BREAKING: The U.S. House just passed a bill that could devastate nonprofits, chill free speech, and hand Trump unchecked power.

Submission can be forced through fear, which is called ‘fawning for the predator’. Men with an entitlement complex feel the need to control others, which does make them weak by nature because they feel they can’t influence people without manipulation.

Should you block right wing trolls on here?
Short answer: yes
The entire reason so many people fled the other place for threads, spoutible, and other alternatives is to escape the toxicity.
If you block them, they'll get bored and leave.

I graduated high school in 1984. It was a glorious time. It’s also the year the movie “Red Dawn” came out. It’s a time in this country when we all knew the Soviet Union/Russia was our enemy. I still know that. I haven’t changed in that regard.

An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.

Probably safe to say Gaetz would be the first AG to use the PayPal account of the son he “adopted” (but not officially) after dating the boy’s sister to compensate the teen sex workers he patronized.
They were paid through Venmo or other conduits — including the PayPal of Nestor Galban, whom Gaetz has referred to as his “adopted son.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
