Im so surprised twitter is even still going, surely it's just mostly right wing nutjobs and people yelling at them?
Pretty much yeah, there's still a bunch of news people/pundits there because there's still some important things that get posted occasionally
Very minor detail, but “Tim Onion” is a fake name lol, his real name is Ben Collins. He owns The Onion newspaper (and happens to be dating Kat Abu!)
Oh great, so big media is sponsoring another corpo politician!!!
/s
Tim Onion lmao thats hilarious!
The bravery!
Abugazeleh has been attacked by law enforcement several times while protesting ICE activity and is currently fighting bunk federal charges of conspiracy and assaulting police despite video evidence showing the opposite, while still running her campaign for congress
What have you done to fight the regime this week?
They used Lemmy which is braver than using bluesky, obviously /s
I’ve done a lot, and I know about her actual bravery standing up to the regime. I was only being snarky about this one thing.
