Out of control..

" Former President Donald Trump posted a video on Monday showing images of a fake newspaper article that references a “unified Reich” if he’s reelected... with a narrator reading hypothetical headlines like “Economy Booms!” and “Border is closed,” styled as World War I-era newspaper clippings. r one headline that reads “What’s next for America?” the “creation of a unified Reich.” "

I have 38,000 followers on Mastodon. If only 1% of my followers gave me one dollar a month on Patreon, I would be making 38 million dollars every single month. The power of the generosity of strangers blows my mind.

"Almost as soon as president Joe Biden announced he would halt a weapons shipment to Israel, Steve Witkoff’s iPhone started buzzing.

'Every one of my friends started calling and asking, "What can I do for Donald Trump?"' Witkoff, a pro-Israel donor and fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign, told The Bulwark."

@wdlindsy As long as these people think supporting a fascist criminal is good, who knows what depths they will stoop to.

@wdlindsy I have to say as a / research professional, I am continually stunned by 's leadership and it's historical insensitivity. They should be SO MUCH better. I would never have that same expectation of & .

The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.

Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.

The ozone could have a huge hole.

We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.

I feel like we forget this, you know?

@futurebird Too bad we won't take equivalent action to save . We are facing and are not intelligent enough to see the writing on the wall....

I certainly have had enough of some people claiming that we must cower to Putin, because he has nuclear weapons. And I am glad to see, I am not alone.

In a debate show on Danish national tv, foreign editor of Danish newspaper Weekendavisen, Anna Libak replied to yet another “But Putin’s has nuclear weapons!” by saying, “If Hitler had nuclear weapons, would we have given him France?”

Bingo! Of course we would not. And neither should Putin have Ukraine.

@randahl It might be worth noting that if really wanted to use his nukes, he has had a more than adequate amount of time and number of excuses to set them off.
