I had heard of it because the drag queen, Yvie Oddly (Ru Paul's Drag Race winner) has it and talked about it on the show.

Opinion | Palm Sunday Was a Protest, Not a Procession (Gift Article) Jesus’ procession was a parody of imperial power β€” a deliberate mockery of Roman spectacle and a prophetic enactment of a kingdom not built on violence but on justice.

Both of my state senators (Schumer and Gillibrand) are traitors! New York deserves better. They are a disgrace. And they will hear from us at the coming recess!

As with other social media, women get followed by random men with apparent bot accounts. I just blocked a couple of them.

A bold political graphic features Elon Musk and Donald Trump in black and white, positioned in front of the White House. Musk is making a Nazi salute, while Trump speaks with clenched fists. The phrase "NO KINGS." is displayed across the center in distressed typography, with "NO" in bright yellow and a small tilted crown on the "S" in "KINGS." The background has a torn-paper effect, and the bottom half of the image is deep blue, featuring the call to action: "Join us to fight back - indivisible.org" along with the Indivisible logo.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can rule this country like kings.

House Republicans think they can steal from working families to fund billionaire tax cuts.

They all think we'll sit back and let them get away with it.

They are dead wrong: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

(next to an image of Congress) HOUSE DEMOCRATS CAN STOP THE TRUMP-MUSK
POWER GRAB

IF THEY USE THEIR LEVERAGE IN THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING FIGHT

Democrats are in the minority, but that doesn't mean they're without power. Here's how Democrats can stop extreme MAGA cuts and President Musk.

(next to an image of Congress) HOUSE DEMOCRATS CAN STOP THE TRUMP-MUSK POWER GRAB IF THEY USE THEIR LEVERAGE IN THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING FIGHT Democrats are in the minority, but that doesn't mean they're without power. Here's how Democrats can stop extreme MAGA cuts and President Musk.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE LEVERAGE - IF THEY USE IT.

House Republicans are in chaos, torn between extreme cuts to life-saving programs like Medicaid and shutdown fears. With a March 14 deadline and control of both the White House and Congress, the GOP owns any shutdown failure.

Their majority is miniscule and as soon as the government funding bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. That means the GOP will need Democratic support to pass a budget.

Meanwhile, the Trump-Musk coup continues as MAGA tries to illegally raid payment systems, shut down federal agencies, and fire federal workers. The only way Democrats can stop any of this is by fighting like hell and refusing to cooperate.

DEMOCRATS’ NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMANDS

PROTECT ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS
Demand a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families, or Trump's team will slash essential programs and funnel cash to allies.

STOP MAGA CORRUPTION
Block any budget without strong protections against Trump and MAGA abuse. Without safeguards, Trump and his allies will divert funds while cutting essential programs. No cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, or food assistance-no loopholes, no empty promises.

NO EXTREMIST RIDERS
Hold the line on a clean government funding bill-no funding cuts to critical programs and no poison pill riders attacking abortion rights, LGBTQ+ protections, or immigrant communities.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP DEMOCRATS FIGHT BACK

Whether your representative is a Democrat or a Republican, they need to hear from you right now.

IF YOU'RE REPRESENTED BY A DEMOCRAT
Ask them to hold the line. Democrats shouldn't vote for anything more than a two-week continuing resolution until the GOP comes to the table to negotiate a responsible budget with safeguards.

IF YOU'RE REPRESENTED BY A REPUBLICAN tell them that you don't want to pay the price for the GOP's billionaire tax breaks.

FACT: Democrats have real power to put an end to the lawless dismantling of our government by President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump. πŸ‘‡

I'm so sorry for the abuse that President Zelensky suffered at the hands of Trump and Vance, during his White House visit. As an American, I am embarrassed and disgusted by this shameful treatment of a head of state who has been our ally.

Stand up to Trump’s authoritarian overreach

Ending birthright citizenship is cruel, unconstitutional, and fundamentally un-American. Stand up for the 14th Amendment. Take action now. πŸ‘‡ app.sosha.ai/s/7ff61XGb

I'm not using it much. It's not a true social network in the sense that Facebook is. Supposedly it's an alternative to Twitter/X which I was not on and didn't want to be because they never really made sense to me. This is easy enough but not much fun.

New here. Scaling back/intensifying privacy on FB without actually leaving. Trying to stay connected and empowered while also staying as safe as possible under effing scary circumstances! Hoping that this platform can help with solidarity, strength and maybe a shred of hope.
