@Huntn00 @breadandcircuses even a couple of million is too many to work together. Cooperative communities tend to scale to about 150 before breaking down, it's human nature. Best policy is to live and let live.
@bigfishrunning @breadandcircuses So the issue is people, not so much the economic system? That is unless in a survival mode where it is drastically apparant the need for cooperation. Would you agree? Other wise, it seems to be every tribe for itself, if lucky enough to achieve that… I’ll project a hypothetical that when we are knocked down to a couple million people left on the globe, we might find it within us to start working together. But by then we might just be along for the ride. 🤔

@seachanger I may have missed who this is directed at but I’ll take a stab. How do “no change” traditionalists if Republican, reconcile bad boy Donny Trump diving towards the rocks with nooses dragging them over the edge? 🤔

I have zero patience for “no change” traditionalists in this space. the one thing standing between us and a whole lotta hurt is people practicing fact checking, professional thoughtfulness, and journalistic rigor at scale and everywhere.
yes we need to be able to text search public posts, quote toot, and increase ease for users. sorry there is no room for viewing fedi as your private hobby, the world needs fedi to work well for journalists and organizers
@MSNBC Manchin= @DINO, He can’t even be called a secret operative, he’s so far out in the open castrating every liberal effort when he can. 🤔

Rant.
The more women assert their independence and strength, the bigger the pushback. It's always been that way. We are criticized more and more harshly for things that men are excused and praised for. We break barriers, and the pushback is often personal and cruel, even from our own families. You know what? That makes me just want to push back more. Call me too old, too independent, too whatever. I don't care. I'll be 100 and still feel this way. Enough already.
Thanks for listening. Carry on
@mastodonmigration I’m ignorant, is #Meta willing to give up control acting like an open access non-profit, or are they thinking about joining the Federated Network, but keep their portion controlled and profitable?

#Threads is not federating with #Mastodon. Not anytime soon, maybe not ever.
In case you missed the #Meta inside information from the Verge's Alex Heath: "Re: ActivityPub integration, it's still a priority for Threads but a "long" way out."(https://mastodon.social/@alexeheath/110713788758597963)
This whole federating with Threads thing has never made any sense and now we see it is very likely they have just been playing us the whole time. Let's stop falling for this nonsense and get back to building great open social media.

From 1940s-1980, the wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax rates. Zero of them went broke from taxation. Zero of them left the USA. All remained exceedingly wealthy, manufacturing boomed, AND we had the strongest middle class growth in US History.
Let's do that again. #TaxTheRich

“There is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately…COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”
Conspiracy theorists go from 0 to blame Jews in a nanosecond
If you’re a journalist writing another story on why RFK Jr isn’t getting enough press coverage then I need you to get up, find a brick wall, and walk into it at full speed.

Passing the PACT Act was a major step in making sure that we leave no veteran behind.
I urge all veterans to take advantage of the law's benefits: enroll in VA health care, get screened for toxic exposure, and file your claim.
