Type louder.

Pixelfed will never introduce ads. Ever.

Multiple acquisition offers this year? All declined. Another one last week? Also declined.

I built Pixelfed for the people, not shareholders.

That's why we're exploring Web Monetization - direct creator payments with zero privacy compromise.

I won't sell out now, or ever.

I love you too much, and am forever grateful for you helping me come out and become the dev I always dreamed of ❤️

I’m not wild about the implicit cynicism here, partly because it blames all of Congress for things the Republican majority is jamming through, but more because it assumes that our founders actually created a Representative democracy.

Feel like Congress doesn’t care what you want? You’re right.

Once in office, politicians have little motivation to obey the will of their constituents.

9. This is structurally fixable, and I’ve introduced a series of bills to do so. (I do not claim that this is the ENTIRE list of fixes - just the ones we’ve introduced.). https://casten.house.gov/media/press-releases/casten-introduces-package-of-legislation-to-reform-american-democracy#:~:text=Washington%2C%20D.C.%20%E2%80%94%20Today%2C%20U.S.,III%20of%20the%20US%20Constitution.

Join One Million Rising, our campaign to train one million Americans to lead a local resistance movement. We're undertaking this new effort to dramatically ramp up defiance and non-cooperation tactics society-wide, whether it be at corporations, education, the media, or neighborhoods. https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/803953/?source=mastodon
One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism · No Kings

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities. That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. Let’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump. **Session 1: The Moment & Your Mission - July 16** Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action. **Session 2: How to Make it Happen - July 30** This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy, but how you can train others and get them on board. You'll host your first community resistance gathering after this session. **Session 3: What Now? - August 13** You'll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward. Sign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!

@amalia22 @knittingknots2 I’m sure it’s a tongue-in-cheek rhetorical question but, well, that would be illegal!

And while the highly politicized DoJ will ignore fake ICE agents in blue states, they would absolutely go after fake ice agents who kidnap maga cultists.

@paco what’s your exit strategy for the iPhone 1?
@knittingknots2 why can’t the state call in the national guard, or local police, to monitor these hoards of masked gunmen, and ID-check each of them to ensure that they are actual ICE, and not just random bros?
