Today I hired a young man from Mexico to do some yard work. He is here seeking asylum, as several of his family members have been murdered by drug lords. They would not be drug lords if millions of Americans were not buying their products. He lives with his brother's family. He is getting straight A's in high school and is a standout player on a travel baseball team. He works at whatever odd jobs he can, sends the money to other family members in NC.

"The U.S. government... should open its own instance in the Fediverse and tell citizens they can find reliable information there."
FWIW @StillIRise1963 many of digital activists, myself included, lobbied for this back in 2008. neither the Obama admin nor Congress wanted to put money into it... and they had control of both the House and Senate.
and here we are.
we knew this was going to eventually happen.

Threads is Instagram. Instagram is Facebook. Facebook is Meta. Meta is Mark Zuckerberg.
Facebook was complicit in a literal genocide.
Meta is a surveillance capitalist that exploits you for profit.
Mark Zuckerberg straight up called you “dumb fucks” for trusting him.
What’s it going to take for you to not help these assholes continue to fuck people over?

I'm of the opinion that #threads should not be engaged with in any way.
Not because I think it's a thread to the #fediverse, although it could potentially be.
Not because I think it will bring a huge amount of bad actors that will harass users on other instances, although that is definitely a risk.
My reason is simpler; #Facebook has done so much evil, society eroding shit, that I don't work with them on principle.
And Facebook knows that as well, which is why threads is instagram branded.

Feels like the best thing since Twitter went on the Fritz and Imploded at the start of this month is that it's now easier to unplug from the Internet in the evening time
Still making a Tweet here and there on #Twitter but the site's now becoming a bit boring to me so less time there is a lot easier now.
THIS. IS. EPIC.
A freaking WONDERFUL gift just arrived! It really ties my 1960s/1970s kiwi kitchen together. Feels like our collective New Zealand childhoods in one room. Such positive vibes. 😊

This is one of #J6 insurrectionists that has yet to be identified. This POS was one of the ones that attacked Staff Sergeant Gonell on that horrible day.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

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.
