ScottinSoCal 🇺🇦 🕊 🏳‍🌈 @ScottSoCal@computerfairi.es

I know we all get it but our job is to warn others about how truly dangerous Ron DeSantis is to our democracy and our freedoms.

To the folks in service jobs, public and private, working over the holidays, we see you and thank you for caring for our communities. 🕊️

Happy human holiday to one and all.
Even if you don't celebrate, have a fantastic day.

Terrifying to think that dropping migrants off in the freezing cold without necessary clothing, food, shelter, with no warning for local officials, on Christmas Eve, is the thing Republicans think they need to do to get ahead in their party.

Greg Abbot intentionally chose Christmas Eve to attack migrants seeking shelter. Fascist losers like him get off on the hypocrisy of claiming to be Christian.

🤣🎄❤️

Imagine celebrating a whole-ass holiday about how the founder of your religion was born in a barn because his parents were fleeing and spending it... treating the people who have fled to your country like this

Today 83,000 Texans lost power and prices surged by 400%

Greg Abbott had YEARS to fix this

Instead of fixing ERCOT and the shitty power grid, he spent all his time policing our vaginas

Flying to fancy campaign fundraisers

Building a useless wall

Not attending Uvalde funerals

It is important to remember what this day is about.

Let us praise cheeses.

The Jetsons was such a good show.

@ScottSoCal I would have never believed the utter rot of our system by corporations and an entire corrupt political party. The Framers never conceived of a political party so craven and corrupt that they’d elevate a blathering criminal such as Trump to the highest office in the land. Nope. Never.

My wife & I don’t do Christmas gifts (why would we when we can just buy whatever we need or want during the year). But this year I came out to find a bunch of presents for me. When I said we aren’t supposed to get presents for each other, she said “Olivia hasn’t gotten a lot of presents. I thought she should get some things.” I really am so lucky sometimes 😍

Actually, the tax returns of all Supreme Court justices should absolutely be made public. That should be a requirement to be one of the nine people with lifetime appointments who make final legal decisions for the rest of the country.

How can anyone say with a straight face that climate change is a hoax?

When I began using the bird site in 2008, retweets had to be done manually by copying and pasting the text of someone's post into your own post. The retweet button came along the following year. Built-in quote tweet functionality didn't arrive until 2015. The history of both features is worth knowing about as users here on Mastodon debate the upsides and downsides that eventually resulted from them. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/how-the-retweet-ruined-the-internet
