Is Mastodon dying?
there are only 334k people on this server...the vast majority of the posts have no engagement whatsoever.
I read growth had flat lined and Bluesky was the place to be if you didn't want to be part of the NaziX...

The decision further clears the way for #Trump to re-fire probationary employees. Those are typically #FederalWorkers in their 1st or 2nd year on the job, or who have been recently promoted.
In a 2-to-1 decision, the appeals court said the Trump admin was likely to succeed in showing that the lower court lacked #jurisdiction in the case brought by 19 states & DC. The court did not rule on whether the firings were #lawful.

This is the kind of person Trump is..
At a Republican dinner last night he says, "the World wants to Kiss My Ass' now because of the tariffs..
This creature is turning the USA and the World into the cesspit of evil for his own pleasure.
IT HAS TO STOP!

Via Lawrence O'Donnell:
As predicted last night, Trump caved.
No surprise.
The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell:
#Musk called Navarro a 'moron.' What does Musk think of Trump who follows Navarro’s advice?

Well, this is, terrifying
#Trump Wants to Merge Government #Data. Here Are 314 Things It Might Know About You.
The federal govt knows your mother’s maiden name & your bank account number. The student debt you hold. Your disability status. The company that employs you & the wages you earn there. And that’s just a start.

Musk & DOGE are disrupting Federal computers on purpose & people will die.
We'll be told it was "an accident" a " mistake" & they'll fix it promptly.
But they won't stop.
The GOP will say DOGE is Necessary,
Tech Bros will defend the use of AI in DOGE.
The media will give #Musk the benefit of the doubt.
Then more will die.
"It wasn't intentional!" Fox will say & downplay the deaths
I'd ask JD Vance, "How many have to die until you stop Musk, #DOGE, & Vought to complete Thiel's plan?"

”Since Musk poured $290 million into getting Trump elected in 2024 and then burst into the news with his “Department of Government Efficiency,” he has seemed to be in control of the administration. But he has stolen the limelight from Trump, and it appears Trump’s patience with him might be wearing thin.”

The changes come a week after a supervisor in the tower was arrested & accused of punching another controller in the face over a minor dispute about work, & they follow efforts by the #FAA to reduce #stress among staff still grappling with January’s catastrophic midair collision of a passenger plane & a military helicopter.

#SCOTUS on Tues blocked a ruling from a federal judge in California that had ordered the #Trump admin to rehire 16k of fired #FederalWorkers who had been on probationary status.
The court’s brief order said the nonprofit groups that had sued to challenge the dismissals had not suffered the sort of injury that gave them standing to sue.

What if brinigng #Musk onboard was just a #Republican #conspiracy to get the public to fight against #EV ?

What makes a successful protest? BRANDING
I know, it sounds dumb (it is), but it's true. 'Black Lives Matter' or 'TIME'S UP' would not have had the kind of support it did without a rallying cry to get behind.
I say this because I think 'HANDS OFF' is good branding. It's working. Yeah, I know it's more nuanced than that. I know it's about oligarchy and public health and security and blah blah blah...
HANDS OFF !! HANDS OFF !! HANDS OFF !! 🇺🇸
