Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.

Thatโ€™s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.

If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, whatโ€™s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesnโ€™t like?

Iโ€™ve been suggesting on TV and podcastsโ€”without actual evidence(!)โ€”that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administrationโ€™s illegal conduct.

Turns out it seems already to be true. ๐Ÿ‘‰

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we neednโ€™t be afraid to.

Let my ignorance help you.
1. If you share a post, it's a repost
2. If you share a post with your comment, it's a quote.
3. If you do both
a) there's no way to cover your error, & b) if you think hiding will work it, it won't, it will hide your post & the author's from view & it's forever

I may reconsider stopping on FB. I think this is a valid reason to not.

Also, one of my FB friends said he wasn't leaving because FB has a long history of being a shit show. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Iโ€™m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other.

Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse.

I donโ€™t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

My 1st real Bluesky post (not counting a shared one). I've been here for a couple months and think I'm figuring it out. So far, it's great.

I deleted Twitter & am figuring out how to leave Meta, although I'll probably keep those accounts active but no longer post/interact on those platforms.
