Halifax NS is looking for citizen input on social media.

They're thinking of dropping X/Twitter and shifting to BlueSky.

This is your chance to affect some change. Tell them Mastodon is where you want them. No oligarchs putting their thumbs on the scale, it's been here for years and is stable, no corporate enshitification cycle.

Tell them if they have to go BlueSky, bridge the muni account to Mastodon and the Fediverse.

Read ‘em and weep.

The image to the Beast.

Scary stuff. There was a huge Nazi sympathizer contingent in the US before WW II, even in the State Department. It’s never really gone away.

We’re seeing its resurgence. 😳

Top contributors in aid for Ukraine/person:

Denmark: 1850€/person
Norway: 1520€/person
Estonia: 900€/person
Netherlands: 744€/person
Finland: 700€/person

Then way down the list is USA which is bankrupting it’s people by committing 196€/person, and they need their money back so bad, they’re ready to lose all their allies over it!

America, fuck yeah!

CBO Report: To achieve budget goals, GOP must cut Medicare or Medicaid

What are those goals?
-$4.5T in tax cuts for 800 billionaires & a few hundred billion dollar corps, many of whom only currently pay less than 5% tax

That's it. That's the GOP goal. Steal from the poor to fund their rich donors.

South Africa on Friday rejected a claim by multibillionaire Elon Musk that his Starlink satellite company could not operate in the country because he is not Black, and its telecoms regulator said Starlink had not applied for a license. https://www.yahoo.com/news/south-africa-rejects-musk-claim-171020864.html

Wall Street Journal board accuses Donald Trump of misusing law for tariffs , calls for lawsuit to block him

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5184045-wall-street-journal-donald-trump-tariffs/

In a complete reversal of National alliance and economic dogma, #Trump and #Republicans behavior appears to be now fully aligned with #Russia and #China.
If #Democrats fail to rebalance the US government in #election2026 then US Democracy is forever changed into a corporate oligarchy.
The remaining nations not aligned to Russia and China should join forces, make stronger alliances without the US to defend against the rise of the #Communist nations.

These “Trump betrayed me” videos are something else. The excuses people told themselves about why they were voting for fascism over democracy are really something.

Just be honest with yourself and admit that you just didn’t want to vote for a qualified Black woman, and so you didn’t.

"2 Days Of Clashes And Revenge Killings In Syria Leave More Than 1,000 People Dead"

A preview of #USA future. If #MAGAmoron elevates himself to king, the sane will revolt. If MAGAmoron is overthrown, this is how his rabid sycophants will react. Either way, the US is in for a world of hurt.

@zeri The UK should also send the USA a bill for providing two aircraft carriers to supplement the US Navy carrier force, and four extra Trident boats to pad out the Ohio class (numbers limited by treaty). Also bill Trump for all the tax he's been evading by means of his Turnberry golf course and other assets.

Mr Vance,

So sorry your child was threatened by protestors.

Almost as scary as being in Ukraine dodging missiles. Right?

Another Trump voter “finds out” what he voted for.

"I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, 'Do you believe him?'"

"I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be the things, you know, like... just go against criminals, not every Hispanic looking, like, that they will assume that we are all illegals," Machado said.
