Hello!

This instance is moving to a new home.

Most of this community started using Twitter to organize and share information shortly after the Presidential election in 2016. It turned into a movement on social media known as #TheResistance.

Our resistance mission came to a successful end with the defeat of Donald Trump. We have realized a new mission is required.

This instance will be closing on March 6, 2021. Today, we will begin migrating to our new home, democracy.town. 1/2

Lastly, a huge, major, we ❤ you, thank you to @Stux  

He created our new instance for us and gives so much of his personal time to help others.

He took us all in when we first moved to Mastodon and made our experience here so much better and personally taught me a lot. He is a good example of how people should treat other people on social media: kindly.

There should be more like him in this world. See you in the new community!

The new instance link is here:

An account will be left here to admin until closing day. @Tony

Thank you!

Democracy Town

Welcome to democracy.town, a Mastodon instance focused on United States politics, run by and for progressives.

Mastodon hosted on democracy.town

1. Too many people don't get the connection between SOCIAL Security, Medicare, highways, dams, airports, roads, fire departments (things that they like) and the social democracy that it takes to run those programs.

2. The republican party has turned into a cult. Hysteria is the theme and socialism is one of the dog whistle buzzwords.

Why Republicans are resorting to anti-socialism hysteria - conservatives will say anything to justify backing a racist, loony president:

Opinion | Why Republicans are resorting to anti-socialism hysteria

Conservatives will say anything to justify backing a racist, loony president.

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon on what kind of #COVID19 stimulus each party wants:

Democrats (House): restaurant relief for small businesses like your corner bistro or neighborhood pizza place

Republicans (Senate): tax breaks for two-martini lunches

Republicans encourage client lunches in a pandemic?! In my city, you can only dine outdoors right now and only with your own household. Bring the relief to keep our restaurants afloat until people are vaccinated!

@MariaHill @TonyStark I'm glad that we will.
Ali Velshi on the maxim that the USA only has one president at a time: "It's clear that we have one president. It's just not the man in the White House." There is a reason I watch MSNBC all the time.
