🕯️This woman and her daughter were killed by a Russian missile in #Dnipro.
The photo was published by the murdered woman's sister.
“This morning a Russian rocket killed my cousin and my 2-year-old great-niec. Rest in peace my little angels, I love you very much,” - she wrote.

An instance like mastodon.cloud can say that they don't tolerate N*zis in their "server rules."
But the reality is, a Black user on that server can receive racist death threats complete with snuff images and video of Black folks and women being killed. Flagging for moderation did nothing. The Black person leaving that instance and warning other Black users to choose a better 1st server, gets the Black user blocked.🤡
This woman is a monster. A freak. A sick sociopath. A Republican. https://twitter.com/highbrow_nobrow/status/1651653906693234701?s=20
@futurebird @bok_bok_ba_gok I mean, the life of a drone ant seems like one hell of an amazing plot for a movie.
Because this is social media, I am being chided for being "glib" about this vital constitutional office.
Given MAGAs mockingly label Any diversity & representation as “WOKE,” the “Go Woke Go Broke” slogan is especially stupid because:
•Gender diverse executive teams outperform their peers by more than 20% (McKinsey & Co)
•Ethnically diverse executive teams are 33% more likely to lead their industry in profitability (Harvard Biz Review)
•Women, immigrants, & BIPOC run 4 of Top 10 Silicon Valley firms (Forbes)
Literally, objectively, & quantitatively—the best way to NOT “go broke,” is to stay woke.
The real competition isn’t “Mastodon vs. Bluesky”.
It’s “ActivityPub protocol vs AT protocol”.
One is used by nearly 25,000 servers. The other is used by one server.
On a per node basis, which one do you think is winning?
Carolyn Bryant, the woman who got Emmet Till lynched, has died.
Anyone who thinks Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—and that without any accountability whatsoever.
In short, this systemic racism and racial terror against Black people is not ancient history. It's not even history.
It's contemporary reality.
It never ends. Now DeSantis is after the Leon Co. (Tallahassee) school super. b/c Moms 4 Liberty asked. They’re the ones behind Don’t Say Gay. Read this for a stunning list of fired Florida officials.
“DeSantis has become infamous for targeting any official who speaks out against him—denouncing “cancel culture” while canceling any voice in Florida that opposes him”

Some sad news out of Ukraine:
Italian reporter injured, Ukrainian reporting partner killed due to apparent Russian ambush/sniper attack.
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.
