If youβve been on social media for longer than 38 seconds, then you know that you control what you see by muting terms and hashtags and muting, unfollowing or blocking people.
But saying βI donβt want to see anything about [topic] so please stop posting itβ isnβt okay. No one, on any platform, is going to tailor their posts to your liking, and they shouldnβt.
B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have βblood on their handsβ. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.
I'm with Joe and Kamala.
BECAUSE of Joe AND Kamala.
No ifs.
No ands.
No buts.
You might have noticed that I boosted a few---or maybe 50---toots about duly-elected Representative #ZooeyZephyr being censured, silenced and oppressed by the #Montana House today. For speaking truth to power. For protecting her constituents.
And I'll keep boosting those posts because everyone needs to pay attention to this story. This assault on #Democracy.
#Trans live matter. Right? Find a way to prove you believe that.
This is Authoritarianism
This is why

Swedish #Reddit users getting banned over cinnamon bun outrage
The American habit of covering cinnamon buns in icing is regularly mocked by Swedes who see it as a perversion of a real kanelbulle.
Now the moderators of reddit's food forum are starting to ban lots of Swedes.
In another comments a moderator said they didn't want "moronic cum obsessed Swedish users" in the forum π
It's really not about Biden. It's about the incumbent Democratic president versus the Republican Party. That's the choice. Sure I wish we had a younger, more charismatic nominee who would unflinchingly push for my personal agenda, but that's fantasy, not reality
