Trump bragged he gave Israeli military secrets to Russia.

Russia is allied with Iran and Hamas.

THIS is why Trump’s abuse of his privilege holding classified info is NOT trivial or bureaucratic.

When intel security is breached, people DIE.

40) Day 347 since the #Twitter acquisition and all credibility for what was once the preferred #SocialMedia breaking news platform, has evaporated

#Wired has the story on how bad algorithms, bogus blue checks and the the elimination of Twitter’s fact checking team has resulted in a flood of #Gaza and #Israel disinformation

The Olympics should be held in one place forever so they only have to pay
maintenance costs to keep it up to standards. And it should outside of any
nation, similar to Vatican City.

25 years ago today (10/6), Matthew Shepard was beaten and left for dead — tied to a fence in Wyoming. The only part of his face not covered in blood was two white lines running down his cheeks from where his tears ran dry. His death ignited a fight for equality. Never forget. Rest in Power Matthew. #RememberingMatthew #ShepardLegacy #TearsOfInjustice #EndHateCrimes

I know there is a lot going on, but Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for far less than what Trump has done.

Just thought I should remind everyone of that.

How do you feel RIGHT NOW?

(The reason I'm asking, apart from being nosy, is that we all know that #Twitter is an angry place, but what is #Mastodon? Please answer honestly tho. And give it a #boost, if you don't mind.)

Twitter / X is serving users with a new ad format that can't be blocked or reported

the ads aren't even actual X posts & aren't connected to any X accounts. they do not disclose that they are ads

it appears the ads are connected to clickbait ad networks

Oh good CNN is getting in on the "why good jobs reports are bad news" thing too. Outlets like the NYT, CNN, etc. may be better than the literal propaganda organs of the right of Fox News, etc. but that is such a low bar. It is ironic that the country that pioneered having freedom of the press and freedom of speech in their constitution has a media closer to what you see in a banana republic. #uspoli #msm #cnn

@igd_news@kolektiva.social @justice4leif@kolektiva.social When the authorities press charges on people defending themselves against Nazis, they're telling you themselves that their allegiance lies not with the public, but with the Nazis.

Ohio, why do you pay your police and prosecutors to defend Nazis but not their victims? You might want to look into that, I'm certainly keeping tabs on it down here

Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.

A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.

They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.

I'm not a racist xenophobe. I like the global south. I love its people, their kindness and love for each other, and the rich tapestry of cultures.♥️

🤔 But if I was a racist xenophobe, and I didn't want yucky Black and brown migrants coming here, then I would strongly consider *checks notes* NOT making the global south uninhabitable by human beings.

I dunno, just a thought? Seems more practical than "Nah, ruin their climate! Then build a wall (fence) capable of blocking over a billion people!"

"What makes this news more interesting is the fact that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has abandoned its Threads account but is still maintaining its self-hosted Mastodon accounts online." #Media https://darnell.day/bbc-gives-up-on-threads-by-instagram-sticks-with-mastodon?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

I just want to apologize to all of the non-Americans on here having to scroll past our many political outrage posts. I’m exhausted from our insane daily US news cycle. I can only imagine how sick of it people outside our country must be. Sorry.

Clean up on Aisle America!

This, from @pluralistic, is absolutely on point.

This is why I’m here, and why I am helping to build #CoSocialCa
