@WarnerCrocker I just did watch, even though I keep seeing it and never got to.

It didn't make a dent. It was great, others can benefit, but he won't.

@FediThing Oh good, thanks. I really don't care THAT much. People will find me.

But lists? My Mastodon deck interface is all about lists/columns. I lose those?

I wish this were a country where a serious allegation like this would matter, because it should. But it didn’t matter when it was Anita Hill. It didn’t matter when it was Christine Blasey Ford. This is our America. Heaven help us

"Senators receive affidavit containing new allegations against #Hegseth, who denies the claims

The former sister-in-law of Trump’s defense secretary pick said that Hegseth made his second wife fear for her safety.”

Vindictive putz.

“Within hours of taking office, [Felon] #Trump terminated the Secret Service detail that was assigned to his former national security adviser John Bolton, Bolton confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

I know I'm opening myself up for an onslaught of responses I won't understand, irrelevant replies, and redundant replies, but I'm asking anyway:

I'm considering switching from Mastodon . social to mstdn . social. Stux is awesome, I need to break from zillions of bots as best I can.

I've never tried to transfer before. I have a good guide, but in real life, do followers get moved reliably? Do posts?

Tips?

Everything.

Newsmax's Judge Napolitano says #Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship is "a very troublesome thing he wants to do," adding "if he can nullify that portion of the Constitution, what else can he nullify."

Keep fighting

WaPo:

“Natl Treasury Employees Union, which represents fed govt employees in 37 agencies & depts, has sued #Trump over his order that makes it easier to fire career civil servants & replace them w political loyalists. The complaint calls the order “contrary to congressional intent”… building a govt made up mostly of jobs “in the merit-based, competitive service.”

The suit is one of many filed in the past 24 hours that seek to block Trump from overhauling the federal workforce”

😥Damn. #RIP Jules Feiffer, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter and children’s book author who was one of the most humorously neurotic literary voices of his generation, died Jan. 17 at his home in Upstate New York. He was 95.
The cause was congestive heart failure

@SnowshadowII Do you like your instance? I'm thinking of switching.

I spend hours blocking on this one.

@emd I like the look of it. But can it handle all the idiot bots that pester me all the time? @SnowshadowII

@emd @coop @SnowshadowII TY

#Musk just gave the Nazi salute. Watch him deny what we see with our own eyes.👆🏼

@aaron.rupar

Just saw this.

@dave It they think it would make a difference in the number of bots who follow me, fine. I don't see anything that would do that. @SnowshadowII @mekkaokereke @molly0xfff

Oh no. #RIP to a hero. 😥

So sad to hear that Cecile Richards has passed at just 67 years old. She was a fighter and a stalwart for the rights of women, just like her mom. Thankfully she lived to see a president affirm the #equalrightsamendment as the 28th Amendment.

That Chief Justice Roberts will administer the oath of office to a man who has broken it in the past & undoubtedly will again, the presidency he made possible, pretty much symbolizes the whole day for me.
