@othmar @Gargron definitely not linking to the awful monetization site.
What's the mastodon equivalent of YouTube?
I thought that was the point of this, to find alternatives to shitty companies like Google.
You're redirecting right back into the shit
@Gargron get outta here with this YouTube shit.
I want something to read, not Volkshalle donor brainrot

Republicans in the Senate, with one exception, just voted to fund concentration camps and unaccountable squads of out-of-control ICE agents, while continuing to defund hospitals and schools.

Ask yourselves — does closing hospitals to fund concentration camps align with your values?

If, at the end of this dark era, we actually have a Democratic president again, there is one thing they absolutely must take to heart:

F*ck forgiveness.

Our country will only unite behind criminal prosecution and prison sentences, before eventually, slowly, beginning to heal.

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims.

Let me be clear, any politician running for President in 2028 who does not champion universal healthcare is automatically a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell with your ill gotten wealth.

@heidilifeldman meaningless. Pentagon and Trump will keep doing what they want with impunity and the Iranians will keep him bent over a barrel
@heidilifeldman @blogdiva It will only be “stunning” if it is enforced. I have yet to hear what Congress can/will do when Trump ignores them.
@benroyce @wilbr @jairajdevadiga @idlebrain I argue that propaganda doesn’t have to be a lie to be propaganda. I am reminded of my time in China - the news there only covered accomplishments and successes in China and only covered problems and failures from western countries. None of it was a lie. But it was definitely propaganda. That is what we are seeing a lot of here. Plus, it’s often challenging to determine what is true or not without an army of fact checkers at our disposal.
The amount of propaganda bots trying to sign up lately is bonkers. The fediverse feels like it’s becoming a battleground for information warfare. Be safe out there
