Feels to me what even our #Ohio officials are trying, suppressing voting, gerrymandering, moving against referenda that we voted in.

"More importantly, the story is always this: authoritarian regimes can fail at everything, and they often do, but they survive as long as they succeed at one thing: the suppression of political alternatives."--Stephen Kotkin

Few people in the world less qualified than #Ohio GOPers

Absolutely "not nervous," disgusted as hell. Friend who is a travel agent in Scandinavia says, "we can find plenty of democracies to visit."

@joelle

And I just can't imagine that anyone 'round here would have the tech skills to call with cloaked phone numbers.

Again "would never suggest" that!

@TonyStark

These are the younger generation of Reagan supporters who swallowed the idea of "welfare queens" so GOP could cut gov't spending that helped even those supporters. Nothing makes them happier than thinking they are hurting someone who doesn't look like them, live like them.

@Wileymiller @Lazarou @GottaLaff

Our POTUS looked like a senile Mafioso.

Apologies to the Mafia

@jschauma

Thanks for posting, having a hard time finding such info!

I hope he carries a guilty conscience for the rest of his days. Even he may wish that those days are fewer not more.

Pitt, where I believe polio vaccine was invented.

But food prices, that's too hard for "Dictator on Day One" & his band of minions

I haven't noticed a change.

Libraries are at the mercy of publishers regarding ebook pricing. Not Overdrive.

There are numerous former public libriarians who work at Overdrive, they don't regard it as an evil place.

There's another similar company Cloudlibrary. I imagine their pricing stucture is similar cuz it's the publishers' game.

@rabbit_fighter @sidereal @susankayequinn @WeirdWriter @futurebird

Libraries don't have a lot of great licensing models to choose from, it's all about publishers' finances.

@darnell

Ohio is pathetically GOP. We live under a GOP oligarchy.

@hannah

Uh what does nine nails means?

I'm in the dark but not in my basement.

@emily @hannah

I'd like to see the name with metric measurement!

Nine Centimeter Nails perhaps??? 😆

@stux

Fascists gonna fascist.

Angry ignorant whites, fired up with resentment & feeling they've lost their privilege in society, in the workplace, with women too.

I can imagine the Convicted Felon organizing them into today's brown shirts, his own paramilitary.

@georgetakei

I love this guy

@stux

Your thoughts on this?

Myself, I have never owned an Apple phone.

@stux

Maybe a dumb question here. . . can I use gram social w/ my mastodon coffee credentials or do I need to make a gram social account? ❓
