I know it's just idealistic musings, but I wonder what would happen if all the people Republicans are trying to hurt (women, people of color, LGBTQ, Jews, Muslims, immigrants, seniors, the poor and middle class) simply stopped having anything to do with any Republican?

"Trump also backed off on his previous threats to use the debt ceiling to extract concessions from Democrats. The Republican party has spent months grabbing headlines by attacking drag queens is now represented by one in Congress, Santos." As Heather put it, "sort of roundup of a whole lot of stories."

Opinion:

I am gonna say a thing.
Might be controversial.
CoSo is a self curated space. We all be different. We have many tools to use to do said curation, Mute and Block. Lists and Hashtags. There is no reason to call out another's opinion cruelly. Just silently mute or block, and move on. If you try and discuss a topic, and communication breaks down, just mute or block.

Everyone has reasons.
Nobody knows about.

Life offers a cruel choice: You can be always right, or happy. Not both.

A third country mediator in Russia-Ukraine negotiations says that Russia is doubtlessly planning a second full-scale attempt at capturing all of Ukraine, including Kyiv and the western regions “some time very soon” with an army of 250K conscripts whose invasion will come from three directions simultaneously: South, South-East and North from across the border with Belarus

“A Republican lawmaker in North Dakota introduced a bill that would fine people $1,500 if they refer to trans people using their correct pronouns, rather than the pronouns they were assigned at birth.”

The bill is so poorly written, even REPUBLICANS are saying to vote no one it.

The bill’s author struggles to explain how it will be enforced.

I got new math rocks!

What the fuck is wrong with people

My last part time job was as a security guard. Worked both armed and unarmed. At various assignments. One such was as a night watchman at a small mall. I just heard that an employee at said mall was attacked in the parking garage about two blocks away, after doing late night inventory. The guard on duty, refused to escort her. As it was his lunch time. He got fired.

The woman is ok, minor wounds.

The company called me to see if I would come back.
Nope.

Meanwhile over on the bird site... Pink Floyd updated their profile picture to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dark Side of the Moon, and the replies are… something.

Just sayin’…… 😂

The story of MAGA Republican Congressman-elect George Santos keeps getting worse. His entire life appears to be a lie -- and now it appears he may be funded by foreign adversaries. This fraud is a threat to national security. https://youtu.be/4wuWwlGjV_4
