It would be good for progressive superstars including but not limited to Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Reps. AOC, Pressley, Tlaib, Omar and rest of the squad to establish their footprints in the #Fediverse. Their base is here - they should join rest of us (while maintaining their presence on the birdsite to take on fascists). If they want to consider themselves cutting edge of digital politics they should do this sooner rather than later. #TwitterMigration #uspolitics

From @washingtonpost’s early 202 newsletter:
“The pattern suggests that tens of thousands of liberals may be leaving the site, while conservatives are joining or becoming more active, shifting the demographics of the site under Musk’s ownership. The changes are in line with a trend that began in April, when Musk announced his intention to buy the company.”
Why Dems should establish presence on platforms like Mastodon. #TwitterMigration

@murshedz @washingtonpost

I wonder what caused Jeffries' surprising boost.

@alltherum @washingtonpost @murshedz Because he's probably going to be minority leader

@anubis2814 @washingtonpost @murshedz Thank you; my mind had wiped that particular fact.

@anubis2814 @washingtonpost @alltherum Thanks for stepping in - agree. Jeffries is most likely getting a small bump because he is stepping into limelight from a relative unknown (at mass level) to the Democratic Leader in the House.
