There's a setting you can click that will remind you (not force you, you can still post without) to add alt text to any images. I find it incredibly helpful.

I apologise for the lack of Alt Text in my last few posts. It's a new concept, and I'm trying to build the habit. I will do better in the future!

Last week 2 bone chilling events happened regarding the West Bank where I have many relatives. Radical Israeli settlers engaged in a massive violent attack on a Palestinian community AND a member of Netanyahu's cabinet called for wiping the entire community out. There's been a massive spike in Israeli settler violence versus Palestinian Christians and Muslims. Biden admin must use the funds we give to Israel to guarantee protections for religious minorities!

It's the hypocrisy of the *coastal elites* being the problem, when they themselves are just as coastal and even more elitist.

come children let me tell you of a golden era when every day didn’t start with the words β€œthe fuck did they do now”

When our homes turn into Amazon-owned surveillance fortresses, we lose any control over our safety and privacy.

Ring isn't safe. Not for homeowners, not for communities. Calling them "security devices" is farcical

This van that is CLEARLY a surveillance van has been parked outside of my house all day, so I’ve spent the entire day erratically walking around my house while saying a bunch of super weird stuff just to throw off their investigation.

Compared to any media in the US, The Guardian is one step away from forming an anarchist mob and throwing molotov cocktails at Big Ben.

@StillIRise1963 I am happy that Mr Newsom is showing other Democrats what fighting back might look like. And Newsweek? Jeez, Americans have trash media, huh? Mind you, as a Brit, it always makes me laugh when I see that The Guardian is our β€œleft-leaning” newspaper. We need some real media representation from somewhere!

I support boycotting Walgreens Pharmacy, but you tagged Mark, from Modesto.

From the page:
I'm Mark, I'm from Modesto and I love to surf whenever I get a chance.

Kevin McCarthy did this. He showed contempt for our democracy.

He showed contempt for the officers who were mercilessly beaten to protect all of us, including him.

Five officers who defended the Capitol are no longer with us. Kevin McCarthy showed contempt for their families.

@hannu_ikonen I've not used walgreens for nearly a decade because of this pattern of behavior. The pharmacists' job is to make sure im not taking meds that interact poorly, not to decided if i should take them at all.

At another place where I've been for years and know all the regulars, someone brand new came in and started asking if their were groups providing transportation or other assistance to women seeking abortions. My first thought was "sting operation". That $10K bounty Texas is offering probably has people scouring everywhere.

After Roe was overturned last summer remember when advocates told folks to not create Facebook groups or DM correspondence organizing to help folks with abortion access? This is why πŸ‘‡πŸΏ

Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers

Lately I've started objecting to the whole "culture wars" name. There is no war, there's a minority of people who decided society hit peak perfection at some time in the past, and changes are no longer allowed.
Sorry, cupcakes, that isn't how societies work.

i stand
on the sacrifices
of a milion women before me
thinking
what can i do
to make this mountain taller
so the women after me
can see farther

I've been saying for awhile Elon Musk's vaunted "first principles” shtick is simply a cover for being incurious.

I don't know how much more evidence you need. Even the tiniest amount of curiosity would have shown him the error of this beef. Alas.

On the bright side: what an incredible story. I am fortified for having learned about Halli Thorleifsson.
