you know those photos where it's like the person's neck looks the wrong length and it's been badly photoshopped? except it's probably not photoshopped actually.

I'm a parent with a 9-month old baby looking to chat with other parents. Can you recommend fedi accounts of parents with younger children who talk about parenting? (There may be many silent parents on here.)

Bonus points if they ride bikes / avoid cars, are passionate about climate justice, are COVID conscious / interested in public health, or concerned about LLMs & surveillance capitalism (all relatively common on fedi no doubt, despite conditions in the outside world).

Remember before I transitioned and people would put those "everyone wishes they were the other gender <NO THEY DON'T>" memes and I was like, well that's not true, *I'm* cis and I often wish I was a different gender

I think I might have even said so once in reply then thought I was being "rude" and deleted it immediately

"The President and Vice President must be impeached, convicted, and removed."

On July 1, active duty air force Major Jason Watson held a powerful speech in Washington D.C. calling for the removal of Trump and JD Vance.

He then walked up the stairs and held a protest sign before being arrested by capitol police.

Full speech:

I was living in Germany in the 1980s. They sold sponges specially for cleaning dead insects off the windscreen.
I'm in Yorkshire now, but they were still needed when we returned around 1990.
Not any more 🫤

Again:
1. Trump's most popular policy among his supporters *by far* are his "immigration policies"

2. His immigration policies are by definition, ethnic cleansing policies. They were devised by white nationalists who self-described their sole purpose as "turning the USA into a white ethnostate."

3. White American voters are the only group of US voters that support these ethnic cleansing policies at more than 50%. Black, Asian, non-white Hispanic, and Indigenous people all reject these ethnic cleansing policies.

4. Trump supporters are willing to give up every other policy to make sure that this one happens, as they view it as existential. They are willing to pay to do this.

Alternatively, one might take an "originalist" approach to the holiday and focus on the birth of American independence. But then you risk engaging with uncomfortable ideas like separation of powers, checks and balances, the rule of law, accountability of leaders, and other such woke distractions.
