Steven: Here's a patch worn by a military veteran with #Veterans for Equality, who decided he wanted to show up for #LGBTQ+ rights today in opposition to the extremist militia protesting the #drag show here in #SanAntonio, Texas.

Over on #birdsite, our Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti is livetweeting from the Aztec Theater in #SanAntonio, where people have gathered to protect a #drag show from members of This Is Texas Freedom Force, a far-right militia hate group, and other bigots: https://nitter.net/stevanzetti

Steven reports supporters of #LGBTQ+ folks far outnumber the opposition.

People on the other site keep telling me that Mastodon is just an echo chamber... which... is not at all how I'm experiencing it. Lots of people seem willing to disagree with me and make their disagreements clear.

They just don't suggest that I don't deserve to live when they do. And that seems healthier.

Dear white people:

Whenever you see someone who is #BIPOC speak up about the lack of #diversity on Mastodon... You don't need to give your opinion, you don't need to correct them about their own experience, you don't need to highlight the wonders of the fediverse. Just don't.

Instead, please listen to what they say, and remember that reach here is mediated by boosts, so instead of telling them to invite more people over—or to become Mastodon leaders of their community...

... Just boost them

Make a conscious effort to follow people who are #BIPOC and boost their posts.

Boost posts by non-white marginalized communities so you can help their voices reach farther.

Yuriy Husak from Dubno killed defending Ukraine in Bakhmut on December 6. Buried in Dubno today. The whole city came to honor the memory of the fallen soldier.

Term limits for all people in any elected or non elected policy making position - you know… to prevent any single person from gaining too much power.
Wealth caps - you know… to prevent any single person from gaining too much power. Let’s start ridiculously high at $1B in total assets and $10M per month income.
Aren’t these two concepts the same, and neither of them would be “anti-democracy” or “anti-capitalism”.
Can anyone think of a reason why we shouldn’t do this?

Increasingly, I believe that the destruction of Musk's Twitter is crucial for the preservation of American democracy. I was neutral on this until the past few days. But it's now obvious that his intentions -- and actions -- are aimed in part at promoting right-wing extremism.

The Murdoch family is still the greater threat, but Musk looks set to supersede them as a force for evil.

This. First is a letter by a little girl named Madeline.

Why do we allow unhoused, mentally ill, drug addicted people to refuse shelter so they can have the freedom to slam seriously bad drugs on sidewalks and then terrorize people with no plan or solution to do something about it? I’m truly just asking a question as to why we are asked to be ok with this. #homeless #homelessness #drugs #drugaddiction #fentanyl
