JA Westenberg<p>If Elon Musk actually leaves DOGE in May, don’t celebrate. And don't let up. Escaping accountability is his whole game. He’s a Nazi, propping up fascism, wrecking lives, and laundering cruelty. Keep the pressure on. Torch his brand. Shatter his legacy. Make sure history spits on his name.</p>

Randahl Fink<p>It is daylight savings time in the EU. So before you go to bed tonight, please remember to change the time to January 21, 2029.</p><p>When you wake up tomorrow, Ukraine has won the war, Elon Musk is in jail, Trump has died from a blood clot, JD Vance has lost the US election to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Bernie Sanders is now Vice President.</p><p>So please — and I cannot stress this enough — remember to change the time.</p>

Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:<p>All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.</p><p>Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.</p><p>No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.</p>

Nowhere Girl<p>What a lot of people are scared of is young people thinking for themselves, with access to all the world's knowledge, because they won't support the status quo they've built.</p>
Carolyn Barber, MD<p>Millions of bees have died this year and researchers aren’t sure why.

Andrea Junker :verified:<p>Did you know? Chromosome testing in sports has been done before and was stopped because cisgender people repeatedly learned that their chromosomes didn’t match their assigned sex. — Something the “XX and XY only” crowd seems to have forgotten.</p>

Norcal Gma 2<p>A Mastodon milestone.<br>According to my phone this my three thousandth toot.<br>It is hard to believe that I've had so much to show and tell.<br>The thing is, that I showed up here uninvited, and with zero social media experience. My grandkids thought this might be the best place for me to lurk if I wanted Covid updates coming from people that were actually knowledgeable. So, I dipped my toe in the social media pond. <br>They thought there was a good chance some pretty smart people, were to be found here, if I looked.<br>It turned out I was to find so much more than knowledge. <br>There is overt kindness and acceptance here and I didn't have to look far to find it. <br>You found me. <br>I am thankful. <br>The fact that you are overwhelmingly smart, and kind, and that you generously share your expertise, is a bonus.<br>I am privileged to inhabit a small space in your digital community.<br>The photo is from our walk this morning.<br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Seascape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Seascape</span></a></p>

Anirvan Chatterjee<p>"Doroudi’s attorney, David Rozas, told the AP: 'In the words of his fiancé, he is a nerd. All he does is study and is literally trying to fulfill his dream, the American dream, of becoming a researcher and professor of mechanical engineering.' Rozas also said that Doroudi had 'not been arrested for any crime, nor has he participated in any anti-government protests.'"</p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/alabama-alireza-doroudi-ice/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/society/</span><span class="invisible">alabama-alireza-doroudi-ice/</span></a></p>

Maho Pacheco 🦝🍻<p>You know you can tax the rich right now, right? Just shift where you spend your money.</p><p>Support your local coffee shop instead of a big chain. Shop at farmers' markets. Eat at local restaurants. Buy from mom-and-pop stores. Choose independent brands over corporate giants.</p><p>Yes, it might cost a little more, but you're redirecting money away from corporations that thrive on low wages and putting it straight into your community—where it can grow, support jobs, and build something better.</p><p>You are effectively taxing the rich.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ShopLocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShopLocal</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SupportSmallBusiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SupportSmallBusiness</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EatLocal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EatLocal</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CommunityWealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityWealth</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/EthicalSpending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalSpending</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TaxTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TaxTheRich</span></a></p>
Fight the Right<p>Oh, Muskie, my sweet. Yes, we do want to destroy your "influence" (= complete control), because we believe in democracy. Where ordinary people (remember them?) have a say.</p><p>And no, the "Nazi stuff" isn't fake. We saw you, light of my life, heart of my heart's desiring, we *saw* you make a Nazi salute. We *know* you enabled a fascist president, and spent $400 million to get him elected. We *know* you supported the neo-nazi AfD in Germany. </p><p>*You* are the evil one.</p>
Prof. Sam Lawler<p>Very pleasant day of talking to family (including talking my parents through setting up Signal, yay), cooking projects, watching a movie (one upside to a shitty weather day), and saying hello to all the crows who apparently migrated back here today.</p><p>Mama goats are in the barn for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BabyGoatCountdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BabyGoatCountdown</span></a> (4 days), and my incubator is only running 1 degree cold currently so maybe the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediverseChickCountdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FediverseChickCountdown</span></a> will still be happening? I'm guessing at least 1 day late (Monday, not tomorrow).</p>
