Censorship, Weaponizing Anti-Semitism & Getting Fired for Criticizing #Israel

Katie Halper getting fired from #The_Hill for criticizing #Israeli_apartheid as well as the ongoing cynical weaponization of anti-Semitism to discredit advocacy for #Palestinian human rights.

@terryenglish Well, I think Eli Lily would disagree about it being fun. But I'm enjoying it. lol

@terryenglish I've been using this a lot over on the bird app. Some hilarious stuff going on.

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Check them out!

Many humble thanks to the more than six thousand new FSF followers on Mastodon! Mastodon is certainly a step up in terms of your freedom, and we are happy to have you here! Thank you and "Happy hacking!"

A system that doesn't address the needs for climate justice and securing human rights is a system that has failed everyone – we need to keep both in mind.
Human rights and climate movements are stronger when we stand in solidarity together. Then we can also successfully push those in power to live up to significantly increased adaptation finance and immediately, drastically reduced greenhouse gas emissions. There is no climate justice without social justice and human rights.

Here's my prediction: After Twitter falls apart, Melon Husk will run a Mastodon instance for his fans and claim to have invented it.

@terryenglish Software.

The software, by default, won't talk to a server it hasn't seen in a week. It will start talking again when it hears from the remote server.

Which is following the exact same logic.

Corporations hold too much power in the global economy. Buy local. Buy used. Make use of what you already have or can find. Look for independent media.

I'm saying this out loud as much to y'all as to myself. I find myself consuming too much, especially from corporations. I need to do better. We need to do better. So. Shop at your friend's small business. Support the arts. Small is good.

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.
