🕯️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.

@lewriley @dave @Bam @thetitanborn
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.🤡

Tucker or no Tucker: As long as there’s money to be made by selling lies, weaponizing Trump's viciousness, and peddling conspiracies, Fox News will continue to do it. Profiting off of lies has become a big business in America. It’s one of the core challenges to our democracy.

@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.

One late afternoon, somewhere on Skye, I went for a walk in the pouring rain and stumbled on this scene. I felt like I'd interrupted a modern re-enactment of an old fable. But I haven't yet worked out which one.

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”
