Under Trump, Zelenskyy was extorted, weakened and made more vulnerable. Under Biden, he's been celebrated and supported.
It wasn't just criminal referrals: Jan. 6 Cmte. referred four House Republicans to Ethics Committee for ignoring congressional subpoenas.

I donβt ever post personal things, but Iβm too excited not to share!
I have had an incredibly tough medical battle for the last two years.
Without getting into specifics, yesterday was a huge milestone for me!
My Hickman (tunneled central line) was removed. Although I still have some chronic med issues/pain, this marks a significant move in the right direction and a big improvement in my quality of life!
IβM SO THANKFUL! βΊοΈβ€οΈβπ©Ήπ
Is it not fitting that one if the exceptionally few #museum s with the awareness to start publishing here is the Auschwitz Memorial?

The January 6 committee has released the deposition transcripts of 34 traitors who pleaded the Fifth over and over, even for questions as simple as, βHow old are you?β and βAre coups allowed?β https://youtu.be/H4VNlDIkyxY

One of the things my team @ProPublica does is run our Nonprofit Explorer database. Itβs super popular and useful, but it relies on IRS data to run.
So weβre in a unique position to both see that the IRS is failing at its duty to make this data available and also to be able to report on it as news: https://www.propublica.org/article/irs-hasnt-released-nearly-half-million-nonprofit-tax-records

Several racist incidents targeting Black people occurred this high school football season around the nation. Administrators in some cases have used these incidents to start conversations about race.

As children in Bosnia prepare gift boxes for their peers living through war in Ukraine, their parents remember the time a generation ago when they were the ones receiving the little moments of joy sent by strangers. https://t.co/weKCN6Xq3u
Please boost! So today I turn [redacted] and I'm looking for electronic music suggestions! I like being exposed to new music, and while not everything will be ofmy taste, I'll never find new music if not exposed to it. EDM, Techno, Dance, Trance, synthwave, etc and all subgenres are welcome! Please link a YT or Spotify link.
I'll go first:

Trolls have already come, but they get blocked, then removed. If a server somewhere becomes a haven for trolls, admins of other servers cut them out of the fediverse.
I'm told TFG's "Truth" site is an instance of Mastodon that no one else will connect to.
Things Iβve noticed here so far. 1. Length of posts is long enough to make a point without assuming to much prior knowledge or droning on. Nice. 2. Very few whacky follower/following ratios, not too many huge egos. 3. Canβt translate posts. Weβre good for three languages in this house and then we have to give up. Little disappointing. 4. The general attitude seems to be *donβt be a jerk face*. Hope it lasts but the trolls will come. 5. Wanted, leftist views from all over. International iykwim π

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
