I think it’s down to one thing and one thing only. What are Republicans offering to the majority of people in America?
NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!
At the risk of sounding needy: I need people to talk to. My brain requires conversation to make me do the Thing, whatever that might be. I have set up a discord server for people who want to pop in and chat. https://discord.gg/ewzmHje5
The host of Strict Scrutiny did a wonderful job of revisiting the Dobbs decision and it’s effect. It’s painful and important. https://www.stitcher.com/show/strict-scrutiny/episode/the-dobbs-decision-hasnt-aged-well-306060477
Canadian friends, I applaud this push for a boycott of Facebook and Instagram August 23rd and 24th. I understand it's to encourage those companies to let Canadians share news again.

But don''t stop there. OPT OUT FOR GOOD. Canadians don't need the "social" giants--for news or anything else. We need an independent media sharing infrastructure away from those toxic tools. Get off for good, invest in independence, resilience and community connection, and don't look back.
Yo #Seattle I need to give you my Mid-century modern 1935 Baldwin Acrosonic upright piano. Boosts appreciated as it is hard to unload pianos these days.

The crybabies who freak out about *The Communist Manifesto* appearing on university curriculum clearly never read it - chapter one is basically a long hymn to capitalism's flexibility and inventiveness, its ability to change form and adapt itself to everything the world throws at it and come out on top:

Because I'm only seeing other #Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at #synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our #communities. We're worried, and we need #people to know what's happening to us.

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.
