@Rasta @tc_morekindness My one claim to fame spider. A Fisher spider on my sea wall-no macro or micro photography needed. Not as much fun, but just as gross. Made me fall backwards when it moved.
🇺🇦 President @ZelenskyyUa shared a video with religious institutions 🇷🇺 destroyed
"For 🇷🇺 everything is just a target. But the rockets and artillery of the terrorist state did not break our humanity and faith. 🇺🇦 will win, life will win!" he said
people seriously posting like "use a chrome extension to hide all tweets from verified accounts! fight the power!"
and like. maybe instead of participating in the corrupt, toxic, pay-to-play fascist recruitment network you could just *not use twitter* and use something else? cause i guaran-fucking-tee you that quitting twitter will send a stronger signal than continuing to engage while hiding some posts
idk just feels like we've hit the "i'll do literally anything to protest what's happening at twitter except quit twitter" stage and like, you're just giving him what he wants
Soros is definitely anti-fascist & walks the talk because of his personal experience with fascism.
I don't think they'd "shift with the wind" because they recognize that fascists don't respect property rights.
Fascists are thieves. They loot national treasuries at industrial scale & loot private property
As Bill Browder has amply demonstrated, fascists take wealth & kill or imprison opponents
Democrat donors recognize that the rule of law in a democracy preserves wealth better than fascism
On March 27, facing the prospect of a general strike, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to delay his effort to push through a judicial reform that will centralize control in his hands. In return for that concession, he gave his extreme-right minister of internal security—convicted terrorist Itamar Ben-Gvir—permission to establish a militia under his own authority. In other words, having gained control of the government but not yet of the streets, the reigning far-right coalition is buying time to figure out how to suppress popular unrest while intensifying the persecution of Palestinians.
The Palestinians will suffer most of all, no matter which side comes out on top. If the liberal protest movement wins, the prevailing apartheid regime will be perceived as more legitimate. If Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir win, the situation will become even more deadly and dehumanizing for Palestinians.
For background on the conflict and the rise of the far right in #Israel:

If Trump becomes president again, he can carry out plans to purge the government of non-loyalists, and install another attorney general who acts more like Trump’s lawyer than America’s top law enforcement official. https://www.thebulwark.com/trump-and-the-violence-next-time/
RED STAIN ON AMERICA

How many people must die before red handed Republicans stop taking the lobbyist's money and stop blocking sane gun control measures?

Bibi just postponed eviscerating Israel's independent judiciary. He and his coalition remain the greatest threat Israel faces. The US must use stronger leverage to get them to end permanently their attacks on Israeli democracy. My latest. https://www.thedailybeast.com/biden-should-consider-helping-israelby-withholding-aid
FROST FREEZE: America’s youngest congressman challenges GOP on gun reform https://occupydemocrats.com/2023/03/27/congressman-frost/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
Republicans who stonewall gun legislation, gun manufacturers who lobby them, outlets who sell them... willingly tagging right along.
Let's call them what they are. Murderers.
They promote tools to murder. They continue to promote them when murders happen.
They are murderers.
Democrats get only a touch more sympathy from me. They should be breaking internal policy to pass legislation to protect people from this, yet they go merrily along with the "bipartisan" argument while these mass shootings continue to happen.
If they keep this up, I will move up my accusations to complicity.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
