Hi Mastodon friends. Still trying to get the hang of this, but wanted to share Civil Discourse (my newsletter on Substack) from tonight, which is timely for our migration from Twitter & for the midterms. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/too-sensitive?sd=pf
Too Sensitive?

Today, Twitter, for a while, marked one of my tweets as “sensitive” and some people couldn’t see it. I wanted to make sure you all saw it, so I’m sharing it here, on Civil Discourse. It’s actually not my tweet I want you to see, but rather the thread from Mark Jacob.

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance
@JoyceVance heya - if you need some help, I'd be glad to explain how all of this works.
Lying is what caused the Holocaust. There should be more penalty for lying.
@JoyceVance
I subscribe to your substack, but it was still nice to see your post here. If there is indeed a mass migration to Mastodon, it will be because of clear heads and powerful words like yours. That's my hope anyway. The amount of trolls on Twitter in the last two days is astounding and depressing. Thank you.
@JoyceVance Your insights are always appreciated. And yes, preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. Eyes wide open. No time to be complacent. #voteblue
@JoyceVance
I am so happy you are on Mastodon! I started listening to Sisters in Law after leaving the Bird. I will add you to substack list as well. One small blue dot in the very red state of AL!!💙💙💙💙
@JoyceVance so glad you migrated over here! Will you be posting recipes too?? 😁

@JoyceVance Love you on MSNBC. You are so knowledgeable and smart, I always perk right up when I hear your name. How probable do you think is it that the DOJ indicts Trump between now and November 15th when Trump will purportedly announce his run for 2024?

Hi Joyce, We love hearing your thoughts, especially on The Beat.

@JoyceVance Hi Joyce! Happy to find you here.
@JoyceVance I too am just getting the hang Mastodon. (And STILL am struggling…. But I’m SO glad I found you here! I followed you on Twitter and watch you on TV. I just deactivated my Twitter account today. I’ve had enough… I hope I can find at least some of the folks here that I followed there!
@JoyceVance Where'd you go? I see you're still embedded in twitter, so I guess that hot rush of maga attention still has you in its grasp.
@JoyceVance
Happy to see you here! I have left twitter and am a newbie to Mastodon

Hi Joyce. I encourage you to be more active on Mastodon. I get your free Substack articles along with 20+ others, can't afford to subscribe to all at $50 a pop. But yours is always a good read and I may cave some day.

At least post links to the free ones here.

Meanwhile, on your latest:

https://joycevance.substack.com/p/unresolved-questions-the-fbi-and

"whether the FBI fully appreciates the domestic terror threat the country faces from right-wing groups."

I say the individuals in question are PART of the threat.

Unresolved Questions: The FBI and January 6

Earlier this week, reporting surfaced about a dispute between federal prosecutors and the FBI over whether to seek a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago. The dispute dragged on for months and resulted in what the reporting characterizes as a “tense showdown” in late July between agents and prosecutors, before prosecutors ultimately won out and the search warrant was obtained and executed on August 8, resulting in the recovery of 103 classified documents.

Your latest post on #CivilDiscourse RE: Chauvin's public trial was spot on - "People learned more about the arguments that were being made and the process the courts use for deciding issues like this. It is more difficult to pass off disinformation about a proceeding that the public has full access to. It is in the best interests of the country to provide it. It must happen here, with Trump".
