John AravosisIt’s time we reminded everyone that since Reagan it’s been Democrats who have consistently gotten the deficit under control, and it’s been Republicans who EVERY SINGLE TIME blew those savings on a tax cut for the rich, blowing up the deficit yet again.

Augie RayImagine if we relied on “personal responsibility” instead of the law to combat other public health issues like drunk driving. No rules--just “you do you”. If you're comfortable driving drunk and wish to take the risk, go ahead and do it--why worry yourself with harming anyone else?
Wait, that doesn't work? Then why do maskless conferences, flights, and events work at a time when we know #COVID19 risks are rising. Don't take personal responsibility; take public responsibility. #WearAMask
mtswReporters will continue reporting straight-faced that the GOP's top concern is "the deficit" even as their openly-stated #1 top policy demand is to add $100B to deficit by cutting IRS enforcement.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Last night on Christmas Eve TX Gov Abbot sent asylum seekers to DC with no winter clothes or shelter. What "Christ like" behavior.
If only the Bible had a story of a mother fleeing tyranny w/her infant for refuge in a foreign land—maybe GOP would welcome refugees fleeing tyranny w/their kids for refuge in USA. Amazing how the same GOP extremists who demand the Constitution be based on the Bible, suddenly forget ever Biblical principle about serving humanity.
The dangerous hypocrisy of it all.

WOW! I got to 50,000 here and SO fast. As promised, now I will get a Mastodon tattoo on my left butt cheek. I will make an appointment tomorrow. Note that when I post the image, I WILL use the content warning feature.
It’s now been a whole week since I decided to delete Twitter from my phone. What I have found is that everything I got from Twitter I can find in other places, some here on Mastodon, some on Hive, and a lot on Reddit. Nothing seems to have fully captured the same strange space of it, though I can’t say I really miss it.
Jelani CobbThe arguments for remaining on twitter to “fight” remind me of the gambling adage that the house always wins. “Fighting” there is like gambling and thinking you’ll eventually beat the house. But even if you win $10,000 at the slot machine it’s because it’s in the casino’s bigger interests to give you $10,000.
A viral post from a progressive helps prop up an increasingly reactionary company. @jeffjarvis
George Takei Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.
So it’s going well, right?
