@RickiTarr @rightsprung When younger, I considered myself #Libertarian. When I left my environment and traveled, I came to understand it was a #Euphemism for #SelfishMotherFucker. I then considered myself #Republican--because I don't believe money solves problems and action is key. I became a #Democrat when #TrentLott opened his #BigotMouth and nudged the GOP further into #BigotWorld, because I am not a #Bigot. I have traveled the spectrum and continuum.
Everyone share everywhere:
@_elena 's primer on the #fediverse #mastodon
In an ideal world everyone would leave the lying, spying, manipulating #bigot's playground that is #centralized #corporate #socialMedia
so let us get the word out and make it happen!
#Alito invoked several hypotheticals of what he called “progressive” #schools setting their own #curriculum, including being “an #LGBTQ+ friendly school” w/ #books that present #SameSex couples as “a perfectly legitimate lifestyle,” [#bigot] or teaching #history from the standpoint of #Project1619, which sought to reframe how the #UnitedStates talks about #slavery. [this fuckin guy]
What a shitty human being.
In her (only positive defence) she is reported to pay her taxes and not hide earning overseas - but that all appears to be self reported so we shall see.

Just imagine if the current #bigot-#plutocrat regime of the #USA had the backbone of tiny #Georgia
maybe Georgia has the backbone it does because they understand the government of #Russia
so i guess the USA has to learn what Georgia knows already
the hard way
because the USA is ruled by morons
"Georgia Rejects Russian Proposal to Restore Diplomatic Ties"
I try to accentuate the positive. That's been hard lately
This is a reach, but bear with me:

These folks aren't necessarily #left leaning
But now they are on the outside, with us
Not just ex-#Pentagon, but from all over the #US #government
They have a grudge against the #bigot-#moron-#plutocrat #coup
Smart people who know things
Some of them may even be on #Mastodon
I say to them: "welcome"
Lets do something about it
@gooba42 @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Chancerubbage @callisto @limneticvillains
i don't even try
sometimes the "crime" of the artist is overblown empty #socialMedia outrage and i just roll my eyes and enjoy their work immensely
but if the crime is real, and serious enough, fuck them. i can't watch them or read them. i'm done
#jKRowling is clearly solidly well established in "i'm a #bigot and i'm proud of it" mode
i will never look at or read her works, ever again
@inthehands @StillIRise1963 @tarheel
study the history of #chile, #southkorea, #spain
look at #serbia, #georgia, #hungary today
corrupt, murderous regimes, opposed
they fought! they're fighting!
what you about you #usa?
i will not listen to arguments saying #american #democracy is doomed:
hopelessness
cynicism
it only helps #plutocrat-#bigot malice
you fight
you #vote
now and forever
that matters
"but it should be easy"
never is and never will be
show a fucking spine
the problem is not that a demented #plutocrat should be full of #hate and stupidity. that's almost a given
the tragedy, which we really need to get a handle on, is why his moronic #bigotry and #ignorance appeals to so many
"lol! #bigotry is new to you?"
no it's not new. but how it is goosed on #socialMedia for power so brazenly in cahoots with #plutocracy is a new and terrible wrinkle
yes, the #bigot-plutocrat #political axis is also not new
but it is supercharged now
One of the side effects of the #gishGallop of endless hate and outrageous stupidity is that it obscures the abuses of yesterday, yet they continue, while outrage and attention shifts
Example:
the sadistic attack on #womensRights
"Two #Houston-area clinic employees arrested for allegedly providing illegal #abortion s"
We must confront the totality of the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis in the #USA and not be endlessly distracted
https://www.texastribune.org/2025/03/17/texas-abortion-midwife-arrested/
"Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website"
If you're #black and/ or a #woman, your sacrifices will never matter to #MAGA and their only reaction is to try to erase your history and ignore your existence.
The #bigot-#plutocrat #political axis
all of this #deportation processing is also insanely expensive
and for what?
taking people out of communities who are working and paying taxes they may not even receive any benefits from but everyone else is?
so even from a strictly selfish point of view, deportation is mindnumbingly stupid
it's nothing but pandering to ignorants and indecents self-destructively, but it "works" on that measure, because a #bigot doesn't know, doesn't care
"#Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income #Tax on $2 Billion of #US Income in 2024"
https://itep.org/tesla-reported-zero-federal-income-tax-in-2024/
this right here
the root of all of our problems
how a cringe #edgelord icon of #bigotry like #Musk can wield so much power and how our #democracy dies to #plutocracy
well, not the root of all of our problems
the #bigots matter too
by goosing #ignorance and #indecency the #plutocrats can pull con jobs on hateful dimwits to wield power
the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis
our enemy
The #Plutocrat-#Bigot #socialMedia axis takes race swapping characters in #movies seriously
Because it's a pipeline to #farRight #politics, weaponized fake outrage
And they get to engage in #racism and #hate
"#AyoEdebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon #Musk shared fake report about #PiratesoftheCaribbean casting
#TheBear #actor called Musk a #fascist and an idiot after his reaction to a post from a #rightWing account that claimed she was replacing Johnny Depp"
"Deep wisdom of the cosmos:
What is the purpose of the #USA in the world now?"
"Dear demoralized #Left #American:
The job of your country now is to serve as a horrifying and disgusting example to #democracies in the world about what to avoid: the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis"
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/05/trump-tariffs-canada-liberal-party
#BlackLivesMatter you #rapist #bigot #Trump
"#DC #mayor to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza amid pressure from #WhiteHouse
The two-block stretch of 16th Street NW, north of the White House, was designated as Black Lives Matter Plaza after #GeorgeFloyd was murdered in Minneapolis in 2020"
"Bad thing in another country horrifies, driving support for the opposite at home"
I think it helped in #Germany
I think it will help in #Canada
So the fate of the #USA is to be an example of what poor #gunControl, no #universalHealthcare, and what an unchecked #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis does to a motherfucker:
Sane observant #citizens in other #democracies can avoid our fate
"Anti-#Trump sentiment drives dramatic upturn in fortunes for Canada’s #Liberals"

Oh this is great!
The #ProudBoys owed $1 million to Metropolitan African #Methodist Episcopal Church in #WashingtonDC after the #bigot #fascists attacked the #historic #Black #church in 2020
They didn't pay
So the #courts just ruled that the church now *owns* their #trademark
An #AME church legally owns the term "Proud Boys" and all of their #merchandizing!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer #gang of #violent #racist assholes
