Steven BeschlossFor the record, releasing Trump’s tax returns in 2016 might have saved our democracy six years of pain and trouble. Every presidential nominee should be required by law to make their returns public.

Abandoned AmericaI'm really glad you're here in Mastodon - yes, you, personally. You either helped build it early on and believed in it before the Twitter exodus, or you're part of that exodus and had to leave a platform that you cared about bc of your morals, but either way, you're here and I think that's really cool. Thanks for joining, contributing your thoughts, efforts, and time, and making this a great place to be. I appreciate it. ❤️

Ryan Schultz#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
Dan GillmorI don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.
Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.
Leave. Now.

Dr. D. Elisabeth GlasscoToday, the United States Postal Service announced that, in 2023, it will issue a stamp celebrating the life and legacy of this humble servant of the people. Well done.

You probably wanted another pic of Fred to help disassociate from the utter hellscape that is
Elon Musk's continued onslaught on democracy.
So here you go.
This time he's snoozing under a crochet blanket and scarf.
BaratundeWoohoo! I'm fully in the #fediverse having self-verified my website. Checkmark didn't cost me $8 (or $11) or my dignity or the stability of our democracy yay! #mastotunde
