Then what happened…….?

i was wondering how long it would take the people scolding others for tearing into mitch mconnell's old ass stroking out in public over and over

i'm not being ableist or ageist against others; just that piece of shit who has done more to send us back to the 50s than anyone else and has saddled us with that for decades to come.

fuck that withering decrepit piece of shit

Occasionally on Mastodon, I will have a run in with someone who still deals in Sexism, racism and homophobia. It just seems like it hits harder here, because I view this as a safe place to be myself. Sometimes the ugliness in the world overwhelms me, and the way I cope with it is by reminding myself of the beauty and kindness in the world.

So, if you feel like it, share something nice, could be a news story, a fact, a photo, or a personal story, anything positive or at least turned out positive.

Seriously, being able to share with all of you, and being so openly embraced by this community has been an unusual privilege in the world of social media. I hope we all keep striving to make this an equitable and fun place.

@Fayedray In this case, it's bureaucrats bending over backwards for a prideful, controlling Trump-loving extreme rightwing Govenor running for president.

@murshedz Unbelievable. #ElonMusk is not just a #fascist. He's also an imbecile who failed upwards because he was born into money.

Trump County in Iowa Ousts Conspiracy Theorist, Elects Democrat Instead

The election in Iowa’s Warren County offers major lessons for Democrats organizing in other red states.

Voters in a small pro-Trump county in Iowa have voted out an election auditor who repeatedly shared conspiracy theories, including about QAnon and the 2020 election. Then they replaced him with a Democrat.

BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM

NEW: A red-leaning county in Iowa yesterday ousted an election denier who was county's chief elections office.

Dems won 2:1, a big turnaround from Trump's 17% win here. And note Dems collected thousands of signatures to force a special election here: https://boltsmag.org/iowa-warren-county-auditor-ousted-election-denier/

Less than a year ago, they bought a single civilian drone. Now, equipped with FPV suicide drones and heavy-lift octocopters, these operators have demonstrated that in contemporary warfare, even a small number of skilled and motivated pilots can eliminate hundreds of enemy armored vehicles.

This is the story of a unique combat unit within the Ukrainian army that has already destroyed over a billion dollars worth of enemy equipment—the Magyar Birds.

By and large, the American press is not telling us how dangerous Trump is. He’s telling us himself; but many still pretend this will be a normal election. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/30/trump-interview-jail-political-opponents-glenn-beck
