Americans have two choices if masked people knock. Fight and give them something to think about, possibly knowing that you will lose the battle, or give up and be disappeared forever. This isn’t a game, it’s not a joke, and it’s very much going to happen if we don’t take a stand and make sacrifices if needed. (2/3)
I need to be pretty real with you, it may actually come down to having to make hard choices in the US in the near future. The threats to rendition American citizens to El Salvador for any reason, much less the specious and blatant lies being trotted out by this fascist regime, require very different calculus going forward.

Do not obey their wishes to stop protesting. Do not obey their direct threat on your speech, morals, and conscience. Make a plan and figure out what you will do if they come for you. This sounds freaking insane to be typing out but the threat is far, far too great to shrug off. A sitting President of the United States is openly saying this is what he plans to do. Get serious and get ready. (3/3)
@i_give_u_worms You can't even mention Luigi Mangione or *upvote posts or comments about Luigi* without potentially facing a ban for violent conduct. It's fucking absurd
Love watching Reddit decide, unforced, to torch their entire brand and supposed values in one fell swoop. Fuck that entire site and fuck it's "leadership." You grew on the backs of millions of users only to become what we all tried to escape from, and I can't wait to watch it crash into the ground. It'll be more comical than the Digg implosion when it happens.
Anyway, use Federated services like #Lemmy and #Kbin everyone and starve Steve Huffman's golden goose.
Hey folks, I really need a new gig. My friends here on the Fediverse are some of the smartest folks I interact with on a daily basis, and I know most of you are doing VERY cool stuff, and I want to join you and help with some of that lift.
If you have a need for a #multicloud#SRE or #infrastructure expert with over 15 years of experience working at scale I am your guy. Don't need that? I love to talk with people and figure out what they need to build the solution they need.
Just gonna let y’all know, if you want a firearm right now is a great time to do it. There are pistol and rifle bundles that are hard to beat right now, and you could get enough ammo to train with for well under $1000. I wouldn’t wait until the billionaires control the government if you are considering getting armed. (1/2)
I have never been more proud to be from the Carolinas in my entire life. The amount of selfless sacrifice from my neighbors and people from other states and cities has been overwhelming.
Met a crew of linesmen helping us out here today, and they are from all backgrounds, political stripes, and codes and their only driving mission is to help us here and it is truly emotional for me.
I talk a lot of shit about the worst of the South, but this isn't one of those times
Please heed this. Don't buy solar, batteries, dehydrated and/or non perishables on Amazon. Where I am this is some of our only options, and usually not for us but we're trying to get supplies to our neighbor y'all. We need everything we can. https://xoxo.zone/@marcprecipice/113224667143646547
@mmasnick No, this still does not work. It will read out as "mathematical bold small <x>" and stuff. Unicode and screenreaders are not site specific, they will read the same regardless of location.
Markdown support would help this significantly, though, and I hope that comes soon.
For now, I would still avoid using unicode tricks for text flourishes.
