Imagine if the owners of the biggest tech & social media companies had the strength of character to consolidate against a felon promoting fascism instead of caving to him.
Watching these wealthy tech giants scramble to get first crack at trumps table scraps is jarring. But what’s even worse is that they made their fortune from our obsession with their products. If we are going to have a true resistance, that obsession must end.
In addition to all of the other horrible stuff, the only way Musk has hat hair in front of the entire world is because the richest man in the world is the king wears no clothesest man in the world.
The social media companies are bowing to the reality of the new government - regrettable, but understandable from their point of view. But there may be some silver linings, including the obvious old canard about it being better to be inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in.We can hope.
Yes. I am concerned that Blue Sky is putting a label on my profile when all I have done is promote MLK over the inauguration. Whatever they say, it's not much different than FB.
But, isn’t that what oligarchs do? Consolidate behind their chosen puppet? And there I was…determined to not watch or read anything about today’s farce. /sigh
Sad but so true. Devistating. I'm glad to subscribe to MJ and honest publications like it. Hint. Not the NY Times or the WAPO. I read the latter for the comics.
We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me
I installed Tiktok because the Supreme "Court" ruled that it could be banned. I refuse to abide by any decision made by that filthy, corrupt organization. Since Tiktok is now praising Trumputin, it is coming right back off my phone.
So Bluesky is a good alternative to Xitter - but we need an alternative to Facebook and Insta. Never used TikTok so not missing that lol. Slowly getting off Amazon (supporting local biz, buying directly from producers, even getting stuff from Target is better than Amazon).

For now.
