The biggest mistake moderate Democrats are making is that they are governing to preserve institutional credibility while hoping that Trumpism will blow over, rather than preparing with grim fortitude for a society-wide confrontation with a fascist movement playing for keeps. /1

Oh no, Mastodon isn't like Twitter?

That's too bad. We're not going to change to accommodate someone's inability to do so.

Those that don't like Mastodon as it is can go back to Twitter. Better for them to go back rather than stay and complain that we're not like the place they hate.

Tonight I spoke at an AAPI event and mentioned America's history of anti-Asian discrimination—including the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Asiatic Exclusion League, & Koramatsu & Japanese Camps.

Afterwards an older gentlemen approached me and said, "Thank you for reminding everyone the US Govt locked Japanese Americans in camps. I know—because I was born in those camps. I carry that with me til this day."

I was left in awe. A reminder—this isn't ancient history folks. It's contemporary reality.

Joe Biden's decision to focus on freedom as the theme of his 2024 campaign is quite shrewd.

By emphasizing this fundamental American value, Biden taps into a moral framework deeply embedded in the American psyche. It's about time!

It truly is utterly incomprehensible that this is their response to a gun problem.

So much research shows taking away the guns greatly reduces gun related deaths.

The NRA has blood in its hands.

Meanwhile in colorado, parents were locked out of a board meeting. Board member had a church group fill the seats early. People need to attend their school board meetings to avoid having the fringes take over.

Good: Former DHS disinformation expert sues Fox News for defamation: Nina Jankowicz, who once led the Department of Homeland Security board, said that Fox deliberately lied about her and that she was subjected to death threats: nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna83871

Go kids! Anti-#LGBTQ+ bigots in Indiana posing as "concerned parents" tried to cancel this student play, but the kids decided to defy them and produce it anyway. This generation gives me hope.wfyi.org/news/articles/indiana

I addition to deleting #CNN from my phone, I've removed them from the Firefox completely. That includes their nearly 2 dozen cookies.

Now to remove them from my #SiriusXM favorites page.

Please don't boost #CNN's brand of fascist-fawning. They belong to #Trump now.

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: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

@flexghost I completely agree that CNN needs to be boycotted and is no better than Fox. Disgraceful behavior just to make a buck. Many won’t agree, but we need to move beyond President Biden’s age and make sure Orange-Guy NEVER occupies the White House. #VoteBlue #VoteBlue2024

CNN giving a sociopath more than an hour to lie on live TV in front of MAGA cheerleaders reminds me that ...

... Joe Biden cleaned up the economic mess that sociopath left behind & led the USA to the strongest post-pandemic economic comeback in the World.
