Many people have switched from Twitter to Mastodon, but not everyone who followed me before on Twitter knows that I'm active here also. Will you help me increase my reach on Mastodon? Share this post, boost it or comment and let me know why you're following me. Maybe with some smart hashtags. Thank you! 👍 😊

Stop worshipping billionaires.

Elon Musk threw away tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter, and has spent the last year running it into the ground.

When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

Get out and vote, people. We will continue to see these small-minded, homophobic decisions unless we clean house. It will take a generation at least. I hope voters have the stamina and patience.

Then people can force cases like these back up where they can be overturned. These yahoos have established there is no such thing as precedent, anyway.

Been thinking about the political storm over #SocialSecurity and #Medicare. A good example of where #journalists could step out of the political spin frame to answer the questions worrying Americans.

Imagine #journalism that set out the financial realities, what options are on the table (and what other ideas might work) and pushed persistently for answers from administration and Congress — ie accountability. So far, most of the reporting seems to about partisan blaming.
