#Introduction, Hello Mastodon, I’m a newly minted 65 yr old. Didn’t go to college, went to work. Thirty years in the credit and collections industry, fifteen for law firms. I’m a husband, step-dad & the grandpa of 2 and an uncle of 8. I enjoy good beer, music & love to grill out. #Democrat #Liberal Believer in #liberty & #justice for ALL. #DefendDemocracy
Don’t CW this. I beg you.
My wife is on Instagram. She just did this.
She heard there was weird stuff happening. She searched “#Republican” and “#Democrat”.
She had to do it herself to see if it was true.
It is.
She is beside herself.
This is the 2025 version of marching into CNN and telling them to broadcast only his stuff.
This is him taking over the NYT.
This is new age Oligarchy. This is Authoritarianism. This is Fascism2025.
Edit: we’re in Canada, so this is worldwide? Or NA?

Cribbing this from my first mastodon account, @fnagrom
Triggered #Dems are blocking #history. When did #Biden end the #COVID emergency? 5 11 23. When most #democrat voters were vaxxed! Not that #republican #necropolitics were any better. Trump adopted anti-mask/anti-vax politics bc the first wave of COVID *decimated* Democrat constituencies. R instincts went rabidly anti-mask/anti-vax fast and wet-dreamy. Dems? Masked up and vaxxed! Uh oh, more dead Republicans by 2024! Both parties embraced death, one won. Biden isn't any less ghoulish than #Trump.
Hi everyone. I'm still finding my way around here, but happy to see so many familiar faces!
I'm not good at talking about myself... but I'm a #Fundraising #Copywriter working with #Nonprofits. I'm married, with two adult #queer kids... who are amazingly beautiful, caring, and talented. I'm a #Democrat and worried about creeping fascism and racism.
And I'm happy to meet new people here!
I'm far too fascinated with far too many topics. I've compiled an exhaustive list of hashtags for some of those interests; I'll try to do better about keeping it current and updated.
