I watched The Imitation Game for the umpteenth time today with my kiddo. #AlanTuring #alanturing deserves more attention. He was the #autistic #gay man who saved the world by inventing the computer. His "Christophers" are everywhere now. I am grateful for Alan Turing and his incredible courage. The nazis would have won and tens of millions more people would have died if not for his tenacity and brilliance. #pride Listen to autistic people instead of hating us.

Media wants to tell you one thing. Election results and reality point to something else.

If you have the time and ability, please continue donating to and volunteering for Democrats running for 2024.

I’m sharing this because it is some of the most vile Mein Kampf level #Antisemitism I have seen on Mastodon. Isn’t this place supposed to be better than that?

It is astounding to me how people who espouse Nazi beliefs can actually consider themselves anti-Nazi.

This is indistinguishable from Hitler’s (yimakh shemo) perspective. If you lament that we “didn’t learn our lesson” from the Holocaust or if you, like this poster, consider the Holocaust to be some kind of preemptive justice against us, you are part of the “Hitler was right” crowd even as you delude yourself that you’re anti-Nazi. We see through you. All you’re missing is a swastika armband.

MSM is failing us, but we can amplify the news Americans need to hear:

TFG Wants to Jail His Opponents: “The fact that this conversation isn't on the front of every paper -lead-in for every cable news story, I just don’t understand.

"When TFG threatened -he was going to throw immigrants in jail, “he did that. When he said that he was going to bar Muslims from entering the country, he did that. Pick the most anti-abortion judges, he did that. Now we lost Roe bc of it."

OK, I'll say it. One of the big reasons I like Mastodon is because it has an older crowd.

Young people are annoying.

My takeaway from the SOTU tonight is this: a guy with a speech impediment delivered an hour+ long speech with a handful of stumbles.

Y’all — I’m in my late 30s, scored in the top 2% on board exams, got my first choice in the competitive EM residency match, and make dozens of rapid-fire life and death decisions every day that I work, and I routinely mess up the order of words in common phrases, confuse names, or misspeak a word. Biden is ancient, but his cognition seems pretty damn intact.

People ask why I talk about elections and voting so much.

It’s because there’s always hope.

America, we have 11 months to stop a dictator. Don't be fooled by the familiarity of the fool or by any soft-pedaling of the situation. Trump means us excessive harm.

Nobody in the Democratic Party, including Joe Biden, is perfect. We don't need that and we won’t get it. We need people that will stop this march to autocracy, misogyny, racism, and the deletion of our rights.

One chance, people.

Voters must take Trump seriously and literally. The stakes are that high.

The time has come for America to view voting as a civic responsibility rather than an option.

Compulsory voting drives participation across all groups, neutralizes suppression techniques, and establishes a culture of active political awareness.

Reform is never easy, but the crisis of civic engagement demands bold action.
