I farm for post/reply likes, not followers.
I vet followers. Heavy on blocking. If you have fewer than 10 posts and hundreds of followers, I will block you.
And I also frequently report toxic replies to moderation.

Our politics nationally and here in Texas is now firmly in the grip of a narrow, petty tribalism that feeds on enmity. Each day brings new horrors; scrolling through social media inevitably becomes doom-scrolling.
But they can't extinguish our light.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

As the DOJ’s anti-voting lawsuits multiply, so do its mistakes.
Misspellings, grammatical errors, unresolved notes, these missteps are no longer silly blunders, they’re eroding the DOJ’s credibility. But it might just be the gift that keeps on giving.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

Tate just lost against a no-name boxer (badly). Guess violence isn't so easy to enact when you don't have a fifty-pound advantage and the element of surprise.
It doesn't make up for the damage he's done, but it's heartening his seized assets will be used to combat violence against women and girls.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

So, you ask, if they can’t just do a simple thing like release the files as the law requires, how can we trust them to do hard things like run the economy and keep us safe?
The answer, of course, is that we can’t. We can never trust they can and will do the right thing.
