The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying.

And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.

This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards

If Trump sent an armed mob into a CVS instead of the Capitol, he'd have been in a SuperMax since January 6th.

Saddened to hear today of the death of Renata Scotto at the age of 89, here singing Isabelle's Robert, toi que j'aime from Meyerbeer's Robert le diable.

One of the great sopranos of the late 20th century. RIP

DEADBEAT: Trump never paid his co-conspirators https://occupydemocrats.com/2023/08/16/deadbeat-trump-never-paid-his-co-conspirators/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Musk has been testing journalism's tolerance for BS and bullying for a long time now. He discovered years ago that the press will routinely publish his lies.

Since taking over Twitter, he's learned that the press, with a very few honorable exceptions, responds to his bullying and contempt with mild protests and ongoing support of his vile platform.

He's disgusting in so many ways, but he's not stupid.

I like to yell "LET'S FUCKING DO THIS" as I enter my car, so my neighbors think I'm going somewhere way more exciting than the grocery store.

Jenna Ellis, Trump's former attorney who was indicted alongside him, has started a fundraiser to cover her legal bills. The options on the website are for you to "donate," "share," or "pray."

Hey, an instance for black queer folk that needs a bit of exposure to get the word out about it. Please boost if you have friends who've felt alienated by the nazis you tend to find on other, unmentionable servers. https://blackqueer.life

PREDICTION: The Sheriff in Fulton County says he will post Trump's mugshot, height and weight just like everyone else arrested there. My prediction is that he will claim the height and weight posted is false designed to make him look shorter and fatter than he claims.

Each state's laws will be different. In Florida the Governor appoints 6 citizen trustees to the board for each state University. Those trustees have to be confirmed by the Florida Senate. Right now, Florida has a Republican supermajority and they are a rubber stamp for DeSantis's agenda. Governor DeSantis want to turn New College into a school similar to Hillsdale College. That school leans very heavily conservative. It also is a private college that isn't subject to state funding or education standards.

@georgetakei Sounds like Mr DeSantis is learning a truth that most media/business/legal types already know: do not fuck with the House of Mouse.

Sorry for the twitter link but this is a really important thread: polling showing that Russian propaganda in Germany and France is working:
