Interesting to see @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews on here, and to compare to how similar organizing efforts do on Threads. Mastodon seems harder to get people to use, but Threads has some real limitations on usefulness for politics.

@[email protected] @mosseri This stuff on Threads is another reason to keep using mastodon!

It’s really odd to have this connected to Threads, but I’m interested in how the experiment will turn out.

Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub – we’re committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.

Threads is pretty fun. I like mastodon, too—but I’ll probably regularly check both.

From @pbump: "In 2009, only 14 lower chambers and 17 upper chambers [of #state #legislatures] had such lopsided partisan dominance. Most of those were controlled by #Democrats…In 2023, at least 30 states have such margins in either chamber. Most of them are controlled by #Republicans. The number of states in which both chambers have partisan supermajorities has also increased — again, disproportionately for Republicans."

The rise of the state-level supermajority

Since 2009, the number of states with both legislative chambers held at a 2 to 1 margin by one party has more than doubled.
