Probably just a coincidence that the same Republicans who think the world should let Russia just invade and take Ukraine are the same ones on video saying the U.S. should invade Canada, right?

The worst federal judge in America now has a name (Ruth Marcus/Washington Post)

Holy shit – the judge freezing use of abortion pills nation wide is citing the Comstock Act as a reason not to allow mailing mifepristone. The fucking Comstock Act. As if the Comstock Act wasn’t overturned by a Supreme Court decision nearly 60 years ago.

If we’re going to start enforcing the Comstock Act again, shit is going to get really weird guys. I mean really, really weird. The USPS is going to be opening your shit to go through it to make sure there is nothing “lewd or lascivious”, “immoral” or “indecent”. Just wait until you hear who gets to decide if your mail is immoral or not…

Fascists seek to control the dissemination of information and convert media organizations into propaganda platforms.

Musk, his Saudi financiers, and MorganStanley are gearing up for 2024 to be the last real American election.

All publicly funded news organizations are under attack in democracies.

VOA. NPR. PBS. CBC. BBC. ABC.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed that Poland has fulfilled its promise to provide tanks, including Leopards, to Ukraine. Additionally, there are new agreements for infantry fighting vehicles, with more than a hundred vehicles being provided. Ukraine will also receive 200 armored personnel carriers, with 100 being delivered now and the other 100 arriving later. Furthermore, self-propelled mortars, additional missiles, and MiGs will also be provided.

The Federal government pays for the shortfall in Tennessee’s taxes.

So, why are those of us who live in blue states paying taxes that are being used to prop up parts of the country like Tennessee that refuse to adhere to the Constitution?

This may *look* like... well, poop.

What’s wild is if the top 1% paid what they owe in taxes — not even more taxes, just stopped evading what they currently owe — federal revenue would increase by about $175 billion annually.

$175 billion. Every year. Imagine the good we could do.

According to Oryx OSINT, it has been visually confirmed that 10,000 vehicles have been lost since the invasion on February 24, 2022. Of these, 6,470 units were destroyed, 304 units were damaged, 392 units were abandoned, and 2,834 units were taken by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as trophies.

He’s just friends with a billionaire Nazi isn’t quite the great defense they thought it was after all.

Ok they did tell me why

Apparently this response to a tweet where a man said his wife wasn’t allowed to chop firewood cause it’s “a man’s job” was so egregious I am never allowed back on Twitter

If judges get to reverse FDA decisions then doctors should get to reverse judicial rulings

I’ll go first: I reverse the Dobbs ruling

Mastondon is a life raft scaling up to be a fleet.

Twitter is Cambridge Analytica, twitter is a manipulated platform that dumps far right tweets onto your timeline when it wants, and hides tweets silently.

Twitter is using familiarity like facebook did to funnel people to the far right. Or depress readers into inaction.

More than 30 children were reunited with their families in #Ukraine this week after a long operation to bring them back from Russia, where they had been taken from occupied areas during the war, a humanitarian group said on Saturday.

Ukrainian children deported by Russia could also be found in Belarus, ex-ombudsman suggests https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-society/3693350-ukrainian-children-deported-by-russia-could-also-be-found-in-belarus-exombudsman-suggests.html

@gwynnion I have MORE followers here than on Twitter, despite the facts that I’ve only been active here for six months and that over there I have one of the oldest accounts (number 10,321).

And my engagement here was 10X what it was there, even when I had a quarter of the followers I did there.

The algorithm, I’m now quite sure, not only did me no favors but for whatever reason worked against me for years.
