How about instead of destroying America’s supply chain, canceling trains, and ruining peoples' plans, uber-profitable railway companies give their workers the paid sick leave they deserve?

Hello people of the Fediverse! Some of you may have heard that a new Mastodon client, Ivory,  is in development for iOS (and Mac!). This is true! Tapbots is going all in on Mastodon and we hope this place continues to grow and thrive. Tweetbot will continue to be developed alongside Ivory as a lot of code is shared. A new Mac version of Tweetbot and Ivory are also currently in development and we are working hard on getting those towards a public beta state.

The guilty verdict against Oath Keeper Founder Stewart Rhodes was a big win for the DoJ. But what does it mean for the broader investigation and our understanding of the nature and forces behind January 6? I unpack some key takeaways in today’s piece.

@aravosis This is not going to work out the way the Russians think it will work out.

"Here is a rifle. Go fight the army of your own countryfolks trying to liberate you from our occupation."

Sure. That won't have any undesired consequences. /s

The Respect for Marriage Act was passed by the Senate today. It is, in so many ways, an imperfect bill. It is also going to protect millions of LGBTQ families, and I’m grateful to Senator Tammy Baldwin for leading on it.

I wrote about the bill here: https://charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/i-hate-the-senate-bill-and-we-need#details

I think Kanye West went on Tucker Carlson tonight and I can’t wait to see the video. I’m sorry, I need the distraction!

New server means new #introduction.

Hi all! I'm a journalist who covers hate and extremism in the US at a publication I launched called The Informant.

I began my career almost 20 years ago at a local newspaper in Arizona and later worked on staff at Talking Points Memo and the Southern Poverty Law Center. I've also freelanced a lot.

I enjoy art and graffiti. I was recently diagnosed with #LongCovid, which has drastically changed my life. But I'm still here.

Please feel free to say hi.

There is no such thing as an unlimited right. Slander, libel, death threats, hate speech, perjury, false reports to law enforcement -- there are many forms of speech that are illegal, and HAVE to be illegal for society to operate. Finding those boundaries is difficult, and requires constant consideration. But pretending that there is an unfettered right to speak unconstrained by how it can can cause harm to others is childish.

Some pretty day lilies to brighten up your day!

WHAHEY! Thank you for helping me reach 5000+ Mastodon followers. It is daunting trying to rebuild from the birdsite, but dear god that gormless, formless, aspirational-fascist shit-head who owns it is unbearable. Unbearable.
