In Germany everyone who planned the coup was rounded up in one day last week, thrown in jail.

In U.S., almost 2 years later, we're still finding texts from members of Congress urging Trump to invoke "marshall law." And Trump, leader of the coup, is running for president again.

Weepy bullshit Christian and Missouri Republican Rep. Vicky Hartzler says the real victims in the US are Christians, and not gays.

But her gay nephew Andrew Hartzler knows better. “It's more like you want the power to force your religious beliefs onto everyone else, and because you don't have that power, you feel like you're being silenced.”

Senate-bid-loser Hartzler will be out of a job in January, so expect her to launch a sectarian snake-oil grift on Twatter soon!

Underreported story (more about it tomorrow). The WTO said Trump national security tariffs were illegitimate; the Biden administration (!) told the WTO to stuff it 1/ https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/09/wto-ruling-trump-tariffs-violate-rules-00073282

The “very pro-transparency CEO” who makes his employees sign NDAs kinda reminds me of the “very law and order President” who encourages his supporters to attack the US Capitol and harm the Vice President.

@voron @mekkaokereke @Teri_Kanefield as someone looking at it from an outside perspective, the US does not have a left. Even the most leftist side of the Democratic party would be considered right wing in Europe.

The US has painted itself into a corner where even leftists are required to vote for the right in order to avoid literal extremists to gain power. And even then it's hanging on a thread

A quick thing — can you please boost?

I'm looking for an an artist to commission a character design piece for noncommercial public use. Since this piece would depict an agender character, I would love if a trans or nonbinary artist could be the one I commission!

If you know of anyone who has commissions open that seems a good fit for this, please let me know!

Tonight's another reminder that lots of Republicans will vote for a candidate even though he's a domestic abuser. And even more Republicans will vote for him because he's a domestic abuser.

1. The nation's 100K+ rail workers get ZERO paid sick days

They want FOUR

And are threatening to strike December 9

In response, corporate America is demanding Congress intervene and force them to continue working without any paid sick days

Cricut cutting machines, ubiquitous in schools, libraries and makerspaces, can be used to make embossed or stenciled tactile graphics. A Braille embosser costs at least $1500 — Cricuts cost a fifth of that or less. Today I learned that I can handle the hardware and make great stencils: all that holds a Blind maker back is a set of unlabeled controls in the software. Does anyone know somebody at Cricut I could talk to about making the interface more accessible? Boosters beloved on this one!

Normalize Black people coming to this app being safe to speak their minds. What we bring up might abut internal discomfort and biases that you might hold. That is not the minoritized person’s responsibility, though, to educate you, coddle you, to do the work for you. It is your responsibility to not create yet another space where Black people are marginalized or silenced.
I’ve been calculated about bringing this up and now is the time.💖✊🏽
