DAILY REMINDER: Today's MAGA GOP is no longer a political party, it's a white nationalist, FASCIST party that seeks to force their religion upon us by law. They are BANNING abortion, books, Black History + more. They must be politically crushed in order to preserve our Republic.

Surprise, surprise: the avian flu thing was just an excuse. Egg producers are price gouging. #Inflation #CorporateLies

I was thrilled to talk to the Beatles Earth podcast about the #Beatles' impact on the world and me. It was recorded just before #DavidCrosby died, so I asked Croz how the band affected him. Thanks to Jack Lawless for this fun and now extra-poignant conversation. #music https://linktr.ee/BeatlesEarth

Demonstrating yet again that there are actually people who would be more dangerous than Trump as President.

IT'S TIME TO BOOOOOST!!!! 🚀

It's time to BOOST and ENGAGE with people who toot about their lives by replying to this toot or by using the #today hashtag.

Let's encourage discussions about our daily lives.

Why did you choose that place to eat?
Why are you working on your car?
Exactly how many cats DO you have?

It's thru our common lives that we express our common humanity.

Let's all do out best to HELP KEEP MASTODON SOCIAL!!!

REMINDER: After http://popular.info first published this story on Monday, Twitter appended a "Community Note" suggesting that teachers were not instructed to remove all books from classroom libraries.

That "Community Note" was misinformation

While we're talking about women prisoners in Scotland, did you know that a quarter of them are on remand, and the majority of those will not serve a custodial sentence? Even a few weeks on remand can mean losing your home, job and custody of children. That's bad for everyone.

"The rise of biosocial criminology has ... sparked alarm among some scholars, who argue that the science is shoddy — and that racist ideas and assumptions animate the field."

Two wannabe dictators who launched failed coups live in Florida yet somehow the governor of the state is a bigger fascist than either of them.
