. ​Red flag. 💥​

The demonstration planned for Sept 20th in #Canada is NOT about parental rights. It is an attack on #TransRights. See what’s happened in the USA. Call out “both sides” #cdnmedia coverage and boards of #education that won’t stand up to hate.
