Today's reminder that the Murdoch family's Fox "News" relentlessly injects poison into our civic bloodstream, for power and money:

Also a reminder that if you subscribe to cable/satellite TV or online equivalent, you are sending money each month to this evil company.
Please stop sending money to this evil company.
On April 9, 1865, the Confederate army surrendered to the Union.
During their retreat, the Confederates burned down their own capital, the city of Richmond, VA - my current home. They burned 90% of the business district, all the warehouses and goods. The citizens were left destitute and homeless.
I need you to remember this when you're fighting white supremacy: these people will turn on everyone else to save themselves. They're cowards who believe in nothing but their own self interests.
The 2 Arizona Supreme Court justices up for reelection are Clint Bolick & Kathryn Hackett King, both appointees of former #GOP #AzGov Doug Ducey, who expanded the court & loosened constraints on appointment to shift it rightward.

Don't sleep on this: *2* state justices who just voted to make all abortion illegal in Arizona are on the ballot this year.

“Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson yesterday issued a statement debunking claims of widespread voter fraud that were amplified by X owner Elon Musk on the social network formerly named Twitter. Election officials in two other states also disputed the ‘extremely false’ information shared by Musk.”
The day after Donald Trump was rallying his fash trash followers by calling immigrants animals, the Edgelord Messiah is amplifying disinformation again.
Around voter fraud. Which Republicans are getting caught and convicted for.
If you are still on X, you are a collaborator, helping Trump to victory.
Leave.
On the plus side, New York starts in 5 days...you can count it on your toes...
This little piggy filed a frivolous motion...denied.
This little piggy went to the court of appeals...denied
This little piggy begged for a stay...denied
This little piggy violated a gag order...
And this little piggy went wee-wee-wee all the way to jail.
The reason Twitter was worth $44B to Elon and his cronies is because they needed to control the means of communication, and close down that avenue for organising.
Organising on pretty much everything that they are against, whether it's proper pandemic response and preparedness, women's rights, Black Lives Matter, climate change, LGBTQI+ rights, and so forth.
They bought the megaphone, and then gave it back to the long list of nazis whose accounts they restored.
It was an attack, a coup, and anyone who remains there makes it harder to rebuild and reorganise elsewhere.
It is enemy territory now.
LEAVE.

"It takes quite an ego to tell pro-lifers that your re-election is paramount and that the fate of unborn children is a distraction. But that’s the kind of guy Trump is. ...
He doesn’t really care about abortion. He doesn’t value babies any more than he values women. He’s a danger not just to one party or one group but to everyone, because there’s no one he won’t betray."

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A 56 yo survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

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.
