@markmetz Everything he does is just another step to kiling the platform. In the end, the less free spaces for public discussion the better the chances that propganda can take hold.
@Baley I already have for a few years now. Turns out some people don't like when you assume they're an AI over the phone.
President Jimmy Carter is said by his family to be in his final days. My heart goes out to his loved ones and to our nation as a whole, who will have lost a good and decent man. Let his example be a beacon of hope, and let us all exhibit the kind of selflessness, compassion, and kindness he exuded all his days.

This Co-Lab operates as a resource-sharing hub that guides organizers through the process of incubating and strengthening #libraries of things as a social practice for communities"
@TruthSandwich You're absolutely right. When they have to campaign on taking voting rights away from young people it's just an admission that their backwards views have become irrelevant to the future of society.
@TruthSandwich Desantis is scary. No person in their right mind should consider supporting such a monster, yet the kool-aid they're serving to Trump supporters seems to give him a boost too.
At this point I'm just waiting for the Republican sham to finally come crumbling down so we can get back to real progress instead of dangerous civil-war stoking.

Native American Families Are Being Broken Up in Spite of a Law Meant to Keep Children With Their Parents
==
In a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court just upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Read this new report from @lussenpop that highlights just how important ICWA has been in keeping Native American families together — and how some families are still torn apart despite the law:

@rdaily The people who continue to send him money every time he begs for it all have one thing in common; they repeat the same actions over and over expecting something different each time.
Going to be speaking on a panel for the 2023 #solarpunk conference! called "From Capitalist Realism to a Solarpunk Reality: Theorizing and Building the Infrastructures of a Better Future". Where we challenge the idea of what's 'realistic'. With a Q&A session after the talks!
Our talks will be building off each other's work, blending academic & activist methods, techniques, and thoughts with concrete, real-world examples. These ideas are guided by sociopolitical movements and feminist, queer, and indigenous thought.
A sneak peek into my own talk! I'll be telling a narrative story of how we can build dual power through collective action, with actionable examples mixed in that highlight steps that we can take right now - steps that might snowball into larger change.
Just to be clear, if you work in tech and you work on a product like this, you're one of the bad guys.

Trump
Really enjoying everyone insisting how important it is that "Biden didn't indict Trump, the Democrats didn't indict Trump, Garland didn't indict Trump... A jury of his peers indicted Trump."
Don't be a fuckwit. Would Trump have been indicted under a Republican president or AG?
Yes, this is how the rule of law should work. So OWN it. "Republicans commit crimes and put all of us at risk. Democrats bring them to justice and clean up the mess. Who do you want in charge?"

@John I don't think Reddit will be going anywhere soon, but their users sure might. Moves like this aren't for reaching profitability, it's just to stifle dissent and control a narrative.
@garyackerman When the system won't bend, you have to break outside of it. I've learned more from seeking my own education than in any university lecture.
@bitprophet The whole anti-violence thing is pushed on people by those who want to see the status quo maintained.
@qurlyjoe @Americanist4u @Gladiator@universeodon.com He is just a one person and not a threat. His base is an army taking orders from a lunatic and that's where he becomes a threat.
@LaNaehForaday Every time I read anything that orange has written it becomes that much more obvious how unhinged his view of reality truly is.
