Ain’t this the truth, friends!

So I guess it wasn't a hoax.

GOP operative Jesse Benton found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump's campaign.

(I was being sarcastic. I already knew it wasn't a hoax)

GOP operative found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump

A longtime Ron Paul aide helped a Russian businessman get into a Trump fundraiser; Trump later pardoned him for another campaign finance crime.

The Washington Post

The collapse of Twitter for (basically) self-inflicted reasons makes a strong case for building online infrastructure structured as a non-profit or public utility.

People rely on these platforms for public information, use them for democratic debate and many invest their livelihoods in them.

These platforms are too important to public safety, peoples’ livelihoods and democracy to leave in the hands of eccentric billionaires or the whims of stock markets.

I wish some people in the Labour party would understand that the Tories are the enemy and not one another. Put your time and energy into fighting them. To stop them from ever gaining power again!

Small #FediTip: if you encounter a message or thread that is in any way useful to you, bookmark it straight away.

Since the fediverse doesn't have full text searches, it will be very difficult to find that particular thing again a few days later. Especially if you cannot remember who posted it or it has no hashtags.

Periodically review your bookmarks to do something with them and you should be set.
