Calling it a gotcha that I "critique Biden policies after voting for him" is what's wrong with US politics today.
Voting for him doesn't mean I can't critique him—it's literally the best reason to be critical. It's called holding electeds accountable. It's how democracy works. And it’s how political parties work when they aren’t cults.
Walgreens really stepped in it big time.
“Governor Gavin Newsom tweeted Monday morning California won't be doing business with Walgreens after it announced it will not distribute abortion medication in 20 states.
Newsom went on to say that the state is done doing business with any company that ‘cowers to the extremists and puts women's lives at risk.‘”
"We're done." Newsom tweeted Monday morning that California will no longer be doing business with Walgreens after it announced it will not distribute abortion medication in 20 states.
He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
Today, the Scottish Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of protecting trans rights. It wasn't even close. The lawmakers of Scotland actually listened to medical experts, respected science, and refused to permit hateful propaganda to dictate control of vulnerable people. 🏴❤️
The IRS is an agency under the President's control
Under Trump, it was making decisions benefiting the President directly
Let’s say it was revealed Obama exempted himself from mandatory presidential audit the way Trump did:
Would republicans and the main stream media let it blow over the way they’re doing with Trump?
Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:
•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.
•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything
•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.
None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.
