Call to action for Matthew Rushin - #BlackAutisticLivesMatter
Matthew Rushin is a young black autistic man from Virginia who has been unjustly sentenced to 50 years in prison with 40 years suspended for a NONFATAL traffic accident, and who has already been incarcerated for 16 months.
I have seen a lot of posts about this on other platforms, but not Mastodon. If you have the time and resources, here are ways you can help. #FreeMatthewRushin #BlackAutisticLivesMatter #BlackAutisticLivesMatter

@purple @johnpierremaeli like it’s kind of frustrating how backwards the usa is- since most americans aren’t well informed about how other countries work, and peoplec in other countries assume the usa can’t possibly be that bad because it’s so rich snd says it’s so great all the time— it’s particularly difficult to point out how especially fucked it is
Give money to Black people.
Carlin is a Black Queer southern organizer who is trying to buy back their ancestral farmland in North Carolina. Their initial GoFundMe goal was met, but their offer to the bank was countered at a much higher number. This is how whites have kept Black people from property ownership since the Civil War.
If you can, especially if you are white, please consider donating to help Carlin reclaim this land.

Why Twitter is Awful, Halfway Dadaist, Hilarious yet Sad, Pol-adjacent
So apparently some idiot right-winger (who happened to be a furry) made a post about how they saw a trend between people with furry avatars showing their teeth, and those same accounts showing left-leaning politics and ideals. I mean, never mind about the correlation, because this individual started the hashtag "socialistteeth".
This resulted in, not only the predictable joy of furries leaning into the tag, but an *immense* confusion of MAGA-bots, who boosted that hashtag hard enough that /it started to trend/.
The resulting confusion intermixed with mildly horny furry interaction has been a collision of words and pysops gone wrong that I just can't look away from.
Hey, @zebratron2084, is this one of your plans? Because I /love/ it.
