King Chuck did a great job, IMO. His daggers were undoubtedly too subtle for Fucko to understand them, but he made strong (polite) statements for #ClimateCrisis, #Ukraine, #civility, maintaining historical alliances, and following our Constitution and the rule of law (based on British law) — none of which is prevalent in this administration. -

If I was to nominate the two things I find most striking about Mastodon they'd be:
1. the ability to edit posts after posting; this (as my followers will know) is a facility that I use a lot (and thanks to my great crew of typo spotters);
2. the norm of civility that we all maintain; of course trolling & slamming is not completely absent, but at least in my timeline & discussions/conversations civility have been the over-riding characteristic of my exchanges.

Be the Example You Want Our Politicians to Be
Internal party politics is beset with a psychopathic culture. It is hard for many people to be in that culture, so they don't participate.
With the TDG, you can participate more collaboratively. You will enjoy solving problems in this way:

Book Chapter in Civility Unbound
The idea of civility is predicated on a well-structured society that has norms that should benefit everyone. This essay questions whether such a society exists in the United States and whether what we call “civility” is simply a euphemism for “control.”

"ICE agents can’t make warrantless arrests in Oregon unless there’s a risk of escape, US judge rules" by @AssociatedPress - US federal judge in Portland issued a preliminary injunction which will remain in effect while a lawsuit on the matter proceeds. Similar federal court rulings are also in effect in Colorado and DC. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-warrantless-arrests-ice-oregon-lawsuit-f21f3856e3c60e283e7be4bac1f04272 #USpol #UScourts #ICE #CivilRights #civility #Oregon #PNW

Humanity 101 for the billionaire class
“Those who have more than they need must consider themselves a debtor to those who have less.”* — Saint Basil the Great (*quote text was updated to be more inclusive and relevant in 2026)
Source: thehill.com——-
Charity – be a Mackenzie Scott, who gives generously without expectations. And by the way, political donations do not count as charity — those are self-serving.
Civics – community involvement pertains to voting, participating, speaking up, and especially paying your fair share in taxes. It does not pertain to bullying, taking advantage, using your wealth to get your way, or misusing the tax system.
Empathy – show empathy towards others who may be less fortunate than you or who may be suffering. Frankly, being a billionaire should include the “required responsibility” of being sympathetic towards the plight of others.
Gratitude – instead of expecting or receiving platitudes, express gratitude to those who helped you succeed, because it is NEVER done alone. Your co-workers, family, friends, employees, investors, and customers all played a part in success. Also show gratitude by paying a living wage, charging fair prices, and operating your organizations in a honest, equitable, and forthright manner.
Modesty – believe it or not, the world does not revolve around billionaires. Prioritize your own personal growth ahead of seeking validation from others. And…ostentatiousness is not a virtue.
Relevancy – scads of money does not necessarily make one relevant, but one’s humanity does.
Responsibility – take responsibility for your actions, especially the mistakes and certainly do not pin blame on others. Like it or not, when you are the head honcho the buck stops with you.
Self-reflection – surround yourself with people who are open and honest with you. The goal should be to always strive for improvement and to successfully pass Humanity 101.

JEFF: Man is the only animal that learns by being hypocritical. He pretends to be polite and then, eventually, he becomes polite.
