I can't make you quit Twitter.

But I sure can trash all threads with a blue square.

Join me. Boycott Twitter on DU.
Nazi not spoken here.

A minimal act of resistance to the fascist regime: Get Off Shitter. (aka X, aka Twitter.)

Is this really too much to ask?

Consider why the fascists are good at using boycotts to get results. Perhaps because they actually boycott? Just a thought.

If you need instant news fixes try BlueSky.
What you won't get there is an endless stream of what Elon Musk wants you to see. In fact you are mostly in control of what shows up on your screen.

Tik Tok Trap.

The tik Tok ban law is a case study for how the Democratic Party leadership shoots itself directly in the foot with the intention of doing just that.

Fearful of appearing insufficiently xenophobic against China, they steered the party’s congressional caucuses to support the supposedly bipartisan ban on the currently most popular social media platform on the planet.

The maga strategists knew exactly what they were doing, and have now positioned their leader as the savior of Tik Tok.

We aren’t playing 3d chess, we are playing checkers at a gun fight.

Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa) joined Truth Social, DonaldTrump’s social media platform, and called for a pardon for Trump in his NY hush money case.

“The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both b-, and pardons are appropriate,” Fetterman wrote.

Today I voted for my grandchildren Miles and Madeline.

I want them to have a future in a just and equitable society.

"I need the kind of generals Hitler had"

First of all that ought to have every responsible media organization denouncing this megalomaniac as unfit for any elected office.

But they won't. Once again the sane-washing will declare this is just trump being trump, lol. Worse, they will and are framing it as 'Harris attacking Trump', rather than, as they did with Biden, Trump being unfit to serve.

But I'm still a bit confused. Does the shithead even know that Hitler's generals got their asses roundly kicked in Russia, destroying Hitlers war machine, and paving the way for the invasion of Italy and France and the end of Hitler and his generals?
