Someone who might be alive when shit hits the fan harder probably will be more invested in the cause than someone who’s got one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel.
Yeah, we know Mastodon isn’t censoring people. That’s why we need to call our politicians, so they know too. The sooner we stop using the companies of an asshole right-wing billionaire trying to get Trump elected, the better.
You’re welcome. And I just wish it was actually viable to drop Twitter/X. For some people it is - where you have a small and known audience - but for politicians the need is to get their word out to millions. They’re sadly bound by where the userbase is.
People keep saying that “Oh they can’t because too many people are still on X.” But like, how do you think communities grow?
Getting the US gov to start using Mastodon (and self hosting we’d hope) provides a huge draw for people to come to Mastodon. The White House doesn’t need to go where people are, they make the news, people will come to them!
Of all Fediverse alternatives, like Lemmy or PeerTube, I belive Mastodon has the most chance of FAST grow, if the White House, or any important political figure publishes there, journalist will be in no time following, since they rather be close to the source, and mentioning Mastodon on their articles and/or headlines.
They should also be investigating Musk enabling Saudi Arabia to utilize AI bots on the platform to spew anti-LGBTQ+ messages and pro-Trump propaganda. I’m surprised the FBI hasn’t already got a subpoena to investigate. Hopefully when they investigate this issue they’ll also look deeper.
At this point in time it isn’t enough. Republicans and the conservative justices will find whatever loopholes there are. They need to be advocating to change the role of the Supreme Court to an advisory agency only, where they have no decision-making powers.
The SCOTUS is necessary in a functioning system of checks and balances on power amongst the three branches of the federal government. The problem we have now is a court stacked with looney judges subverting the will of the people. We need a more effective means of maintaining balance in the court.
I personally just refuse to give Musk the business or his site any more legitimacy. He’s proven repeatedly that we can’t trust him, as the article you posted is another case in point. The fact that the site has some utility isn’t why many of us question why people still use it.
See ya, bitch, enjoy prison! Democrats/Independents aren’t corrupt. We don’t want our leaders committing crimes, no matter which side they’re a part of.
I asked this earlier, but do we have any idea if this was gross incompetence, gross cowardice, or they wanted it to happen? How do you note that the gunman is on the roof for 20 minutes, have another officer from local PD back down when he has a gun pointed at him and still they do nothing
Just like all of Trump’s election fraud cases (over 60 of them), this will be immediately thrown out as superfluous and/or for inability to provide any evidence.
Dems haven’t even held the convention to nominate yet, so GOP can keep cryin’ until November.
I thought most people were finally pissed about tip culture in America. Why do Republicans suddenly care about tips? How about Democrats promise to raise minimum wage & provide paid family leave?
I can run a business where no customer pays me. I only suggest the tip amount before I do the work, and if they don’t give me the suggested tip amount then I say I won’t be able to do the job.
