It took me just over 60 days of posting random nonsense on Mastodon, but I FINALLY exceeded my Twitter follower count!

So glad that #Norway plans on long term support of #Ukraine.

Just to give this some perspective.

#Ukraine GDP 2021 was USD 200 Billion
#Norwegian reserves is at USD1.2 Trillion.

So while NO ONE should expect Norway to fund the entire cost of rebuilding Ukraine, when Norway says it will invest in Ukraine, it's a HUGE deal.

Infuriatingly, Governors are allowed to be dictators in our country, so Republican-run states are banning books and allowing guns everywhere.

DeSantis is even firing people in the schools, and replacing them with his loyalists, to transform all levels of education into right-wing indoctrination.

It appears the Republicans’ plan is to plant their racist, gun-toting, non-tolerant agenda into young minds, in order to create more Republicans.

Nobody is stopping them.

#Santos' old treasurer has resigned. He does not have a treasurer, meaning he can't raise or spend money. He also has to file a campaign finance report ... today.

You are sounding the alarm, which is vital as Florida falls further under Dictator D’s fascist regime. We cannot allow his influence to spread.

Police in #Texas raided the home of a mother and her kids at 2am by shooting pellets through their window to look for a suspect who was neither at the house nor guilty of the crime they accused him of.

Galveston #Police Chief Doug Balli has been placed on leave for 10 days.

This is a nice, clear look at the "school district bans Elie Wiesel quote" story. Spoiler: the school district does not come out looking good at all.

If this child was strong enough to survive colonization, land theft and reservation internment — then white kids should be strong enough to learn about it in school. #nativeamerican #NativeNations

I know I am a broken record but I feel the need to make sure everyone is aware of these laws and the dangers they pose.

I have gifted this article about FL teachers removing books from their classrooms. “Breaking the law is a third-degree felony, meaning that a teacher could face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for displaying or giving students a disallowed book.”

If you are still using Twitter, do not -- DO NOT -- use direct messages for anything you consider sensitive in any way. This goes triple for the journalists who insist on pouring their work into a site whose sociopath CEO has utter contempt for the press.

America's cruel system of "defunding the sick" sends 500,000 to 2 million families to medical bankruptcy, Every Single Year.

Every. Single. Year.

Number of families bankrupted by medical bills in
Canada: 0
France: 0
Britain: 0

Think of the economic cost to the country of half a million gut punches, half a million "Im not paying my bills" ~ half a million families ruined.

James O'Brien's analogy for the 'heartbreaking' fallout of Brexit:

'We're like a country that has blown off its own feet and is now squabbling over crutches - instead of acknowledging that blowing our feet off was a bloody stupid thing to do!'

Congratulations to Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken, who will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor for their SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the space station in 2020! Watch the ceremony live at 4:15pm ET on NASA TV. 🏅
