I didn’t not watch the bullsh!t #CNN giving trump a televised rally filled with only his supporters and allowing him to lie for a solid hour… but I’ve seen some clips.

For anyone who’s seen more of this shitshow than I did, I get the impression #KaitlinCollins was A) thrown to the wolves with this assignment and B) in way over her head and C) very likely was told not to push back much.

Anyone else have a take on it?

Oh, and I will say again: I’m done with CNN for good.

What does a neuro-affirming shopping experience look like to you?

Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades often accidentally bite their tongue (physically, not figuratively)? If so, you aren’t alone.

#AskingAutistics

With the current escalation of violence in Israel & Palestine, my thoughts go out to all of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades in both Gaza and Israel who need to live thru the constant sirens, the overstimulation, the fear of missiles and rockets, the overall dysregulation.

I made you all different colors, genders, and sexual orientations to spice things up. Diversity is key, my dudes.

The Ugly Truth Behind “We Buy Ugly Houses”
==
A ProPublica investigation — based on court documents, #property records, company training materials and interviews with 48 former franchise owners and dozens of #homeowners — found HomeVestors franchisees that used #deception and targeted the #elderly, infirm and those so close to #poverty that they feared homelessness would be a consequence of selling.

I saw someone point out elsewhere that Elon Musk is on a trajectory that's pretty similar to that of John McAfee. who was once a widely respected tech industry figure, became wealthy, then seemed to go a little nuttier every year, and then...

Anyway, I can't get that thought out of my head now.

After a video emerged of a white student’s racist tirade, campus activists are demanding the university take immediate action.

Good guy with a gun instantly becomes bad guy with a gun, which means there was no one left to stop the bad guy with a gun.

Thanks for “protecting the neighborhood,” Rambo.

By the way, this appears to be the 3rd story of someone killed in their own bedroom by “stray bullets” in Harris Co., Texas reported in the Houston Chronicle in the last six months.

One of the things that made Twitter so powerful was its ability to amplify calls for grassroots activism— it's time to see if Mastodon can deliver the goods, too: if you want to help send the message that fascists should not be given a national platform to spew their hateful rhetoric: open Apple News (or your Android equivalent) and block the *CNN Politics* channel

Jamie Lee Curtis:

One of the things I learned during the “reign” of 45 was that there’s always another layer below “rock bottom.”

Always.

Strap yourselves in … the effing ride has started again.

Frakk.

@adamcsmith @ScottSoCal people who believe in hell 😡

The GOP is on an all-out crusade against the trans community. Red states have weaponized their gerrymandered supermajorities to pass laws outlawing gender-affirming care. This care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association.

We need to tell the Biden Administration to undertake every effort to block these dangerous laws. My team and I urge you to take action with us: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/transgender-youth-biden-gop-attacks

Good, Big Banks pay -not Americans (directly): In the wake of the banks' failures last month, the FDIC est.: total losses at $22.5B, with $19.2B attributable to uninsured deposits -revised those -downward, to $15.8B stemming from uninsured deposits -bc the US's largest banks benefitted the most when the agency covered uninsured depositors' losses, those big banks would bear the brunt of these costs. Estimates: 113 banks will have to pay, & >4,000 smaller banks will not-: https://www.axios.com/2023/05/11/fdic-silicon-valley-signature-bank?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_source=twitter

I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden made a phone call to the hospital connecting Chris Licht with a top neurosurgeon who quickly assessed Licht's condition (near fatal brain aneurysm) making his treatment a top priority.

Licht later credited Biden for saving his life.

Yesterday, Licht set fire to democracy and Biden's agenda.

Chris Licht made it to the List of Deplorables.

This is a 100% true science fact.
