My girlfriend @SabiLewSounds.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy is a brown person, who's part of an #immigrant brown family and she's fighting to keep herself and her mom and bun safe. I implore you, if you speak against #racist rhetoric, help me in #advocating for the #survival of this #homeless family.

#Democrats #bet #VicePresident #KamalaHarris will move #left as #president.
Some #progressives, however, are disappointed the #Harris #campaign thinks she needs to move to the #center to be more #competitive against #Trump. They think she would win more #votes by #advocating for #bigger and #bolder #reforms.

I was reflecting with my husband on the situation where other kids’ behavior was #triggering me and my son on Saturday. He was firm in #advocating for his needs, did so in a socially acceptable manner, didn’t melt down when ignored, and completed his event immediately after in fine form.
He’s struggled and battled a lot of ableism and ignorance in schools, but with great support has built up his skills and #resilience. I’m really proud of him. ❤️

#PublicFigures and #Allies:
In both the 1970s and today, public figures and allies have played #crucial #roles in #opposing these #discriminatory #measures. #HarveyMilk and other #leaders were #instrumental in #defeating #Proposition6, while today, various #politicians, #celebrities, and #activists continue to #standup against the #RepublicanParty's #antiLGBTQ+ #legislation and #rhetoric, #advocating for #equality and #acceptance.

#37 in the list of things I shouldn't have to say but apparently because this is 2023 I have to be #explicit about.
If I say that your #conclusion is #incorrect because of #faulty #assumptions or because of #mistaken #facts or for any other reasons, it does NOT mean I believe in or am #advocating for whatever the opposite of that conclusion happens to be.
They're #orthogonal.
After an amazing workshop with #hotosm at @foss4g we got to test the new Field mapping tasking manager and we gave a lot of feedback on what can be better and a lot of ideas came out during the session.
The most important thing that came out during the workshop was that we need to promote and push Open Source projects to actually use open source software. No Open Source project should use Slack when there is Mattermost or Github when there is Gitlab.
Us hacktivists of @OpenLabsAlbania are doing what we can to promote FLOSS but it is a collective struggle so let's push harder. ✊
