Its so depressing that really almost no one out there is masking at all and more than half of those that are seem to be old white people WEARING CLOTH MASKS.

@mathowie Almost 83,000 cases of AIDS were confirmed while Reagan was in the White House. Nearly 50,000 people died of the disease. Those numbers—those lives cut short—are a part of his legacy that can never be erased. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/04/full-story-nancy-reagan-and-aids-crisis/618552/

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Georgia’s highest court Tuesday upheld an election in which coastal residents voted overwhelmingly last year to block their county government from building a launchpad for blasting commercial rockets into space.

I swear I’ll take LinkedIn more seriously once I actually need its help with something. Until then, I’m going to keep using it as a text box to write dumb stuff.

There's a lot of tragedy out there in the world today. But maybe on a happier note, it's Charles Dickens' birthday. Hard to imagine life without his work. This is a sketch i did about 14 months ago. #tinytinysketch #rnapper #mastoArt

a reminder that simply reporting what someone says even if you know it is untrue or disingenuous ain't good journalism

senator x says the moon is made of cheese. nasa says that's untrue.

nope

framing like this played a significant role in how we ended up in a climate crisis

There’s another meme that has chaotic evil as “rips each page out after reading it”

In response to FL Gov. Ron DeSantis’s actions to limit the teaching of Black history in the state’s public schools, Chicago-based publisher Haymarket Books is offering multiple e-books by progressive Black authors for students to download free of charge. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMastodon

I find it dismaying how many of my attempts at conversation on a variety of topics so often turn into conversations about how so many people lack the skills and temperament necessary to have productive conversations.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week we’re going to take a personal look into my past to look at THE SIGNS THAT WERE ALWAYS THERE EVEN WHEN WE REFUSED TO SEE THEM. There’s no other way to say this than… this is gonna be embarrassing. For me.

@YouGiveMeFever
They won't. Here is what they will argue in 2024:
- Trans people are dangerous
- Liberal women kill babies
- CRT is racist indoctrination of elementary kids

Eagle eyes readers might notice that literally all of these are lies. Republicans don't have policy. They have lies. Bigoted, fascist lies, designed explicitly to hurt people for profit.

I'm continuously amazed that the left is somehow unaware of this. Anyone who thinks the right will debate policy in 2024 is fooling themselves.

Let the GOP presidential candidate argue with this in 2024:

@lolgop The fact that they keep letting these people come on TV or post their opinions without challenge is maddening. It's not "even-handed" to allow little Marco or Asa Hutchinson or some other lying shill onto your platform without challenging or calling out their lies.

FFS they are not the same. Claiming that a balloon is more of a threat to our nation than armed traitors shitting on the floor of the Captiot is insane.
