I just heard that Kalshi prediction market has a 90% chance that Schumer will be the Senate Majority Leader
please, let's stop that from happening. He is too weak & too corrupted & too conservative to do that job in these times
i'm looking for my other post about how Aaron Rupar is the biggest mouthpiece for the fascist Repugs, spreading their lies & propaganda everywhere,
but this will have to do for now. ECM mentioned him quickly in stream above about Not Reposting Fascist Propaganda!!!

🚨 Please Watch & Spread This 🚨
How #Brazil & #Lula beat the fascist, social media machine 💪
by Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin in her #Resistance Live stream💙
I have been shouting this forever! wrote a substack on this last year. this is still what people argue w/ me most about. i've asked historians to weigh in. please listen to ECM 💯
Stop reposting fascist #propaganda ‼️
to be clear, i'm not claiming Aaron is pro-fascist. i have no idea where his politics lie. but he's definitely one of the fascists' most useful idiots
don't believe me? check his feeds. see all of the clips of fascists spreading their lies & propaganda
then i hope you block all of his feeds as i've done
i am looking forward to the day when my fellow #AntiFascists finally stop helping Aaron Rupar help the fascists to spread their propaganda
please stop reposting it. & ffs, stop liking it🤮
I'm disappointed in how many people repost Aaron Rupar on Mastodon😒
He's one of the loudest, most widespread mouthpieces for fascist propaganda. He reposts:
>Dotard's LIESocial posts
>lies by the WH
>lies from Faux State TV
>lies from pretty much every fascist media outlet
>from non-fascist outlets, he quotes & shares clips of fascists, helping them spread their fascist propaganda
& he spreads it to bsky & mastodon where most fascists get blocked, but he gets their propaganda into those spaces

I just wanted to bring attention to this again. i still sometimes forget, but i'm getting better
Remember to delete the #YouTube source identifier from your links 💙
My favorite quiz show #OnlyConnect 💙
What connects these 4 clues?
(on the show they are revealed 1 at a time for more points)
I joined #Mastodon in August last year. I would like to look up the date of my first post and what it was.
can anyone tell me a quick way to see that without scrolling through 4.8K posts? (wow, that feels like too many for 1yr😅)
cancel culture is not real
what it is normally called is "consequences" for being a shitty human being
i just "self censored" myself by deleting a post that i knew would incense a lot of people and engender unnecessary animosity
plus, it's never a good idea to point out to religious people that their god is not real
if someone wants to cancel or unfollow me for that, good. i only want to be followed by people who can hold an intelligent conversation
I hope all of you know that the US is on the path to being a fascist autocracy if it is not stopped. but if you know someone who thinks you're being hyperbolic, Ruth Ben-Ghiat lays it out simply & w/ receipts
Also, to all of those who didn't vote, or don't vote, but call themselves #AntiFascist -
"If you think the elections are a sham, you are much less likely to exercise your precious right to vote. In doing so, you are doing the autocrat’s job for him."
After we have lost the war against the fascists,
as we collect our fallen from the battlefield,
we will inevitably find that many of our casualties were friendly fire;
soldiers shooting their own because they were incapable of distinguishing between the fascists and those fighting the fascists.
Our loss will have been self inflicted.
& another cool resource for introducing people to the #fediverse
and this goes with it

Thought i'd pin this resource here 💙
Keep it handy to point people to 😊
(i was also getting sick of looking at the site for reporting & tracking ICE Nazis
Scroll over for that resource & others )
#WT7
🎉 spread the word!📣
dump the fascist apps
💙 #PixelFed > ⛔ #instagram
💙 #Loops > ⛔ #tiktok
people want the followers & likes of the old apps, so we need to build a presence to attract people
i've never watched tiktok, but i made a loops page. i'm still looking for a #PeerTube to join so i can post longer, larger vids
🤔 i thought we should plan a date for an "Abandon FB Day" & get all our FB friends to switch to ? Friendica? on the same day in a mass exodus
Hey people of #Mastodon & the #Fediverse
Is this an opportunity we can take advantage of to promote #Loops
Is anyone encouraging disenfranchised TikTok'rs to come to Loops?
The best way to promote it would be to bring big creators over. They'd have a chance to have input on improvements at the beta stage
& when we bring people to 1 platform in the Fediverse, we can connect them to all the others💙
I wanted to post this resource for reporting #ICE agents & incidents
They post photos & profiles of ICE agents
Some they need help ID'ing or unmasked photos
Make these #NachoNazis famous while documenting for their trials
This is why we need Blue💙Govs to have state police intervene & make these #fascists show ID & unmask them to match to faces
Make them learn "just following orders" is not a defense
