Exactly! 🤬

Only in Republican world can a man assault a reporter, get convicted, and go on to be governor yet a woman named Zooey Zephyr can be a threat to a roomful of men just by talking and end up thrown out of the legislature.

So tired of these people with mouths full of scripture but hearts full of hate.

They could have had Beto O'Rourke as Governor.

So, wait… Trump’s tax cuts DIDN’T pay for themselves? They just let the ultra-rich finance their wealth on the backs of working people? And now those same supporters want to cut social security, Medicare, and the social safety net?!

Ya don’t say.

It's telling that this was nowhere near front page news.

"Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked a measure that would have allowed the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to be added to the Constitution.

Senators voted 51 to 47 to invoke cloture on a motion to proceed, falling short of the 60 votes needed.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) were the lone Republicans to vote with every Democrat. “

Same. I block anyone who's toxic to me.

@chema The problem isn’t under moderation, it’s server admins policing Black people’s lived experiences with content warnings. And sometimes, they’re told to leave.

The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:

➡️ https://fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.

➡️ https://fediverse.info/explore/people - An opt-in directory of people on the Fediverse sorted by keyword. You can add yourself to the directory by including special hashtags in your profile.

If you've used them before, take another look as they've both just been revamped.

I visited a #FoodBank yesterday (as part of a Report for Work, not thankfully as a client)

It was decorated with Charles III images and bunting.

Nothing says Britain 2023 than a Food Bank celebrating a Billionaire with a Gold Hat that we're all paying for.

Late to the party, but: I just watched Biden’s run announcement, and really liked how it emphasized ‘freedom’.

On a pragmatic level, it seems like it might be a message that resonates. It is traditionally patriotic. It’s (right or wrong) a virtue that’s been more emotionally associated with the Republican party, but it’s hard for today’s Republican Party to defend their record on it.

On a more principled level, it really does feel to me like the Democratic Party is the only party defending ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ these days.

I really hope the Democrats manage to focus on this as a message through the campaign.

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years

He promised to reduce the national debt but instead increased it. It is now at its highest level relative to the U.S. economy since the end of World War II

This is one of his lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies, the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch.
