I am just sick of being told we have to compromise when it comes to:
- Climate change
- Feeding children in poverty.
- Protecting the sick from bankruptcy.
- Investing in adult education for a skilled workforce.
- Increasing the value of labour so it returns more than the value of risk taking.

While trillions in subsidies are signed to Halliburton etc for some shareholder payday.

This is not the compromise I am interested in.

Please don't lump me in with "liberals".

@Hey_Beth

We had one guy saying he couldn't find any #MLB - and it was because he was on a small instance and he wasn't finding any posts even when he used the hashtags.

The groups get around this issue.

There are also methods of increasing your visibility using relays if you are on a small instance.

Fox News continues it's web of lies. They reported that the family of a fallen Marine in Afghanistan had to pay to have her body brought back to the United States. This was a lie. This life fundamentally undermines Marine protocol and philosophy. The Marines objected. Fox still didn't fix it. The Marines objected again and Fox deleted the story without comment. 1/2

Ukraine has become the largest minefield in the world because of the Russian invasion.

About 1/3 of the country - 174,000 square kilometers, is contaminated with all kinds of mines and munitions.

That's about as much as all the Baltic States put together.

The NAACP was RIGHT about Florida. STAY AWAY.

‘Moms’ Radical Attack on Public Education - Moms for Liberty is the tip of the spear aimed at public education. https://shepherdexpress.com/news/issue-of-the-month/moms-radical-attack-on-public-education/ #privatization

Instead of saying it was motivated by hate, perhaps we should say it was because of an irrational fear of anyone different from their own image.

The Civil War never ended; it has continued by other means since Booth assassinated Lincoln. What happened in #jacksonville was just another skirmish in that Civil War. The Confederacy is alive and well, and its leaders - DeSantis, Trump, Musk - use every means at their disposal to oppress anyone not a Christian white male. And they have created an army of lone gunmen who are ready to lay down their lives for this dark cause. There is a direct line from Booth to this Jacksonville Jackass.

We often think of #memes as popular photos, videos, or phrases online. 

But the term “meme” was coined by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins to describe a behavior, style or idea as a unit of culture that can spread or disappear. From social movements to religion to Grumpy Cat.

Even though most folks may not be aware of it, we’re sharing a popular concept from #science, every single day, across #socialmedia.

RACISM IN AMERICA!

Let me perfectly clear, Donald J. Trump and his cult of nogoodniks, racists, homophobes, bigots, and all around shitty, followers are responsible for stoking division and hatred in the US.

Our democracy is in a battle with itself.

My parents, in their 70s, tonight in Tel-Aviv protesting against the most disgusting government that Israel ever had.

@eniko Hospitals, doctors offices, pharmacies: masking up at places where sick or vulnerable people can be expected to gather should just be the norm. As should be masking up in general when you have any transmittable disease.

My late father-in-law was born in 1917. It took 3 more years, on this day, for his mother to be eligible to vote.

I was 4 yo when , on this day, MLK Jr & masses citizens marched on Washington.

This is not ancient history. The forces opposing women's & black equality still live.

The Florida shooter declared in several manifestos that he wanted to kill black people.

#Jacksonville shooting was racially motivated and shooter left a manifesto; directly targeting black people. The gun has a swastika on it.
