micahThe stop cop city movement that is being demonized by media and politicians also includes Atlanta pre-schoolers, who marched last year with banners like these: “I love you trees” “Stop never cut down the trees” #StopCopCity

Qasim Rashid, Esq.In Texas an Sri Lanken-American named Rajan Moonsinghe got a gun to protect his home. Suspecting a burglar he stood on his front porch. Cops arrived unannounced & shot him dead in less than 1 sec. And the NRA is silent. This is a trend.
Before Rajan, when cops killed Tamir Rice for a toy gun in an open carry state—NRA was 🤐. When cops killed legal gun owner Philando Castille, NRA was 🤐. But when Rittenhouse killed 2 people, NRA called him " a warrior for gun owners!”

Chema Hernández GilContinuing my speculation as to what #corporate presence in the #fediverse could look like:
Beyond a #federation toll, I think instances could institute profit sharing with their users. This would turn instances into quasi-consumer unions, benefiting from collective bargaining power over the advertising users are exposed to.
The flip side is that companies will also want to leverage collective bargaining so they will consolidate into a few instances. Respective admins would negotiate on behalf of users and companies and reach a toll agreement that could then be approved by users.
Big companies that refused to cooperate or resorted to guerrilla advertising would end up blocked and their instances could end up fediblocked.

@jrm4 If growth continues like this, I think it's inevitable that companies will join. They go where the consumers are. But power dynamics have shifted. Coke's or Amazon's instance could and would...
Not gonna lie, I’m just looking for twitter without the surveillance capitalism.
@jhamby @economics @chanda there is no “real world” or “general internet” apart from things created by people. I thought this particular thing was supposed to have a liberatory intent. Seems like in this case, that’s wrong. Sad!
Ticia VerveerA new study suggests that small branding irons from ancient Egypt were likely used to mark the skin of enslaved persons. The branding irons (made of bronze) are thought to date roughly to the 19th dynasty (c. 1292 BC) until the 25th dynasty (c. 656 BC).
