@aubilenon @inthehands Interesting observation

@inthehands So much Disney revolves around the theme that family is the most important thing - you all have to look out after each other, and heck that even defines who you are. The hero's a hero because they're a princess or a child of a great explorer or important lion or whatever and maybe their stepfamily is awful but their biological family is good so they're inherently good.
I think this message is harmful! Real people are _not_ automatically good (or bad) because their parents were good (or bad), and people outside your family are important too!
If your market is families, then constantly saying "family is the most important" is just savvy business I guess.
@JessBravin How about enforcing the Miscegenation rules present at the founding of this country?
@misty What makes you think that YOU own your computer?

More Americans need to understand that the politicians giving a standing ovation to Netanyahu talking about “finishing the job” are literally applauding genocide. Standing ovation for burying children alive. These people are sick.

Bernie Sanders, righteous man:
“So tomorrow, M. President, when members of Congress give Mr. Netanyahu a standing ovation, I hope for one second they will remember the starving children in Gaza.
I hope while they applaud, that they will think about the hundreds of aid workers killed, the dozens of hospitals bombed, the housing destroyed, and the universities obliterated.”

Dear Voters,
Republicans are telling people that Kamala #Harris is coming for your plastic straws and gas stoves.
We are telling you that Trump and the Republicans are coming for your Social Security and Medicare.
Please, put things into perspective.

I find the investment people have (on both sides) in the narrative of whether Trump was hit by shrapnel or grazed directly by a bullet to be incredibly silly.
Being shot at is terrifying. Being injured by shrapnel can be at least as injurious as being grazed by a bullet. Don’t shoot at people.
Whatever happened, Trump was fortunate to not have been seriously injured, and he remains as terrible a choice for president as ever.

Over the course of a single decade, the Republican Party has gone from keeping its racism behind closed doors to shouting it from the rooftops.
They don't even pretend anymore.
@realTuckFrumper It is necessary for power to attack, as violently as possible, those who question them.
@realTuckFrumper When you say "thank god", which of the gods are you referring to, and how do you know that any of them were involved, other than making it all up?

Make no mistake; the President of the United States calling for Supreme Court reform in an Oval Office address is a big deal.
It's time to unpack the court.
@realTuckFrumper One butcher to another
@mcc Nope. They did this to find those who might criticize or otherwise challenge power. The 'drug dealers' thing is as much a coverup as 'think of the children'
@mattblaze I am puzzeld by outbursts of this sort. I don't understand the underlying framework.

BREAKING!
The Antifa Turtle on #Twitter shared a Twitter API okta leak that shows there is a list of "protected accounts", all of them right wing, who are allowed to break #X Terms Of Services without consequence and includes a list of whitelisted slurs they are allowed to use.
The whistle-blowing Twitter account was suspended by mods shortly after.

USA ELECTIONS 2024
The Prosecutor VS
The Convicted Felon
The stakes are high; will the voters let former Attorney General Kamala Harris save western democracy or will Convicted Felon Donald Trump usher in Authoritarian rule and the end of Ukraine as he embraces Vladimir Putin?

The Secret Service advised Trump not to hold outdoor rallies BEFORE the Butler shooting.
But indoor venues are impossible to book when you have a years-long history of not paying them.

OK folks, we need to stop assuming #Mastodon is the entire #Fediverse and expecting its idiosyncrasies to be mandated on everyone else.
There's no such thing as a "CW" in #ActivityPub. A Note can have a summary and a content and if Mastodon wants to display the summary and hide the content that's its problem. There are so many examples of this. Please stop screaming at people just because you think they've failed some kind of Mastodon purity test on an ActivityPub network when they're following the rules of their instance.
