I conducted a test based on the list. I ticked each and every category I fall under and apparently I'm going to hell 11 times 🤣

I remember this church song that goes "And they'll know we are Christians by our love". The Christian right extremists just made a mockery of that phrase. I guess that went out the window a long time ago too!

@AlliFlowers @flexghost I grew up in Baptist church that was anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic and now too many are rightwing fascists who have further degraded their “church.”

The 19th Century cholera outbreak in London was solved by public, not individual, action. Almost no one believed Dr. John Snow, an obstetrician, who said the Broad Street pump was the source of the disease. But, town officials decided to take the handle off the pump, making it impossible to draw water. Had they instead asked everyone to live with cholera and take individual action only if they cared to do so, thousands more would've perished.

#Twitter has banned #Movetodon from the API, so it no longer works.

Fedifinder still works, so that's an option at least for a little while.

AOC on removing Omar from committee assignments:

“Don't tell me that this is about a condemnation of antiSemitic remarks when you have a member of the Republican caucus who has talked about Jewish space lasers and also elevated her to some of the highest committee assignments in this body…

This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America.”

✅ Someone tell me how antisemitic Republicans are also pro Zionist ?! ✅

I am so thankful to be on #Medicare. I receive expensive immunotherapy & because it's an approved therapy for a diagnosis I have, Medicare just approves it, no fuss no muss.

A private insurer would make life miserable for me. This story of a family that sued United Healthcare is a rare glimpse inside the dirty workings of an insurer. Nice work, @ProPublica

Republicans are trying to use the legitimacy of the House to veil their bigotry. But the internet exists, and their documented racism toward Ilhan Omar is available for all to see.

Education can empower women and girls against various forms of oppression, injustice, and misogyny.

With the Taliban’s education ban, this form of empowerment is attacked. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

@KimPerales the hysteria over the debt and deficits when there’s a Democratic President, and the lack of concern when there’s a Republican, gives the game away. Republicans love to spend money, just on things that benefit the wealthy and connected.

"Hunter Biden’s lawyers, in a newly aggressive strategy, sent a series of blistering letters Wednesday to state and federal prosecutors urging criminal investigations into those who accessed and disseminated his personal data — and sent a separate letter threatening Fox News host Tucker Carlson with a defamation lawsuit."
