WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

Just signed up for Mastodon. Hope it doesnโ€™t become a dumpster fire like twitter. This feels like that movie where the humans have to go find another planet suitable for life after messing things up on earth.

Key reforms to the Electoral Count Act would close loopholes Trump and his allies tried to exploit in 2020.

This may be our last chance to protect our democracy before the next election.

Please call your senators and urge them to get this done: (202) 224-3121
