@randahl That’s partly why I won’t join blue sky. It is subject to sale to an oligarch. Unfortunately some people in America are very #selfish. About 43% of the population voted for the fascist. 49% of the voting public, so he didn’t even get 50% because some people voted for the alternate parties just because they wanted to vote as a low info voter but didn’t like either one. They voted for them even knowing what they could get in the end by throwing away their vote.
Everyone will get to see our future severely crippled and deformed.
Life is challenging enough without being hobbled on top of it.
I recall my HS History teacher and the endless barrage of, "Do you need to use those everywhere you go?"
All because of the people that feel "My body, my choice" represents anything they're told to insert into it, rather than what may or may not come out of it.
A double-edged canon. One, a right to self-protection and doing what's necessary for one's own survival. The other, a duty to protect oneself and the entire human race.
Both make the quality of life better for all.
Anyone not understanding that is either #deranged or #selfish or an #anarchist
He’s also employed this kind of attempted bullying before. 4 years ago, #Trump denied Goldberg’s story about “#SuckersAndLosers,” but other reporters quickly duplicated the reporting, including Jennifer Griffin of #FoxNews. Trump quickly (though unsuccessfully) demanded that Fox fire her. Trump has also sporadically railed at Goldberg & #TheAtlantic since 2020.

“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.

#Trump is attacking the messenger here because he can’t really attack the message. He denies making the remarks, but a pile of other #evidence backs up the report. Goldberg’s recent story was closely followed by a NYT story in which #JohnKelly, a retired general who served as Trump’s chief of staff, described Trump’s obsession w/personal loyalty & desire to use the #military against domestic critics. 13 other fmr Trump-admin ofcls signed a letter backing these accounts up.
#KamalaHarris calls #Fascist #Florida #Governor #RonDeSantis ‘#utterlyirresponsible’ for #refusing #call with her on #hurricane #aid
She called him to discuss #HurricaneHelene and #HurricaneMilton aid. “People are in #desperate #need of #support right now and playing #politicalgames with this moment, in these #crisis situations, these are the height of #emergency situations, it’s utterly #irresponsible, and it is #selfish.”

“preface every question you ask with Holy Shit I'm Just Curious Please Dont Yell At Me because it turns out a lot of questions seem to Mean Something and people will get mad if you ask them.”
@memphismary @kentborg @weaselx86 @lauren If you look across all countries, all ethnicities, and all religions at #Conservatives you will find that the distinguishing feature is that it defines #Self or #InGroup versus #Other or #OutGroup. Being a #Conservative is a purely #Narissistic and #Selfish act
@georgetakei Republican #GOP #MAGA men really are #Ignorant, #Selfish, #ManSplainer people

To reduce flooding we should be concentrating all our efforts on slowing the flow,. Watersheds need restoration of the sponge effect of natural scrub vegetation & rivers need to reclaim floodplains. Floodplains should return to their natural condition …wet woodland. Low quality farm land in floodplains should be regarded as sacrificial & even in some cases returned to woodland & wetlands. Beavers can help with this at no cost.

I'm 6'3"and my shoulder is still below the hood of this idiotic truck. These monster American trucks are dumb.

@futurebird Anyone on the left not leaving is either
1. Too selfish/worried about leaving that follower count.
2. Too coward to leave to be called out by Musk.
Very few people are big enough to be in # 2.
@axios and put others, including teachers like myself, at risk. #irresponsible #selfish
#Tories often say their 'winners & losers' #Individualism #WorldView is just 'plain natural'. 'Some of the gazelle have to lose else the lion cubs will die'.
Here's a good read if y' suspect they may just be #greedy, #selfish #baЯstards after all.
@Covidisheretostaypleasewearn95 few weeks ago which IMO is helping my immune system. I’ve also had 2 Pfizer’s, Wild type & BA.1
Unlike other people who run around, my case is actually a mild cold
My spouse #Covid proof in that he incubates & spreads given enough time spent w/him, but his immune system cuts it off day 5~
Took me almost 2 yrs to figure that out #genes
When it comes to your #health be abundantly #selfish
Other day snapped at him to get away from me & he looked sad for a sec3/5
