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.

The fascism has funding. Lots of it.
Democracies continue to underestimate how badly the fossil fuel industry & the rich want to retain control

“Republicans are allowing ICE to shoot women in the face and call them a “fucking bitch” while denying them medical attention, but they want us to believe that a trans woman hitting a tennis ball too hard at her opponent is the greater threat to women and girls.”

Interview: "Meet the Man Making War Popular Again"
Peter Thiel's "Palantir CEO, Alex Karp, is one of the most dangerous men in the US."
Palantir, a company worth around $430 billion, has been described as: "A grave threat to Americans,” “The most dangerous corporation,” & “The world’s most evil company”.
What makes it so evil? Who is driving what agenda behind this notorious corporation?

Megalomanics can do nothing without corporate power.
Big Money was watching from at least 2016 to see how far Trump would be willing to go.
Many oligarchs switched from Dems to Trump in 2024 after making a deal (incl Vance as VP).
Heritage had spent 8 yrs finalising project24. They'd already employed 1000s of magas for the new monarchy.
Fascism can't happen without a vast support network.

French President Emmanuel Macron has had it with Trump's games and tells him to put a sock in it.

For everyone in the EU goes rightly outraged over the bullshit President Trump is fulminating just about anywhere he takes a fancy to, I would like to say the more you and your politicians the more you openly state that the US has given up superpower status and therefore its relevance to your national interest, the better.
Make it clear to corporations and finance. We are not dealing with legitimate government. A party that represents billionaires has subverted constitutional order.

I am not resting easy yet.
A bunch of people who are basically straight-up Nazis just got humiliated. They’re hurting, they’re angry, and they’re in my city.
And they’re pants-on-head dumbshits. (One of their posters bemoaned the “erogion [sic] of our rights.”) That’s not a comfort: sometimes that’s the most dangerous kind of right-winger. Their utter amateurishness means they have no sense of constraints and no sense of consequences. I don’t know what they’ll try to do next.
We remain wary and •highly• watchful. But I’m going to take the win on this round.

“Given the devotion of Trump’s cult in Congress, there’s no way an impeachment effort will end with the removal of the president.
Do it anyway. The rule of law is meaningless if you only take it up when it’s easy.”
