Please don't pay for my content. I just want to be able to connect with others and share on safer platforms.

Substack is problematic. Bluesky, Skylight, META, TT, Twitter-all bad.

We have to be smarter. Fediverse is where it's at. And Kofi for now.

Please find me on Mastodon. This app censors and is millionaire owned with its allegiance being to capitalism, not the people who use it. Mastodon/the fediverse are the answer.

We cannot continue to use soc med that surveils, algorithms, censors, tracks, etc, and expect to be able to share info.

I’ve never had someone in real life tell me how amazing ChatGPT has been for them with a concrete example but I’m hearing more and more stories of people’s lives being significantly disrupted by it in a bad way (ex from this morning: a friend of a friend’s dad is “dating” ChatGPT)

I can't believe people are proud of being centrists. Like forget that weird thing about being a centrist but not a liberal just imagine bragging about either one. Imagine being part of the problem and being smug about it like you're the solution lmao. Why don't you try caring about people or sumpin

We need to DOGE our own debt problems.
Refuse to pay
No more debt service for just 60 days.
They will eat each other alive.

Tank tech, and make the banks recall their tax evading loans against stock value.

No taxation without representation. And stop paying debt. Under Biden there was a massive wealth transfer to the 1% while ordinary people got inflation and credit card debt to survive. Trump is doing the same. This criminal corrupt system must be dismantled.

The best part about this is a 12 oz Mexican Coke has 39 grams of sugar lol. For Americans, that’s almost a quarter cup of sugar lmao.

Anyone who has partaken in MAHA in any way, even if they just said “well he’s right about our processed foods,” is an unserious stupid loser and you can’t convince me otherwise

@SecKennedy MAHA is winning. Steak 'n Shake @SteaknShake • 2d Starting August 1, Steak n Shake will offer Coca-Cola with real cane sugar in glass bottles. America deserves the best! 6:10 PM • 7/19/25 • 134K Views

16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it’s a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store

So… a cop, in the most generous reading of events and at best, had loose powder briefly touch his skin & in a blind panic hit himself with fucking narcan?

Amazing how long the “list of shit cops expect sympathy for that you literally would not be able to waterboard me into admitting I had done” is.

MPD officer exposed to fentanyl, uses Narcan on himself, police say This all happened shortly after 9 p.m. on July 18. MPD told FOX10 News the officer responded to a call of a suspicious person, which resulted in him being exposed to fentanyl. The officer was able to ...

paging dr @ryanmarino.bsky.social to the sure he did unit, code yuh huh, i repeat, we have a code yuh huh in the sure he did unit

Overdosed on panic

I just heard a guest say on MSNBC that Trump likely doesn't have a case in his Wall Street Journal libel case unless he gets Judge Cannon. Everyone nodded and agreed. And it struck me that we've now reached the point where brazen corruption is just expected and accepted as a part of civic life.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social so I noticed you voted No so I went to go look at an old skeet of yours to ok tbh make a quote joke, but come to find out your account has deleted all posts containing the words Gaza, Israel and genocide

So that's uh. Interesting

85% of Gaza’s population have entered the "fifth stage" of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future.

I think this is the most horrifying post I have ever read.

Bluesky is not any better than the rest of billionaire owned social media. I have never understood people thinking this is some sort of save haven or shield from the storm.

Mastodon. The fediverse. We MUST make the move en masse. I wish people would care about reality.

can you help me create a new account please my family is dying of hunger in northern gaza and no one responds to me i don't want to lose my family

Love to tell people “sorry can’t help you with this because Bluesky in order to deflect from a very real thing they were doing instead did a bad faith attack on the people calling it out where they made asking someone to help with a perfectly legal thing against TOS”

I dunno man. People roasted the fuck outta Bush and he still completely destroyed civil rights for generations and started two illegal wars.

What problem is that, cuz the only problem I see is a bunch of perverted 19 year old "lieutenant majors" who's only combat experience involves drone striking playgrounds, gonna be a wonderful day in the sun when they're psychopathic wives lament about all the horrors they bragged about commiting

"Uri was such a gentle soul, he would always have time to regail us with stories of the time he barred the doors of an orphanage and then lit it on fire"

The collapse of civilisation Days after turning 100, former Malaysian prime minister Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad posted his reflections on the state of the world.

"Now we are seeing an orgy of killing. We are seeing genocide being perpetrated before our own eyes. Worse still, the genocide is actually being promoted and defended.

"Civilisation is no more the norm."

Trump claws back billions in foreign aid, public broadcasting funding The United States House of Representatives has approved the Trump administration's $US9 billion in cuts to public broadcasting and foreign aid programs.

"Some Republicans were uncomfortable with the cuts, yet supported them anyway, wary of crossing Mr Trump or upsetting his agenda"

Trump's new Big Bill will increase debt by 3,300 billion USD. Saving 9 billion to increase public harm & ignorance needs context.

Trump’s EPA is eliminating its scientific research arm, firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists & scientists in the process.

The EPA’s science office produces data on hazardous chemicals, air pollution, water quality & more.

This will make Americans more vulnerable & unhealthy.

Dad Moved Fam to Russia to Flee Woke—Now He’s on Front Line Derek Huffman, 46, joined the military with hopes of becoming a Russian citizen. His wife said he was duped into a combat role.

An American who moved his family to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” is being sent to the front lines despite being assured he would serve in a non-combat role.
