@Gargron Hi, and thanks. I was referring to a troll habit of swarming complaints, not just one. Hope you’re doing well.

Btw, any word on quote-post option/when? TY.

A locked account, “
@yuki2501 “ replied this to me:

“ CW us politics, please. “

No. I don’t CW actual news unless it’s gory or otherwise extremely disturbing.

This is why people leave Mastodon, (not me) folks.

I replied back that I don’t CW news and that they should mute me.

If I get kicked off my server for that, so be it. I’ll go to Threads or Bsky.

So… women can’t make decisions about their own health but…

Via @atrupar:

This is great news for Covid…

Sarah Huckabee Sanders:

Arkansas will ban #COVID vaccine mandates for public employees.

👉🏼And we will publish all potential risks related to the vaccine so Arkansans can make informed decisions about their health👈🏼

@aral Maybe this includes them.

The #IRS announced on Friday it is launching an effort to aggressively pursue 1,600 millionaires and 75 large business partnerships that owe hundreds of millions of dollars in past due taxes.

@Gargron Pleasssse Quote Toots! I did read they were coming? Do we have a time frame?

This is why I still mask up. I’m often one of 2 or 3 in a store who wears a mask, and I have zero problem with the looks I get.

Summer brings #COVID-19 uptick amid renewed travel, socializing.

⚠️ Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in #Nashville. Reps who stood w/their constituents who came to state house to demand #guns safety are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how #democracy ends.

Olivia Julianna:

...The Tenn. legis is planning to expel lawmakers who stood w gun control advocates today.

They've been stripped from committee assignments & their member ID’s shut off

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
