Young, enterprising restaurant owners set up a sidewalk operation to serve hungry earthquake survivors, San Francisco, April 1906.

I crocheted when I was a kid. Mom did and knew it kept me occupied and out of trouble. Remember those afghans of squares? I made several. The every-color thread was cheap and that was my go-to. None survive. x
The GOP are the forefront of a *funded* fascist movement
The funding to end democracy is coming from the wealthiest people on the planet
Koch. Murdoch. Griffin. Uihlein. Schwarzman. Ellison. Thiel. Yass. Mercer. Musk. Putin. Deripaska. Prigozhin. Wynn. Adelson.
Bankman-Fried. Marcus. Harlan Crow. Barre Seid. Bradley. Hendricks. Fancelli. Lauder. Schwab. Buckley. DeVos. Tim Dunn. Farris Wilks. Mohammed bin Salman. Alwaleed bin Talal.
Thomas Peterffy. Kelcy Warren. Daniel DiLella.
It's undeniable. @elienyc is dead right. The TN legislature dislpalyed exactly every concept behind structural, institutionalized racism and defined in Critical Race Theory and put it on public on national TV. It's pure hate, white male grievance, and unmitigated power grabbing.
4 years ago, I deleted my Facebook account.
At first, I thought, “How can I do this? All the important people in my life won’t know what’s going on with me.”
That fear was unfounded.
As it turns out, all the important people still know what’s going on. You see, once they find out I’m not on Facebook, they get a hold of me through some other means. Typically, that means phone, email, or text message.
And a few have joined the Fediverse.
Foul language

Can you help identify a man who was found deceased in Lethbridge, Alberta on March 31 2023? - #Lethbridge #Alberta #missingperson #missingpeoplecanada #missingincanada
Lethbridge Police have been unable to identify a man found deceased and are releasing a composite sketch in the hopes of generating information that may lead to his identification and the notification...

2/ Via Victor Shi:
No matter happens, Justin Pearson is one of the most talented, powerful orators I’ve ever heard. Remember his name because I guarantee you this won’t be the last you see of him. There is a reason why Republicans want to expel him. He’s one of our party’s best.
Please, spare me any talk of "civility" in the future. It was redundant ten years ago, and it certainly is now. I don't debate my humanity, and fascism is not an opinion.
The fascist Tennessee Republican House Reps just EXPELLED Rep Justin Pearson, but they spelled his name Justin Jones, before it was corrected. That's a shocking tell. Reps Jones & Pearson are fierce justice & gun sense advocates.
Push to expel three Democratic Party lawmakers from the #Tennessee state House is "shocking, undemocratic and without precedent," says White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at top of daily briefing.

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.
