Hello!

This instance is moving to a new home.

Most of this community started using Twitter to organize and share information shortly after the Presidential election in 2016. It turned into a movement on social media known as #TheResistance.

Our resistance mission came to a successful end with the defeat of Donald Trump. We have realized a new mission is required.

This instance will be closing on March 6, 2021. Today, we will begin migrating to our new home, democracy.town. 1/2

Migration can be done easily. First, if you want to save your settings (blocks, etc.), back them up under Preferences > Import and Export > Request Your Archive. You will import them to your new account.

Then create an account on the new instance. Go to Edit Profile > Moving From A Different Account > enter your current full address.

Then log back into the old account > Edit Profile > Moving To A Different Account > enter your full new account address.

Please ask if you need help. 2/2

Lastly, a huge, major, we ❤ you, thank you to @Stux

He created our new instance for us and gives so much of his personal time to help others.

He took us all in when we first moved to Mastodon and made our experience here so much better and personally taught me a lot. He is a good example of how people should treat other people on social media: kindly.

There should be more like him in this world. See you in the new community!

From U.S. Senator Tina Smith

"Historic progress today. I’ll keep fighting to end the failed and racist policy of marijuana prohibition by working to pass U.S. Senator Kamala Harris’ companion bill in the Senate, as well as my bill to legalize it safely.
At the end of the day, the public overwhelmingly supports legalization but our laws have not kept up. We can legalize marijuana in a smart and safe way.
Read more about my bill:"

1. Too many people don't get the connection between SOCIAL Security, Medicare, highways, dams, airports, roads, fire departments (things that they like) and the social democracy that it takes to run those programs.

2. The republican party has turned into a cult. Hysteria is the theme and socialism is one of the dog whistle buzzwords.

Why Republicans are resorting to anti-socialism hysteria - conservatives will say anything to justify backing a racist, loony president:
