@georgetakei they can’t control her.

Today in Labor History January 11, 1937: Police tried to raid the Fisher Body plant during the Flint Sit-Down Strike against General Motors. Workers threw hinges, bottles and bolts at the cops, effectively holding them off. However, the cops injured 14 strikers with gunfire. They had been occupying the plant for nearly two weeks. And they would continue their sit-down strike until February 11. They won a 5% raise and the UAW signed up 100,000 members in the wake of the strike.

Opposing Donald Trump is the easiest moral choice ever presented to humanity.

Millions of Americans failed this test miserably because the moment he descended that golden escalator in 2016 and fully revealed his bigotry, cruelty, ignorance and contempt for this country to the world they found their new messiah and there is literally nothing he can do now to make them stop worshipping him.

“He’s like me” they say. I believe them.

The literal definition of moral bankruptcy. #politics #trump

Christianity Today Editor: Evangelicals Call Jesus “Liberal” and “Weak”
A former evangelical leader is sounding the alarm about the direction his religion is headed in.
IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY BOOTED JESUS! YOU CAN'T BE AS CRUEL, BIGOTED AND AS INTOLERANT WITH THIS GUY AS YOUR FIGUREHEAD! TRUMP WAS THE PERFECT REPLACEMENT!

Today, on January 11th, we have to remember who died #OTD in 2013: Aaron Swartz :AaronSwartz:

You may know him from his contribution to or creation of:

• Markdown
• The Creative Commons License
• RSS
• Reddit

We must never forget him and his contributions to our world forever - especially due to circumstances of injustice and the cause he became a martyr for.

Today I will be posting thoughts about Aaron Swartz, who died on this day in 2013. The academic community should be much more aware of him, and challenge the massive problem of academic publishing that we are all part of. Let's make it our mission to tell people about Aaron and what he stood for.

What has more than a year on Mastodon taught me?

There are still many good, intelligent, funny and compassionate people who use social media.

CONFESSION BOY

Trump has pretty much confessed every crime he has ever committed. All of it live on TV, not under any duress, all of it voluntary statements. All totally valid to play as testimony against him in the criminal trials coming

Here's next confession. Trump confesses took foreign bribes

What #Ukraine does for US & EU.

https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/26357

It shows the world that there are people who care about democracy enough to take risks for it.

It reduces the risk of nuclear proliferation and nuclear war by showing that nuclear blackmail does not work.

It maintains the international legal order.

It fulfills the NATO mission by absorbing and reversing a Russian attack, making war elsewhere in Europe very unlikely.

It deters China from risky action in the Pacific.

@courtcan and maybe she looks great and cute ❤️

I debated posting this pic. I decided not to. I decided to. I opened up my photo editing app to make my hips look slimmer, my stomach less plump, and my forehead less wrinkled. I got disgusted with myself, closed the photo editor, and decided not to post the pic.

Then, I thought, "Fuck it."

So here we are. The pic that has only been edited to darken the corners of the image and brighten the whites of my eyes. Shape-wise and size-wise, this is me.

I am disgusted with the reporting in an MSNBC video saying that Judge Engoron had decided to not let Trump present in the closing arguments of the NY fraud case.

What really happened: Engoron said he'd allow Trump to speak if he agreed to follow the rules of the court (can't introduce new evidence in closing, etc.) to preserve the decorum of the court. Trump's team failed to respond to accept the terms on three separate deadlines.

That's substantially different from the MSNBC reporting.
