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.

Peace!

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

Evil is ascendant at this moment in history, and civility is its plaything.
-- Walter Shaub (@waltshaub (Dec 2018)) -
Axios: "Guardrails against racist, xenophobic or dehumanizing rhetoric have all but vanished on the American right. What was once disqualifying — or the exclusive domain of online trolls — is now a fixture of national political discourse."
This is due to Donald Trump and to Republican Party politicians not criticizing Trump for his #racism.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump was just being frank when he called a woman reporter "Piggy."
JoJoFromJerz wrote to Karoline Leavitt: "I hope you can appreciate my frankness: You’re the clearance-sticker end-cap sex doll at a Dollar Tree for dictators with erectile dysfunction. Glossy-eyed, hollow-headed, and shrink-wrapped in synthetic virtue. The only thing missing is a pull string that screams ‘Fake News’ and moans ‘Jesus saves’ on a loop.”

“Politeness blunts the tongue of criticism, ridicule, satire or irony. On the other hand, radical rudeness breaks down the doors to the arsenal of verbal, literary, and linguistic devices available to launch a counterattack against corrupt militant brutes in government who use bullets, prison sentences, and mass graves to silence their opponents.“

The nice thing about #Mastodon is the ease with which one can block #trolls and types who lack basic #civility. Truth is you know little or nothing about me nor I of you.
I responded to your comment I believe with courtesy and yet you chose to ridicule me. It appears you don’t believe in the exchange of ideas, rather you prefer a scorched earth policy of sneers and dismissal as being the best way to persuade. I think you’ll find that is not the path to success

Yes—good on #StanfordLaw and #Cornell : But I wish that Dean #Martinez and President #Pollack had made clear that each acceptance of an offer of admission or a teaching contract entails / implies a commitment to #Civility : Faculty and students could co-facilitate events after controversial appearances like #JudgeDuncan ‘s, or discussion sections following incidents of #Triggering in their courses.

"Nowadays, though, the House Republican Conference has a whole contingent of Joe Wilsons: boorish loudmouths whose lack of impulse control is only matched by their desire for attention. Don’t hold your breath waiting for them to face a reprimand for their shouts and jeers last night. Biden encountered several 'You lie!'-like objections without batting an eye or missing a line in his scripted remarks."

Amanda Carpenter writes,
"Back in 2009, when South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson yelled 'You lie!' in the middle of an address by President Barack Obama to a joint session of Congress, sensibilities were shocked. Wilson’s outburst became a days-long story, and he was formally reprimanded by the House."

Glen Greenwald going out of his way on Twitter to find fault with Mastodon gives me hope in this place. He says it's for the easily offended but at least it's not for the offensive. The funny thing is all his responders agree with him, so those he's trying to provoke have gone. Twitter/Mastodon is clearly dividing into those that just spew hate and those that like a good but civilised argument.
