"Hunter Biden's Laptop" is the new "Hillary Clinton's emails" -- just saying the words is supported to gin up suspicion and distrust, whether there's any merit to it or not. I'm so over this crap...

I often wonder what he would think about the state of our politics today. I think ir would make him sad...
Some #FridayFeelings about #politicaldiscourse and #twittermigration.
Some of you may be old enough to remember former Bush Press Secretary Tony Snow. Tony was my big brother, and kind of my hero growing up. Tony's superpower was his ability to disagree with another person's political POV without making it personal, without turning that person into an enemy. It was something I admired about him. We didn't agree on much politically, but that didn't matter.

In my 30 years of practice I have never seen it so bad this early in the #respiratory season. Lots of #influenza, #RSV, #COVID being spread around.
Leah McElrathWhat we’re seeing with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes is the beginnings of what could become a multi-racial Christianist coalition organized around antisemitism.
While we might want to dismiss what we’re seeing as “crazy,” I suggest we take it seriously and monitor it closely.
As we saw with Trumpism, people—by which I mean human beings regardless of political views—are drawn to spectacle.
What’s happening is very, very dangerous.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.My twitter followers are jumping ship. My engagement is dropping rapidly. They changed the algorithm to force feed me right wing accounts. And white supremacy, Islamophobia, & antisemitism on Twitter are being defended as valid points of view.
By contrast this Mastodon community is igniting robust dialogue, respectful disagreement, and offers little comfort to racists and bigots.
This is what Twitter could’ve been, and I’m really hopeful this is what Mastodon continues to be. Thank you all.❤️✊🏽
