So here's why I think the former Twitter is dead, or at least, dead to me: Even if Musk sold it tomorrow to someone who essentially rolled everything back to how it was before he took it over, I don't think I would go back. I've already switched over to other places and largely configured my online presence to have the former Twitter be a minimal part of it now. I would have to do actual work to put it back where it was. I'm probably not going to do that.
A man accused of beating a 66-year-old Sikh man to death after a minor car crash was motivated by “rage inflamed by hate,” the Queens, NYC district attorney says while announcing that the killing was now being prosecuted as a hate crime. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/31/nyregion/sikh-man-killing-hate-crime-charges.html
Today we remember Roshdi Sarraj, a Palestinian journalist who was killed last week by Israeli air strikes. Roshdi, who reported for outlets including the ABC is one of 31 journalists who have been killed in this terrible conflict and we pay tribute to them all #pressfreedom

Now if someone could just explain our binary choice of applying the law, or we reap authoritarianism, to Joe Biden and Merrick Garland.
No federal charges yet against a single fake elector or member of congress, because they "don't want to appear partisan". Traitors Mike Flynn and the rest laugh at the law. Garland enables them.

@JimsPhotos followed you on Twitter and when I moved here a year ago I was thrilled to see you posting here.
@NorCal_Lynne Glad you came over. I deleted my account and left there. I miss a few friends I made there, but couldn't tolerate being fed propaganda on my timeline on a daily basis.

Here is the first act of the new right-wing Republican leadership of the House: As a condition of aiding Israel, they insist on defunding the IRS’s ability to go after rich tax cheats.
Not sure why that isn’t getting bigger play in the mainstream press.

I run a Midwest graffiti website / magazine called Wandering Minds that started in the late 90s and I have recently resurrected it.

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.
