163 years without a civil war, it's been a good run. Note I'm not knocking this effort, but the lines in the sand are being drawn...

I think it's easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say "I want to move to X country" but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it's really not that hard

Congrats, you've been played into infighting with the only legitimate opposition to Republicans, very cool 👌

The problem is that they have been brainwashed by 30 years of right-wing media to convince them to never believe anything Democrats say ever. We could tell them literally everything they want to hear and they would say we're lying, or nod along and then go vote for the Republican anyway

Dems are not standing by, they just ran a whole goddamn election. That they were/are bad at that is not in question. You can be mad at them all you want for losing but don't act like they didn't try to warn us and do something about it

Sorry to go all doom and gloom, but I have this sinking feeling that despite their best efforts, progressive US states will be unable to prevent LGBT people from being rounded up after the Holocaust machine is done with the illegal immigrants. The window is closing

As someone with formal education in electrical engineering, electricity is magic and we are wizards

Who are these people who vote for abortion access AND Trump? Does that make your vote for fascism okay?

If you don't vote for Harris it's effectively a vote for Trump, and Trump has publicly said he would help Netanyahu finish the job. That's the choice we are facing

It's called being realistic about what president can do with their powers. She absolutely should encourage Congress to pass legislation as that is much more permanent and effective than executive orders
