Trump says he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act hits his desk—and Democrats are threatening to block everything else to stop it.

If the SAVE Act becomes law it could block millions from voting. Mail-in, online, and drive-up registration gone. IDs no longer enough. Women, military, Native Americans all at risk. This isn’t voter ID—it’s voter suppression.

Watch this video to see who this bill harms most.

#PawFed is a project close to my heart. It's a collaborative map for animal welfare that bridges the #Fediverse and #OpenStreetMap.

The idea: mention @PawFed from your Mastodon account with hashtags and a location, and your report appears on the map. No signup, no app, just your existing Fediverse account.
It's not perfect yet, but the foundation is there. I will publish the source code soon under AGPL.

Federated platform to help animals through shelters and community

If instance admins allow AI Agents on their platform and they keep harassing us I have no other choice then to silence that instance

Again, I do not pay these massive costs each month to host robots

Let's keep the #Fediverse human shall we?

A sabre tooth cat whose jaws have evolved to the point it can no longer feed itself is soon just another dead cat.

A country - where rural hospitals are closing, healthcare costs skyrocket, and citizens struggle daily for groceries - somehow finds a billion dollars a day for a war of choice. When the bill from this war comes, Americans need to remember those who wrote it.

Trump's Iran War costs the U.S. $1.88 billion a day. At that rate, it will take less than 2 months to match the $109 billion sent to Ukraine over three years during the Biden admin. In only six days, the U.S. has already spent 10% of what it disbursed to Kyiv after Russia's Feb 2022 invasion.

FTA: "[I] would not go there on holiday now. Not when Donald Trump is running amok in the White House, attacking democracy both at home and abroad. And I would suggest no liberal-minded person should go and spend their dollars there if at all avoidable in order to show collective contempt for the country’s corrupt, destructive and hate-filled sociopath of a US President who despises Europe, loathes our values and loves our most despotic enemies."

No moral person should be setting foot in the US

Why would anyone want to reward Trump’s twisted vision of America
