New: President #Biden will speak tonight at 7:45pm ET on the Supreme Court's immunity ruling. #SCOTUS

Holy shit Americans, you are one election away from a total authoritarian nightmare. Good luck #uspol

And we already lost Italy to the dark side. And the Netherlands. Germany is almost there...

Voters are disillusioned, I get it. We need to somehow explain to them that the problem is corruption, spearheaded by corporations and billionaires, not immigrants and LGBTQs.

One of the last remaining trustworthy signals coming to an end. 🤬

I’m really hoping all the terminally online weirdos out there who live in the real world will make this election an overwhelming defeat for Trump and his malignant cult.

That’s my one optimistic post for the year.

We can't have parachutes, pilots will just fly recklessly.

We can't have seat belts; they'll just cause more car accidents.

We can't water the plants, they'll just grow dependent on water.

We can't have unconditional basic income, people will just stop working.

ALL OF THESE CLAIMS ARE STUPID

Nigel Farage, Trump, and Putin all represent the idea, that the best person to represent the interests of ordinary people, is a rich, self-absorbed manbaby, who is in it for the grift.

It is a bad idea.

With a heat wave shattering temperature records across the country, let me just say that history will not look fondly on those who put fossil fuel profits above saving the planet.

How to use Mastodon:

Step 1: Sign up.

Step 2: Do regular social media stuff.

I wrote to my Toronto city councillor asking them to consider creating a plan to get off Twitter due to, you know, all the fascism.

Their staffer’s reply? “it’s still an important tool for us … as most journalists remain active on Twitter”

Members of the media still on the bird site: you’re not neutral. You are part of propping up that place. You can leave and follow bots on Mastodon, RSS feeds, email newsletters, and more.

Quote of the day...

"Everything looks like a conspiracy if you don't understand how anything works."

LOL! I bet my life this NEVER happened! JD Vance has debased himself SO MUCH, he may as well smear excrement all over himself and shout nonsensical ravings to passersby in Times Square.

Trump and Vance are the suckers and losers!
