Can you make a guess how big that dust storm would be on Earth? Like, would it cover half of Oregon or something?

The President of the Untied States should take sides on 9/11. Foreign terrorists killing nearly 3,000 Americans is one of those things an American leader should take sides on.

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

@deck.blue Heya, reporting a weird thing I’ve noticed for a while now. Previously, whenever someone made a repost, it jumped to the top of the column as intended. But nowadays, the repost appears in its original place; a post from 3 hours ago, when reposted, stays low in the column.

It should not be controversial to say that prison sexual violence and/or coercion is never a good thing or an appropriate thing to joke or threaten about, even when the target is someone terrible. It is a deeply fucked up, traumatic part of our carceral system.

Defunding the police is only bad if liberals do it. When conservatives do it, it’s a righteous middle finger to the corrupt feds who went after their poor innocent party leader.

The one thing we have working for us right now is that Republicans are such monsters they fundamentally misunderstand how to properly capitalize on Biden’s weaknesses.

Mastodon has a feature where you can add a private note to any user’s profile, letting you write reminders to yourself of who that person is, or what your impression of them is, etc. Would be perfect for this, I think. <hover over name in blocklist> “Note: ‘Said his dog was cuter than Sarge’”

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.
