Political strategist @RachelBitecofer over on #birdsite — haven’t seen her on Mastodon yet — believes the #MAGA #GOP should be mercilessly mocked for all their fascist-wannabe BS agitprop. Combining the mocking with stating truth. Sort of sounds like the direct opposite of GOP’s lies and incitement to division. Hakeem Jeffries just might be very adept at this.

For #AcademicToots #AcademicMastodon I’m wondering if universities established dot edu masto instances that we adopted, this could supplant paid #BlueCheck #BlueTick verifications as a de facto employer verification in the #Fediverse, at least for our sector.

#WhoGoesNazi read this piece, written by the first female journalist to be expelled from Nazi Germany, #DorothyThompson she sets the reader up at a gala. Each person we meet is a letter of the alphabet. Which letter would you be most similar to? Your neighbor? Brother? Auntie? (Ps. I don’t know who shared it first, but thank you. It is so helpful to understand the human nature, & background that helps create the #Nazi).

Then they came for the surrealists,
And I did not speak out,
Because my tuba was on fire.

Elon Musk only bans Black nazis. The rest are fine with him.

Legit question: When is it finally time to walk away, no matter what it says about "ceding ground." Because if the Daily Stormer aint it what is? If you're still there (I am) whats the line? Asking for real. https://www.mediaite.com/online/elon-musk-allows-editor-of-neo-nazi-site-the-daily-stormer-back-on-twitter/?fbclid=IwAR1wsfbaEzn5Ls_2erko8bzee0sGJlRG4pHAJt8XgslCjrSZm0hWYhzoGH4

I love it in here. There's currently a hashtag named #thicktrunktuesday that is basically pics of massive, beautiful trees.
I humbly submit El Tule, an incredible ahuehuete from the state I was born, Oaxaca. It's over 2000 years old. "Tule" means "Tree of Enlightment" #Oaxaca #Mexico #ElTule It has the thickest trunk in the world.
