I have made an account on Mastodon. I have not moved there yet, but the suspension of the ED of the CA @LeagueWomenVote suggests that Twitter is Musk's personal sandbox and no longer a tenable social media platform. mas.to/@Cajsa
I had planned to stay on Twitter to fight for the public square, but Musk openly endorsing Republicans, suspending people who mocked him while pointing out the problem with selling blue checks, and suspending a League of Women voters account...all in a day. Manchild is manchild.
I will keep the #RepublicanSexualPredators going no matter what. I have it in a public google doc, on Daily Kos, and will post it on other social media as well. Something I have been working on after seeing long-time accounts suspended.
I intend to keep it here, too, as long as I can. I am not deleting my account. I will still try to be present, but I am disgusted beyond belief by the actions of the filth who bought this platform. No, Elon, you can't buy respect.

All the analysts say there has been a flood of unreliable Republican partisan polls released recently. Their answer seems to be that Dems should fight GOP disinformation with Dem disinformation in the form of equally bad polls. It does not occur to them to discount bad polls.
This is similar to the media on climate science, presenting someone who adheres to the facts and balancing them with a liar who presents disinformation and calling that fair. You do not balance facts with lies. And notice that FOX does not bother balancing their "news" with facts
It used to be that the media did present facts and the two-sides argument was over what those facts mean and how we should respond to them. Now they present facts vs. lies and don't inform people who is lying. Asking Dems to flood the zone with bad polling is corrupt.
Is anyone interested in helping with posts on the goppredators.wordpress.com website?
· A post is name, who they are, what they did
· Two or more news articles accessible on internet
· 1 or more screenshot articles in case the above links die.
I am at 370 something and started in January. I need to get to 900 faster than that. I just want to get caught up.
And if anyone is on another social network and wants to tweet or toot or whatever a post is called the google doc, feel free. It's been created to highlight a problem, not to highlight me.
City-Journal and the Wall Street Journal have written a few neener-neener articles about Greenpeace's recent report that plastic recycling is a "dead-end" street. They miss the point.
Serious climate-change activists and enviros haven't been the ones arguing that recycling will save the planet. That comes from politicians and corporate interests who push the idea that consumers can save the planet without regulating businesses.
If recycling does not work, which is doesn't, then the alternative is not to do nothing, but to do what should have been done long ago, switch to renewable energy, mandate reduced carbon emissions, and put the onus where it belongs, on industry.
South Dakota steals indigenous children for federal foster care.moneys . How was he able to adopt when ICWA is supposed to protect indigenous kids? Fucker adopts indigenous child, grooms, and rapes her.
No @KentSchools415, you are not required to have a Holocaust denial book in your library in order to be "broad-minded." Having a broad mind does not require that falsehood be put on the level of facts. In fact, it's the opposite, it's empty-minded.
I cannot believe your work session treated that argument as something serious and true. If you are about education, you do not provide what you know to be false. Seriously, does the math teacher have to teach 1 + 1 - 5 for the innumerates?
That the Holocaust happened is as much a fact as 1 + 1 = 2. I cannot believe you are serious about this.
From @WWeek endorsement of Rene Gonzalez for City Hall, WWeek mentions the police "effort to smear" Hardesty, but that was not just a smear. The Police conspired to frame her for a crime, altering a police report in order to tighten the frame. She's just lucky she sold her car
Let's not forget that a police officer added her plate number to the witness statement. Because she had sold the car, it was evidence of the police effort to frame her rather than framing her as intended.
Accepting corrupt contributions such as nearly free downtown office space is not a stumble, it's corrupt. He accepts corrupt contributions in his first political campaign is a warning that this man is instinctively corrupt.
