We're defederating from newsie.social, because they're deliberately ('we don't silence 'different opinions') not moderating a transphobic user that's been reported from several instances and is actively harassing people.
We'll lift this suspension if newsie.social decide that maybe they shouldn't provide a platform for that kind of bigotry and that transphobia is not a 'difference in opinion'.

I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:
The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.
The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.
AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.
ok i generally don't reshare crossposts but this via @by_caballero gave me too much of a giggle...
BTW--yes, I am aware the date on the plot should actually read "Jan 11, 2023" (not 2022). It has been a...very long first 11 days of the new year. 🙃
Here's an amended version for anyone who wants to share:
