“I also have a home in Ukraine, as I have friends there, and music that I love. So, on the 24th of Feb 2022, Russia brutally invaded my home too.”

Will you #ShareYourLight too?

Florida Republicans set to prevent local governments from setting minimum wage requirements higher aka "living wage ordinaces" than the state which is currently $11.
Living wage ordinances can vary in what they impose or include, they're generally enacted to help retain and recruit workers to the local government sector by offering a base pay for their lowest-paid workers that keeps up with the cost of living.
REPUBLICAN ATTACK!
GOP plan to gut the middle class in exchange for raising the debt limit a non-starter for Biden!
“That’s the MAGA economic agenda: spending cuts for working and middle class folks,” Biden said of the plan on Wednesday. “It’s not about fiscal discipline, it’s about cutting benefits for folks that they don’t seem to care much about.”

@atomic @dr2chase You assume I'm speaking to the unmasked, which may seem obvious but is wrong. The unmasked aren't following me or tracking mask hashtags. Instead, I hope to reinforce and support the people who ARE being careful, because it's hard to keep safe behaviors when everyone else around you will not. Over time, as the real, long-term risks of COVID become better known, I still think we'll see more ongoing masking, but for now, I just want to support those being careful.
Young girls are not women and a child’s body is not “designed to carry life.” In fact, children who go through with #pregnancy have a higher rate of death and complications. But these anti-#abortion activists don’t actually care about children’s welfare.

So, I think it's bullshit that Elon has it in for Wired's Dell Cameron, especially since as "leftists" go this person is pretty milquetoast and harmless to the machine.
But also? You know how you could have avoided having one of your journalists permanently suspended based on the whims of a fascist running a nazi website? Not having your journalists post on a nazi website.
That is all.
When genocide becomes legalized like it now has been in Florida, you cannot ever defeat it through legal or peaceful means. Florida has declared their intent to genocide transgender people and have legally begun the process.
We will not comply with your Holocaust. We need all-out warfare against Florida's fascist government. They must be stopped by any means necessary. Any and every tactic that can save people from a new Holocaust is on the table. Do what must be done.
We need a militant uprising because the law of this country exists to uphold supremacy, not deconstruct it.
Work outside of traditional means. Do whatever you can. We cannot let this go unanswered. Retaliation is morally incumbent on anyone who takes seriously the phrase "never again."
Hi!

The illegitimate Supreme Court temporarily extends access to the abortion drug mifepristone

You know what’s coming. A 5-4 decision to take away more of our rights based on Christian ideology and nothing else
Griswold v. Connecticut? Obergefell v. Hodges? You’re next.

Sunset on Gold Hill. True to its name, the top of the mountain turns gold in the right conditions.
We had about 2" of snow but it stayed warm, in the 40's. The snow stopped before sunset enough to see it trail up the mountain. As the sun faded to shadow, it cooled the land down quickly enough to create a cloud boundary that followed it up to the peak.
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.
