@hippyjo@c.imOver 1300 days of Russian war crimes and genocide on Ukrainians, and the west has still done nothing substantial to stop it.
Wringing your hands and asking "please" of a murderous monster yields the expected results.
Meanwhile, the military industrial complex grows richer, and Europe continues to buy Russian oil and gas.
Fuckery of the first degree.
Witness Ukraine, and understand the disgusting truth of the horror you see. This is the protection that Americ…

So, in the tradition of gangster middle names, we ought to have some for the maga-criminals

Stephen "Baldy" Miller
Pam "Schtupless" Bondi
Karoline "Liar" Leavitt

@groupnebula563@mastodon.socialI've just started reading "Tuesdays with Morrie", and I have to say, it is an amazing book so far, one I think everyone ought to read. Pick up a copy from your local bookstore or library and give it a read, I promise you'll like it!

@mlawton@mstdn.socialAn absolute curtain of rain closed in and caused a delay. It soon passed and the game was able to resume.
At 3-2, it was a narrower victory for the home team, the Salem Red Sox, than it ought to have been. The Carolina Mudcats had 6 errors. There could have been a 7th, but the scorers must have felt some charity for a duffed ball at 3B and let it slide.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialNew York City ought to immediately initiate eminent domain proceedings and seize every trump or trump org family owned building in the city.
On what grounds:
Because of false statements and failure to abide by agreements with the city.
For instance, tromp-tower was built in violation of an agreement to preserve aspects of the Bonwitt-Teller building.
And the city does have need of space for homeless and low income housing.
If the maga's can fire people based…

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI would add that his comment is spot on but does not apply to the whole population, and we ought to be paying a lot more attention to the people here in the US who do know what life without democracy is like.
Like for example: Jim Crow existed in full force within living memory, and a huge part of the current fascist pitch in the US is bringing it back.

The same government that wants to "turbocharge AI" with "AI Growth Zones", that puts "AI" into public services left and right, and the government that generally seems to be fully "AI"-pilled now has the audacity to ask people to delete emails "to save water"? 😂

It is long past time since judges ought to have realized that dithering and lying and besmirching defendants is the maga play-book. And in response judges should haul up any lawyer who uses those tactics onto a judicial yardarm (metaphorical yardarm) and impose contempt (both civil and criminal) sanctions (involving jail and fines), di…

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialD-party congress critters ought to begin drafting bills to dismantle DHS.
DHS, including its highly nazi-flavored name, was constructed by a Congress and president (bush) who were terrified after 9/11.
It is time to pull the pieces of DHS apart, retaining some parts, deleting other parts (such as ICE), and reshaping the rest.
