Jennifer TaubGrateful for President Joe Bidenโs statement
Louis Ingenthron@jentaub How long do you think before Elon bans him for "hate speech"?
Devesh ๐ @LouisIngenthron @jentaub he'll ban
Thomas Lee โ
@jentaub Agreed - I think Joe Biden hit exactly the right note.
12foxfire@jentaub How do we get the President, Vice President and other important voices OVER HERE?
Brian Hawthorne@sepfeiffer @jentaub
I just went to https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ and sent the following:
Please create a whitehouse.gov mastodon instance and start posting directly to the public instead of using a private company run by a billionaire.
@jentaub @bhawthorne Iโll go too :)
Emily Sugarloaf@bhawthorne @sepfeiffer @jentaub
Thank you for doing this. I'll do similar! #POTUS #TwitterMigration

@sepfeiffer @ESugarloaf @jentaub Thanks! If enough of us request it, they might actually do it eventually.
@bhawthorne @sepfeiffer @jentaub
I sure hope so! It is REALLY mucky over on the bird now.

Timesnlatte@sepfeiffer @bhawthorne @jentaub done. Also asked that taxpayer dollars not be used to fund Twitter.

That post sent me searching for POTUS's Mastodon acct. before realizing the statement is from Twitter. It would be great to get POTUS, et.al. here as well.

This pretty clearly shows that it really shouldn't be be as hard as it has been should it?

Heidi Li Feldman@jentaub Biden demonstrating the deep divide between Democratic Party and Republican Party. Iโm often critical of the Democratic Party and of Biden, but Iโm never unaware of the ways in which they are much better for all of us than the Republican Party and Trump, DeSantis, Pence (likely contenders for 2024 Republican presidential nomination) are.
edelman_barbara@jentaub me too. Me too.

Sue@jentaub except itโs not hiding. Itโs flaunting.
Jen Resisted@jentaub Likewise. There are not very fine people on both sides.
ยฉ@jentaub What is wrong with some people? ๐คฆ๐ป๐๐ปโ๐ป
lcospito3@jentaub I second this emotion.
TopKnot@jentaub That would severely limit the Republican Party's ability to talk with their true base supporters.
Elen Snyder@jentaub a leader leadsโฆ
Julia@jentaub what on earth js going on in the US for the president to need to tweet this?
vascobraga@juliacreatesjoy @jentaub this, this the point. How did it come to this? Why 30 to 50% of American need to hear this?
ฮฒษth@juliacreatesjoy @jentaub Well, when one political party has been hijacked by neo-Nazis and white supremacists, this is going to happen. It's only going to get worse. They haven't hit rock bottom yet.
The GOP has been flirting with this seedy underbelly of humanity for a while, but something happened in 2016 to make them abandon flirtation and go straight to actual intercourse. Gee. I wonder what it could have been.
Blake Leonard@juliacreatesjoy Ye is a (neo-)Nazi, that's what happened.
@blake Iโve screen shot what I originally replied to put it behind a CW no need for people to see content like this if theyโre trying to have an otherwise nice day
@juliacreatesjoy You could have also pressed "Edit" to add the CW.
@blake I found that out almost moments later! Thank you though thatโs very kind ๐
@blake @juliacreatesjoy so is trump
@jaskot @blake interesting read on that topic https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/is-donald-trump-an-anti-semite
@juliacreatesjoy @blake hey thank you I will read this
Sรฉamus Brady@juliacreatesjoy @jentaub Kanye West saying that he likes Hitler and that we have to stop calling nazis evil.
Noelle@jentaub Thank you!

@jentaub This is an AMERICAN PRESIDENT!
We're Not In Kansas Anymore
Jon Nelson@jentaub Itโs just sad beyond words that this even has to be said.
Zorin =^o.o^=@jentaub It's so insane that this is in any way considered controversial. I swear, 20 years ago a statement like this would have resulted in a "well duh" from 99% of the populace.

David Harlanand it's as easy as "edit" - "detect text from picture"
@jentaub @DavidMHarlan I didn't know about this feature, thanks for the tip!
sometimes you have to clean it up a bit, I left the garbled text in this case in the interest of full disclosure
@DavidMHarlan @jentaub I understood and appreciate that ๐๐ฟ
Jan Bennett@jentaub ๐๐๐
Htaggert@jentaub while I think most ppl should leave that site, I appreciate the President being there.
The Well-read Naturalist@jentaub My father and six of my uncles fought in the Allied Forces in WW2, as did four of my wifeโs uncles, including one who was part of the liberation of a concentration camp. That the President of the United States should now find it necessary (and I think correctly so) to make an official statement declaring that Hitler was evil and that the Holocaust occurred saddens me very deeply indeed, and makes me fear for the intellectual and moral integrity of our society
The Smart-Casual GamerObviously I'm very happy he's said it, but it's so depressing that the US President has to confirm that Nazis are bad and should p*** off.
really? why?@jentaub why is he not on mastodon
subatomicdog@jentaub and every American worker deserves sick days....(wishful thinking)
Chris Marcum ๐@jentaub wondering if i should go back to that platform and fight
@jentaub Yes, but not so grateful that he sided with grasping business interest over rail workers in their entirely reasonable demand for paid sick leave. I like Joe, but he doesnโt deserve a break on this. Itโs a stab in the back from a president who has spoken so boldly and progressively in defense of unions. Talk is cheap.
@jentaub
I wouldn't classify any of our racist politicians, starting with Trump, as leaders. They, in fact, depend on morally bankrupt followers like themselves.

Sam Vekemans@jentaub does anyone know which account is the 'real' Joe Biden here on Mastodon?
PoeticLicenseDK@jentaub OH.
Why doesn't the US Govt officially make the move to the #Fediverse to punish Twitter for policies that run counter to American values?

@PoeticLicenseDK @jentaub totally agree with this
@PoeticLicenseDK @jentaub there should be at the minimum *some* server space thatโs made available for public use. An actual free speech space thatโs protected by the bill of rights, and policed by the DOJ and FTC for terror/ hate speech/ spam. Let USPS host it maybe.
@PoeticLicenseDK @jentaub I wonder if there is any server space available thatโs hosted bye.gov for public use?
