fun fact: through incentivizing my customers to use checks and e-check payment, i have diverted nearly $1000 in credit card fees over the last few months to this amazing all volunteer non profit in my town with the mission to "provide connection of basic needs for people experiencing housing insecurity while educating the community on the importance of housing first and preventing homelessness in Petersburg."

#Mastodon hat in Deutschland den Gemeinnützigkeitsstatus vom Finanzamt aberkannt bekommen und hat dann einfach prompt ne 501(c)(3) in den USA gegründet. Das #Gemeinnützigkeitsrecht in Deutschland lässt soviel zu wünschen übrig, dass es nicht mal in den wenigen Fällen funktioniert, in denen dieses Land ausnahmsweise mal weltweit führend ist mit einem Projekt zum digitalen Gemeinwohl. Es ist doch zum Verzweifeln.

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of protesters are shutting down the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and blocking DC traffic to demand an end to the attacks on journalists in Palestine and media complicity in genocide, and a permanent ceasefire now!

Instead of illuminating the truth and standing up for their colleagues in Gaza, Western media has become the mouthpiece of the homicidal Israeli regime, promoting dehumanizing Zionist propaganda while ignoring, downplaying, and underreporting Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians.

Biased reporting undermines the urgent need for ceasefire NOW. Media must end its complicity in genocide and stop whitewashing President Biden’s crimes!

Most BLM protesters were white people advocating for Black civil rights.♥️ All their lives, they thought that they had the 1st amendment right to protest, because they had seen white supremacists march without being beaten by cops. They didn't realize that the right to free speech depends heavily on what you are speaking about, and who you are speaking for.

Now I'm seeing college professors and students learn the same lesson about what US cops will do to you if you speak up for the wrong thing.
