Trump's psychopathy is a societal problem with a societal cure.

Who or what is (Dr.) Bandy Lee talking about? https://dailyhowler.blogspot.com/2023/05/who-or-what-is-bandy-lee-talking-about.html

The US government isn't weaponized against conservatives.

It's weaponized against dictators.
It's weaponized against our enemies abroad.
It's weaponized against anyone who would overthrow the government.

When I was growing up, we called that PATRIOTISM.

BREAKING: Jim Jordan's "whistleblowers" got their federal security clearances REVOKED for refusing to perform their law enforcement duties by investigating January 6.

These aren't whistleblowers, they are insurrection sympathizers who have broken their oaths to America.

@Huntn00 @flexghost Fun fact: American intelligence services recruit heavily among Mormons because they are seen to have fewer issues with addiction, are patriotic and have strong family ties.

Let’s see how that works out for us!

“Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in #Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.” ⬇️⬇️ #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitterAllies #BlackMastodonAllies

There is nothing new under the sun.

“In the face of scientific opinion, and the overwhelming majority of his peers, Pravda declared Lysenko the winner of the argument. By 1939, after quite a few scientists had been imprisoned, shot or “disappeared”, including the director of the Lenin Institute, there was a vacancy to be filled. And the most powerful man in the country filled it with Trofim Lysenko. Lysenko was now Vavilov’s boss.” #politics #Politics #skeptoid

Public Notice

Lots of reports of crypto spam attacks coming in from multiple instances today.

Seems like the bad guys are getting kinda worried about Mastodon.

Instance admins are taking this very seriously and working hard to fend off the attacks.

What can you do? If you see a crypto scam post, don't engage with it. It's just a bot anyway. If you mute, block and report the post it will help administrators isolate the attacker account.

We got this!

@TonyStark Democrats clean their own house. Republicans make theirs dirtier and drag each other down with the rats.

@Pepper @TonyStark
Democrats believe in right and wrong.
Republicans believe in us and them.

CNN: “National Archives has informed #Trump that it is set to hand over to special counsel #JackSmith 16 records which show Trump and his top advisers had knowledge of the correct declassification process while he was president…” #Documents #MarALago https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/17/politics/trump-letter-archives-special-counsel-declassification/index.html

@Moms4Liberty@twitter.com 9. The Florida Department of Education recently expanded the prohibition on instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity to all grades but the rule doesn't go into effect until May 23.

@Moms4Liberty@twitter.com 6. The school has sided with Rodriguez, sending a note to 5th grade parents assuring them that "in the future" Strange World "will not be shown" because "parts of the story involves a male character having and expressing feelings for another male character."

@Moms4Liberty@twitter.com 5. At no point during the May 9 school board meeting did Rodriguez acknowledge she signed the permission slip.

Instead, she spend several minute berating Barbee, saying she had VICTIMIZED 5th grade students by showing them strange days
