@amaditalks Sweeping generalizations are overused. Users of social media need to stop using words like “always” and “never.” It’s rarely one or the other. And rarely all <fill in the blank> people. @TomSwirly @jik

My guess would be the guy who installed solar panels on the White House instead of the one who took them down.

To the GOP MAGAts coming down on Hunter Biden’s plea deal…
Sometimes when you admit to fucking up and take a plea, it works out better than denying everything and attacking everyone who tries to enforce the law.
@amaditalks I wouldn’t go that far, and if all churches are taxed, that would still be a good thing. @jik
@TomSwirly The world has become nonbinary, and people still want to see it in black and white with not even a shade of grey.

@jik @AlliFlowers @amaditalks No, the takeaway, "Nothing will ever change, you must choose between two right wing, pro-war, pro-fossil fuel, pro-big business parties, and if you don't choose the slightly less awful one, then you are a bad person," is so demoralizing that people simply want to change the subject, and talk about small areas where some progress might be possible.
@jik Definitely not the key point, but an easy thing to address and slow them down. @amaditalks
I can’t wait to find out who gave Santos money.

#Tuckems is using his huge platform to attack #HunterBiden today I see.
I'm glad that Matt Gertz of Media Matters reminded me that Tucker Carlson and his wife asked their friend Hunter Biden to write their son a recommendation for Georgetown University. When he agreed to do so, his wife emailed him, "Tucker and I have the greatest respect and admiration for you. Always!”

The Manhattan DA's office issued a subpoena to #EJeanCarroll's law firm seeking #Trump's deposition, particularly his comments on the Access Hollywood tape.
The DA defends the subpoena against Trump's motion to quash here.
Some portions of Trump's deposition pertaining to the Access Hollywood tape are now public, but the DA seeks the "full transcript, full video recording, and all exhibits related to the videotaped deposition."

@amaditalks Maybe they should be taxed on money they make from renting their space out to non-church functions.
One of the things I like best about using social media like Mastodon, is you never really know the sex, gender identity, or ages of those with whom you interact.
@amaditalks That’s a sign that it’s time to start taxing churches.

The right out-organized us by more than three decades. At the end of the 1980s they were holding trainings in church basements with the Christian Coalition, teaching people how to build what is the openly fascist Republican Party of 2023, using coded Christian language and appeals to white grievance to win seats on suburban school boards & town councils and from there, county level then state legislature seats, bypassing cities, then gerrymandering them to destroy their electoral power.
@clbear31 I was 10 when I saw this. That bedroom scene prompted me to ask (quite loudly) “Mummy, are they going to make a baby?”

Georgia SoS Brad Raffensperger announces closure of investigation into allegations ballots were removed from suitcases in Atlanta in 2020, saying there's no evidence of wrongdoing. Full report: https://sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/SEB2020-059%20ROI%20redacted.pdf
@juddlegum Probably because there are so many mass shootings these days, individual targets are already dead. @stargazersmith

Electoral politics in the US right now is about choose your opponent, not choose your player. We lost our opportunity to play choose your player via poor ballot design in South Florida and a compromised SCOTUS.
Right now you have only ONE job in the voting booth: choosing the candidate with an actual chance of winning who isn’t going to worsen the climate catastrophe, destroy public education, abolish unions, destroy LGBTQ lives and arm every Nazi in the country.
It’s not a hard choice.
