#1 priority for Congress & all elected officials should be the #ClimateEmergency. It's an existential threat already devastating parts of Brazil, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, China, Indonesia... The loss of lives & livelihoods is heartbreaking, but it's also causing loss of crops, livestock...: Flooding from a cyclone in S Brazil washed away houses, trapped motorists in several cities, killing ~40 ppl🚨 & leaving 2,300 homeless.
Please amplify the stories. #ActOnClimate

And, as has been pointed out, relative to some regions, that wait time isn’t even that bad:
“Children waiting up to five years for an NHS appointment following #autism referral”
@georgetakei I have no idea how Starlink would effect Ukraine’s operations, or why Musk would feel the need to shut it off, but the question is a valid one. Providing a service like this, the owner should not be able to turn it off at his whim. I woukd think there would be some level of Govt oversight. 🤔

The Daily Beast is reporting that Elon Musk ordered engineers to switch off his Starlink satellites just as Ukraine was preparing to attack the Russian naval fleet with drones. He said he feared nuclear retaliation by Russia. It’s high time we ask the question: How much power and influence does it make sense to hand just one person?

Today I learned that MILF does not mean “Mastodonian I’d Like to Follow” and excuse me while I go back and edit several dozen posts.

@WayneMoranPhotography As someone who lived in Minnesota for three decades I am envious as hell! 😇 …as compared to the relative hell I live in now, at least heat and politically oriented. 😓

@Melody I'm sick of all the talk of civil war. War is not civil and they think they could kill their neighbors. They think they have all the guns but Democrats have guns too.
@Melody@masto.ai What you see today is mostly a corrupt self-serving version of Christianity. You are right, they don’t repent and love, they don’t act like Jesus was reported to have acted. Instead they hate and want to poke you with their pitchforks if you don’t conform to their straight jacket views about this life. And they are utterly confused about the concept of freedom of religion. That does not mean Christianity gets to walk all over everyone else. It means live and let live. 🤔
@Litzz11 It’s that religious BS trying to lead us down the primrose path. Sure 10k years ago, the more the merrier. But how precious will human life be when we are like billions of bacteria eating Gaia up leaving nothing behind? 🤔

House Republicans want to kill a program that provides HIV/AIDS support to Africa because they think it encourages abortion.
The fetus-fetish crowd wants to kill a program that saved 25 million lives over 1 fetus.
It's not about life. It's never been about life. It's always been about control.

@KenExline And until we fall /fail because of the passel of jack asses, who have decided democracy is not what it is cracked up to be, the political lawless need to cool their heals in jail. This would include those overtly treasonous like #AgentOrange and his gang of anti-democrat losers who want to remake the Fed Gov in their corrupt images. 🤬

I'm a swing voter. In the sense that I vote "yes" for swinging.
