#GunSafety is on my mind.
Loosey/goosey gun laws are dangerous for many reason.
One reason is that we - esp law enforcement - do not have the xperience & skill to respond.

Two years ago a group of us brought together over 70 musicians from #Liverpool. With permission from Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, we recorded our own version of their classic "Do They Know It's Christmas" with all proceeds going to Shelter for the homeless and Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
We reached Number 1 at the time, and while every sale still goes to charity, feel free to just play this & share it.

CounterSocial has no algorithm, which means it's on you to define your content experience accordingly. Mute or block anyone who harshes your mellow, and use filters to omit topics that you'd prefer not to see.
It takes a bit of work, but it's well worth the effort. Seasoned CoSo users will simply bookmark the link below and curate their feeds on the fly. As an added bonus, filters can be TEMPORARY. #CoSoTips

The 10 richest people on Earth have as much wealth as the bottom 3 billion.
To put in another way, 10 people have as much wealth as 40% of the other people on Earth.
That’s obscene.
That’s outrageous.
That’s hoarding.
That’s a monopoly.
That’s the problem, in a nutshell.
@WILDKATZ Thank you! I live in Wisconsin - lots of political problems. Was a LCSW, then a stay at home mom. Now, preoccupied with 16 mon grandchild! Obsessed by politics.
What about you?!?
@JMW123 Found you! I haven't decided between CoSo, POST, and Mastodon. Twitter fits my perceptual style best, but looks like it will selfdestruct.

BREAKING: Twitter has dissolved its Trust & Safety Council in its entirety, per a new internal email.
The Council focused on Online Safety and Harassment, Human and Digital Rights, Suicide Prevention and Mental Health, Child Sexual Exploitation, and Dehumanization on Twitter.
@WILDKATZ Hey! I figured out how to reply! It's a pleasure to meet you.

I was reading an article about Marvin Gaye regarding his superb album, What's Going On.
About the album, he said...
"Human rights … that’s the theme."
That was in 1971.
51 years later and sadly that's still the theme in this country.
