It feels like getting hugged by one of those wire-frame surrogate mothers when baby monkeys are found lost in the jungle.
In this age of WW hugs, what does a Cyclops hug feel like?

Stewart Rhodes, leader of Oath Keepers, was convicted of conspiracy & sentenced to 18 years in prison for Jan 6.
Now pardoned & released by Trump, he says Jan 6 should be known as “Patriots Day”.
Michael Fanone, a former DC Police Officer had a message for him, live on CNN:
“Go fuck yourself”🔥

For years, many on the right have hijacked the Church for their own political ends, whilst often espousing values which are the antithesis of Christian & other faiths.
New rule: you want a photo opp in Church? Brace for some truths.
Mariann Budde just did church & state a huge service.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

It’s notable that the double Nazi salute is not only clear, it’s also perfectly in line with Elon Musk and Trump’s ideology of white genocide, great replacement theory, and the cult of reproduction.
And Nazis are very much feeling empowered to be visible today.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.
But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.
We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Corporate-owned social media companies have an adversarial relationship with their customers: they profit from worsening our mental health. A US-owned TikTok wouldn't change that.
We should be regulating *all* social media companies more ...and building platforms not owned by billionaires. 5/🧵

As negative temperatures approach my growing zone (6a), I'm so glad for the snow still insulating some of my plants and the forethought I had to insulate my flower beds with leaves in the fall. I knew it was going to be a cold one. #gardening #Midwest

One of the coolest parts of releasing the at protocol TikTok (aka @skylight.social) after only 72 hours of building, is that every time users open the app, they’ll see new updates!!
Hopefully every update brings it closer and closer to the community feeling so many of us experienced on TikTok!
