There are countless brilliant women giving their thoughts today. Many of them have been pleading for years and decades. I don’t want to speak over voices that have much more right to be heard.
But you haven’t listened. So it is with that in mind that I speak.
I understand people continue to look for escape routes as this site’s owner makes his intentions more abundantly clear.
I’d love for y’all join me on non-corporate social media. I run the site below, which talks with a whole galaxy of other servers. https://t.co/T0GDwwNRzp
Stopped by to check on some people I miss and frankly the site is literally unusable in my browser. Half the time the feed flashes on first render and then disappears. The other half of the time, scrolling clears the feed.
Come join me at https://t.co/StivDbJlMw y'all
@MikeAreno The 1st Amendment is an EXPLICIT BAN on the government murdering citizens for saying things others don't like. You are explicitly standing against the 1st Amendment.
I'm sure you swore to defend it. So why do you lack the self-awareness to see you're standing as an enemy to it?
@MikeAreno Stop advocating for the governmental murder of people you don't like. Obviously.
You are an anti-American thug and it shames your nation to call yourself a patriot.
@MikeAreno Stop. You're advocating for the government to murder citizens by dropping them out of helicopters. That does not equate to the wrong teens competing in school sports. Or, for that matter, a prosecutor bringing charges you don't like against a powerful public figure.
@MikeAreno Insults aside, you really need to understand—for your own sake and the sake of those around you—that nothing about the view you professed above is patriotic, brave, or at all aligned with American values.
Seriously. Stop and reconsider your views. Revisit civics.
@MikeAreno "Communism always ends up oppressing its own citizens so it's a good idea to oppress citizens in the name of stopping communism."
Congratulations, that's the most braindead excuse for anti-American violence I've heard since the last time a boomer threw a hissy fit about commies.
@MikeAreno Oof, sounds like someone's self-conscious about his weight and has to take it out on random people he dislikes. Scratch a conservative and an insecure weakling bleeds.
@MikeAreno@TXElectionLaw@FEC Probably the part where it appears in the tweet I replied to.
Maybe I missed it while pondering your profile. It’s weird that someone who considers themselves a patriot would reference dropping public servants out of helicopters like an Argentine despot.
@DShalimar895@MikeAreno@TXElectionLaw@FEC Help me out here, since I’m apparently bad at reading. You refer to a “her” here, but you’re the only woman in this comment thread. Are you reporting problems with your own brain?
@KikiSchirr @amazon@penguinrandom I've become a big fan of https://t.co/m1DpJxru8n for anything my local doesn't have on hand. They ship direct from the distributors and all the profit goes to the bookstore tied to my account.
@MithradatesVI You know maybe some justices heard the word Supreme and, after a long and famishing dive through dictionaries, decided to model the court after the pizza. Just throw on a lot of mediocre toppings that don't particularly mesh and hope everyone's too demoralized to push the issue.
@DevSpacePrez The stressful part for me is deciding whether a drop presents a large enough ilvl improvement to be worth burning an upgrade module. I almost forgot to check stats the first evening.
I've been visiting Twitter less and less with the banning of 3rd-party clients. My mastodon server really scratches the itch twitter once did anyway.
There are several of y'all I love hearing from and I hope to see y'all on the other side. I'm happy to help anyone make the jump!
