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.

@humanrightswatch horrible.
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. ❤️
Chris TrottierSo @.joinmastodon got unbanned from Twitter.
This is the first tweet that they sent after the unbanning:
"As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea."
What a response!
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!❤️😉
@babcia54 that is fantastic!!!
@babcia54 thank you! I've never tried thread...I bet you make some delicate and lovely things 
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.
@scrumble_eggs it's that secret third way that always get me 🥲
