If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

I unfollowed the weirdo journalist who disabled boosts on the fedi but wouldn't tell me why

she was on notifications too..

@GottaLaff Trump is rarely challenged in this way - esp in public. He's used to craven sycophants. So when faced with a man of Zelensky's fortitude - all he has is petulance and spite. One man grew in stature. The other - and his cheap little sidekick - were diminished by their entitled pique.
Just saw the headline "Elon Musk accused of making what appeared to be fascist salute" from CBC. Is mainstream journalism too cowardly to call a straight up, broad daylight nazi salute for what it is now? How can you still be in denial about it?

Dan Rather's wife Jean has passed away, and he shared the sad news via his newsletter Team Steady. In the newsletter, it says "In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders in Austin would be a wonderful way to remember her".

I think it is a beautiful way to honour the memory of a loved one.

Like Sen. Warren just said, contact your Democratic senators and urge them to confirm as many pro-democracy judges as possible before the GOP returns to power. https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-your-senators-fill-every-judicial-vacancy-now?source=mastodon&medium=directpost
Tell your Senators to fill every judicial vacancy NOW

Congress is reconvening for the final session of the year and Senate Democrats only have a few more weeks in the majority. With another Trump presidency and a Republican-controlled Senate looming, Democrats must make the most of this time and do everything in their power to safeguard our democracy and our rights. That’s why they must prioritize confirming pro-democracy judges in the final session. President Biden has nominated a slate of diverse, highly qualified candidates to federal judgeships. The Senate has confirmed over 200 of these judges, but there are 29 more nominations still pending - and that number could grow before Biden leaves office. Confirmations can be slow because there are a number of procedural hoops to jump through in the Senate - but with determination and long hours, Democrats can get this done. Federal judges serve for lifetime appointments, so it’s crucial that these positions are filled by candidates who are dedicated to upholding the Constitution and our democracy. And we know that if these seats are still vacant when he takes office, Trump will nominate judges that will further the MAGA agenda from the bench. Fill out this form right now with your information to send an email to your senators urging them to spend the final session confirming as many judges as possible before Republicans take control of the Senate. You can optionally add an additional personal comment to your message in the 'comments' box on the right. Your Message:

A reminder that women, children, and many men have been dealing with the "Your body, my choice" people this entire time.

They put it on a t-shirt and everyone lost their minds.

There is plenty of good advice going around about the big things so here is my small piece: If you’re going to be on social media in the next weeks and months and years, block and mute freely rather than getting into spats and squabbles. Preserve your energy for the work. Keep your powder dry.
