Trump has rolled back a Biden order that mandated negotiations to the lower cost of drugs for people using Medicare and Medicaid, per MorePerfectUnion.

I would like a Trump supporter to tell me if they/them pronouns are more or less egregious than a Nazi salute.

“We can’t build the country together and be against everybody. I think the best thing to do is for Americans to actually be embracing Americans,” said the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, whose 1898 Supreme Court case helped guarantee birthright citizenship: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/wong-kim-ark-birthright-citizenship-trump-executive-order-rcna188481

One of the promises Trump definitely wants fulfilled is that “we won’t have to vote again”.

He will never leave office and we won’t have control of our votes. Look at existing authoritarian models. The plan is starting to go into action. Anyone who thinks we’re going to easily turn this around, think again.

Democrats told people democracy was on the line. We all very clearly told you.

Overconfident humans who don’t listen to anybody else scare the hell out of me.

That time in 2009 when Donald Trump took out a full-page NYT ad with other business leaders calling on President Obama for aggressive #climate action:

“If we fail to act now, it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic & irreversible consequences for humanity & our planet.”

Well, if your first priority is pardoning criminals in order to expand your own crime spree, you'd better have the tech overlords & media moguls on speed dial so that the majority of Americans will never be able to notice or comprehend what it is taking place in their country.

Timeline’s got a bit unwieldy again so creating a smaller list of mostly mutuals to give it a more homely feel for the time being.

#SelfCare Tip

Make an ongoing list of positive actions that are within your power to take.

They can be financial, like donating to your local food bank; they can be about volunteering with an organization or helping a neighbour; they can be as simple as checking in with a vulnerable friend. Whatever works for you.

When you feel overwhelmed, give yourself the gift of doing something from the list and making a difference.

I really do this. It's the duct tape that holds my life together.

Trump gave pardons to hundreds of violent Jan. 6 rioters. Here's what they did.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would likely impose sanctions on Russia if its president, Vladimir Putin, refuses to negotiate about ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump gave no details on possible additional sanctions.

This could be your script for doctors if they are complying in advance re: contraception, hormone replacement.

We're all taught the ethics of medicine -- beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, autonomy.

Fiduciary responsibility to our patient first.

Granted this shouldve been done for wearing a mask in healthcare settings.

"With all due respect and keeping in mind you've been there for me in the past, keeping in mind that the first ethical code of resisting fascism is to not comply in advance, and your medical ethical responsibilities to me as a patient re: beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, & autonomy...

Why comply in advance with a decision you know will harm me?"

"Watch this—I'll pound my hand against my chest and then fling out my right arm, palm flat, just like Hitler, and I'll practically mouth the words 'Sieg Heil!', and then I'll do it AGAIN exactly the same way, and the press still won't be sure it was a Nazi salute."

In the last few weeks Social Web Foundation partner Meta has:

💀 Donated $1 million to the inauguration fund of the new fascist dictator
💀 Fired its fact-checkers
💀 Changed its hate-speech rules to allow calling women "household objects", Mexicans "pieces of shit" and trans folk "mentally ill"
💀 Killed its DEI programs
💀 Made its workplaces more hostile to trans employees
💀 Hosted an "AI Hitler"
💀 Censored links to fellow Social Web Foundation partner Pixelfed
💀 Subjected users to force-follows of the rulers of the fascist regime
💀 Suppressed searches of Democrat-associated topics

Yet the Social Web Foundation continues to accept Meta as a partner in good standing, and more to the point, continues to accept Meta's money. And the SWICG - The WC3's ActivityPub working group - continues to offer Meta a seat at the table for discussions on the future of the fediverse. Why?

Well, at least there is this: "Expungement is a judicial remedy that is rarely granted by the court and cannot be granted within the Department of Justice or by the President. Please also be aware that if you were to be granted a presidential pardon, the pardoned offense would not be removed from your criminal record."
