Trump has never said anything nasty about David Pecker, the National Enquirer publisher, and self-proclaimed practitioner of "checkbook journalism" (a pair of words that make my skin crawl)-- even as Pecker gives highly damaging testimony.
Pecker has not said anything mean about Trump. Just reported on his crimes. Is Trump just sensitive to those who tease & insult him?
Why is he silent? We know it ain't that gag order. (The only ones gagging are all the judges scared to jail him)
@futurebird I'll believe Trump has committed a crime when he's convicted. And maybe not even then anymore. The left has been sperging out about "this time he's going down" for like a thousand times in the past 8 years that I don't believe shit they say anymore. And yes it's looking like political persecution. It doesn't look a damn thing like due process. Especially when the former vice president gets away with worse.
@futurebird because every institution in this country is captured by the democrats. NPR just confessed that they were. Every social media site blocked and pulled any news outlet that reported on the laptop. Ya'll are so blind to the fact that the entire US has become your personal political "bubble".
@futurebird and personally I find the repeal of the Smith-Mundt to be the most heinous act a president ever perpetrated against the American people. Even more so than outright killing citizens. Which Obama is also guilty of.
@futurebird and you still trust them?! No the Smith-Mundt act doesn't apply to all the examples I posted. It was yet another in the myriad of examples of why I don't trust them!
@stux at least everything Putin does is for the good OF HIS OWN NATION. Biden is a little foreign bought traitor. Sending our tax dollars oversees to be laundered into his own pocket and the pocket of other corrupt congressmen.
I'm almost tempted to go to Mastodon's GitHub repository and submit a feature request for an instance type allowlist/blocklist. The blocklist would exclude all instances of a certain type (project). The allowlist would only allow such.
I'd explicitly state that the allowlist would make it possible to defederate everything that isn't Mastodon.
Human Trafficking: A Reference Handbook by Alexis A. Aronowitz, 2017
Offering an up-to-date and comprehensive resource for students and general readers investigating human trafficking, this book examines the phenomenon in its many forms, the factors contributing to its existence, the victims it affects, and those who perpetrate this horrific crime.
OK, I have come to the conclusion, after decades of working my ass off, and being brilliant and original and nearly completely ignored, and having my ideas stolen by men who go credit for them, and erased as a writer by Amazon 'because tech books by women don't sell' and so much more...that I actually may have some things to say that others could benefit from.
I am done with applying to speak at conferences.
If you want to hear me speak, and share my work, make it happen.
@kristinHenry they didn't steal your ideas because you were a woman and they were men. They stole your ideas because they made a living stealing the ideas of others and probably have done so to more men than women (simple math). I'm sorry you had to endure that. Some people are just assholes. Amazon on the other hand probably hired some old book publisher fogey that thinks it's still 1980 something.
I had not considered that one could blame #Trump (but now also #Biden) for escalating tensions in #Israel#Palestine. The efforts to work out better government relationships between a much more right-wing Israel and other countries in the region did not consider the interests of the Palestinians. If successful, they would have further isolated a people already totally fucked. Just more evidence that it's ridiculous to claim #October7th was unprovoked.

@jeffowski Drag shows are adult in nature, frequently filled with sexual jokes, suggestive dancing, and dress. They were always adult in nature. The question isn't, why don't we want our children watching drag shows, the question is, why do men who dress in drag want an audience of children?
@Powerfromspace1@Free_Press why do you think America has an open border right now? Because the left has frightened its latest generation into not having children with catastrophizing climate change and sterilizing them on top of that with chemicals in food and puberty blockers.
