@lauren The GOP is obviously malicious, pushing these measures such as ban TikTok and the RESTRICT act. The Dems, however, are fucking downright incompetent.

@CliffWade Two other households are in our COVID bubble with us - all of us immunocompromised. We make NO exceptions - we have worn masks since March of 2020, whenever in public. We started with double masking with cloth and Vogmasks, then moved up to N95s covered with Vogmasks, and then to Flo Mask respirators. We do not go in public without masks, except for medical procedures that cannot be avoided. And then we isolate after exposure, and test before being around anyone else. None of us - 7 adults - have had COVID. Part of that is privilege, part is luck, but the largest portion is not making excuses. The reason we have only very rarely seen anyone in meatspace that isn’t in our bubble is because we can’t trust most of them. All those saying “we’re being safe” when we can see their photos of them in restaurants and bars and concerts, unmasked. Claims “we are very careful” but they post videos of them in an airport with their mask hanging off one ear while they eat and drink. When they ask why we still mask, our answers have varied, but come down to: Russian Roulette has never been our game. There is no single event worth catching Alzheimer’s, or heart damage, or a stroke, or diabetes, or CovidAIDS. Thanks anyway!

Wanna fight back against Fox News? This thread explains how they make their profits - it’s not ads, it’s fees - and they’re renegotiating that contract with several cable companies. Contact those companies and demand that they stop subsidizing hate on the backs of all the other channels! https://www.tumblr.com/wilwheaton/714790875549581312To take action: https://www.nofoxfee.com/

@ShekinahCanCook Not following the news is irresponsible at best, actively aiding the descent into fascism at worst. Obsessing about it though, is harmful. Put on your oxygen mask first, as always. Social media is life, is social contact, for a lot of folks. Esp the disabled, who are being deliberately excluded from meatspace by everyone refusing to mask and openly practicing eugenics. So anyone who recommends not being aware or not being online is actively playing for the fascists team - whether they realize it or not. What we need is balance. Social media is where we find the independent news folk, and it’s 100% appropriate to spend time here daily. But we also need breaks, and to log off and go touch grass, as it were. Participate in hobbies, talk to people one on one, etc. Find the middle path.

“Florida just voted to kidnap trans kids. Are you paying attention yet? SB254 is a bill that the Florida State Senate just voted on yesterday to allow them to remove trans kids that get gender affirming care from their parents.And when I say gender affirming care, I mean ANY care that's for trans kids. Because if it's breast augmentation or a nose job so that a girl can feel more like a girl, that's totally fine.We wouldn't want to mess with that.But if a girl feels like a boy, illegal! Illegal!Straight to jail!This is on the heels of that Don't Say Gay bill, which was "just to protect the children" until this week, when they moved it all the way up to 12th grade.And then they criminalized drag queens, making it a sex crime, and then they made it so sex crimes are punishable by death.And they made it so you only need 8 of the 12 jurors to convict someone to death in a trial.If you hear all that, and you can't do the very, very simple math to see that what they are attempting is legal genocide, then you are either a liar, or a fool. Which is it?!They are attempting to legally eradicate a group of people, which is also why they don't want books in schools. Because this is behavior that's been attempted before. You know what I'm referencing!I'm done listening to your excuses. It's never been about the kids. Yes this is fascism. If you don't see that, you're supporting it.Utah Senator Mike Lee... MIKE LEE is calling Desantis a fascist. Do you really wanna be a bigger fool than Mike Lee?!That guy's doing all this because he wants to run for President. He's not legally allowed to declare it yet, because Florida governors have to resign if they run for President, and he's not willing to lose his power before he gains even more.So he'll just change it. He'll just do whatever he wants, cause that's what fascists do.Little preview of what they'd like to bring to the United States: 6 week abortion ban across the board; you're not allowed to talk about LGBT issues up until 12th grade; you're not allowed issues up until 12th grade; you're not allowed to have trans kids; you're not allowed to dress the way you want in public; book bans across the board; and as an employer, you're not allowed to disagree with the government whatsoever, or they will directly attack you.This is not isolated to Florida. 31 of the states in our union are controlled by Republicans, and behind the scenes, they are attempting to get to the required amount to have a Constitutional Convention so they can do whatever they want, because then the Constitution won't be in their way anymore!You NEED to get involved! You need to start looking into who you're going to vote for in the next election, and you need to be more judicious about who it is you're voting for, because Republicans are now running on Democratic tickets, saying all the right things and then switching their votes.Do you really want the end of America to come from a guy who eats pudding with his fingers?!Come ON, America! We can do better than this!” - Pat Loller, US Veteran https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRTB6Jqo/

@Npars01 @damnkimberlee @BlueWall @FantasticalEconomics Honestly, if Millennials and GenZ show up, the GOP loses, gerrymandering or not. But when the Dems run center right candidates - or no candidates at all!!! - there's no hope of winning. And that's been the biggest problem in Ohio - the Dem party has fucking given up, and don't even run candidates for a lot of offices. It's infuriating.

Cops caught on tape admitting they’re using illegal terror campaign against activists trying to #StopCopCity. If you’re not in Georgia, this DOES affect you - they’re trying to build a complex meant to train YOUR cops, from jurisdictions across the country, in urban warfare against civilians. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRoTbjXQ/

Our neighbors are shooting off professional quality fireworks. They’re so loud they hurt my chest. I hate this. No one but actual licensed professionals should have access to this shit. Thank Holy FUCK it’s raining. These destructive dipshits are trying to set fire to the entire neighborhood. At least the dogs don’t care. But my nerves are fucking shot and I need to sleep.
