The point is that the MAGA movement is already extremely violent. Their threats are being carried out. The issue is bigger than idle “threats”. The actions of these domestic terrorists have already warped life in America.
Surely this could’ve been avoided if only there had been four good guys with guns…
It’s sad but it’s just three more senseless deaths at the hands of gun violence that we will do absolutely nothing about. Just add ‘em to the list. Many thoughts and prayers from the right though 🙏
and scale back investment in its Mozilla.social Mastodon instance.
Well shit, I guess I’m never getting off that waitlist. Of all the services being effected by this news the mastodon instance is a relatively minor loss but I was really hoping it’d work out and thrive in a similar manner to Vivaldi’s instance.

“Give me a break — I mean, it’s Trump,” Mr. Graham said. “All I can say is while Trump was president nobody invaded anybody. I think the point here is to, in his way, to get people to pay.”
Oh shut up Lindsey. It could not have been more obvious that Putin's invasion of Ukraine depended heavily on a second Trump term so that his lapdog could continue to undermine NATO and prevent Ukraine from receiving critical support.

Yeah, this thread is beyond frustrating. We need to prioritize teaching civics in high school because it could not be more obvious that a large number of people out there have no idea what they’re even talking about. It’s just ignorant rage.
