Sean Jones KCThe stock response to a suggestion that we might want to consider applying to rejoin the EU is that we should not look back but forward. But I *am* looking forward. Rejoining is a thing I want to happen as part of our future. It’s not nostalgia that makes it attractive, but what it would mean for the future of our country and our children. #Brexit #EU #Rejoin

🏳️🌈🖖🏽I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.
An attack upon our community anywhere is an attack upon us all everywhere. My heart is with the victims and their families.

So if you’re new here… hi! 👋
Aral BalkanI’m beginning to see quite a few “this is a positive space, there is no place for negativity here” style posts (especially by newer folks) so I want to hopefully clear something up:
This is also a space to be protected. From fascists, bigots, etc., and also from corporate capture (unless you want to watch it turn into what the greater web turned into. Some of us lived through that once. Would be nice not to again.) Opposing such things—and vocally if need be—is not a negative; it is a positive.
Robert ReichThe CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.
Sarah MurphyMr Integrity, Professionalism and Accountability Sunak has decreed that his ministers should no longer do the morning media round. Unless they have a big announcement. So, either he’s aware his cabinet is an array of glaring liabilities that shouldn’t really be allowed out or he can’t defend his policies. Or both. So that’s all tremendous.
Sharonbw stands with MinnesotaI joined mastadon on 11/5, and this is hands down the best advice I have seen for new folks. Just welcoming or complimenting people who are new lets them know that there is a gentler, more respectful way of engaging here.
