“‘They don’t have control of their own country,” Trump told Esper. When Esper objected, Trump responded ‘no one would know it was us’ and ‘we could just shoot some Patriot missiles and take out the labs, quietly.’”

Sorry to be dense, but where do I send a support request? I subscribed just before the big push and thought I activated my CounterSocial subscriptions self-service portal. I clicked on the portal link today https://subscriptions.counter.social/portal/countersocialportal but all I see is "Enter a password that you wish to use for this service" and "Invalid Request" - I have my password, but there is no place to enter and no reset button either

Periodic reminder that you are entirely free to block people on social media for any reason, including that you simply find them disagreeable or annoying, and no one has the right to criticize you for it, and internalizing this will make your SM experience immensely better.

The only reason conservatives hate sharia law is because they weren't the ones who thought of it first.

And they only use it as boogeyman because it's a racist dog whistle.

"Oh we're not being racist because Islam isn't a race. But we still need to ban all Muslims because of sharia law."

Could be a double edged sword. But I think it’s going to be more like when you go to pick out a rock to skip on the water. And you chose one that’s not quite the right shape. So when you go to throw it, it just plops. Anyway, enjoying the honesty from our institutions. Honestly.

@Gambit_1

An inflated follower count is the social media equivalent of a push-up bra.

@Gambit_1 I remember when he was. It was shocking at the time. And has been proven an absolute disaster. A truly disgusting man.

Because he's a bigot and a coward.
Madison Cawthorn doesn't belong in any position of authority, let alone Congress. He is weak, incompetent, and completely lacking in moral courage. He is a grown man who insists on being treated like a child. That is what deserves our scorn and accountability and nothing else. [5 of 5]

Oh man….Madison Cawthorn is going thru some things! Considering the fact that he had all kinds of vicious and vile things to say about the LGBTQ community….I’m calling it karma! 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lawmakers ban pro-Russian parties.

“ Enslavers enforced control over enslaved women’s reproduction through various means. One way they ensured the production of a laboring population was through breeding. Slave breeding involved forced relationships between enslaved men and women, and rape of enslaved women by white enslavers, overseers, and slave drivers. Enslaved women also received incentives, although very limited, for reproducing and raising children on the plantation.”
