It’s over.

NPR leaves Twitter.

The news organization that legitimized the (now) alt-right platform has had enough.

The logical move is for journalists to come to Mastodon

How many more times will we have to hear the heartbreaking news of another mass shooting? How many more times must children die before we have elected officials who ban assault rifles and pass real gun control that slows the mayhem?
How’s this for an idea that should not be controversial: Ban assault rifles, not books.
I’m all for indictment, and recognize we’re going to suffer a non-stop, unavoidable tirade of crazy from the indicted one. But amid the noise & mania, let’s keep in mind we have democracy to save, rule of law to re-establish, and a climate crisis that requires collective focus and effort.

Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's rejoin the #EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay...

Hillary Clinton
•GOP: LOCK HER UP!

Joe Biden
•GOP: LOCK HIM UP!

Anthony Fauci
•GOP: LOCK HIM UP!

Trump: They're going to arrest me on Tuesday
•GOP: How dare the Democrats stain criminal justice with political arrests.🤬

Remarkable MAGA projection. Truly breathtaking lack of self-awareness.

Mastodon reached 10 million users.

The mainstream media is saying nothing. Not a peep from The Guardian, Washington Post, Engadget, etc.

Which is funny: because back in January, they were sure to cover Mastodon’s “plummeting monthly active users”.

It’s almost as though Mastodon has defied the ongoing media narrative 🤔

“They are counting on intimidation and insecurity to strengthen their hand. They are pushing the chimera of political persecution to their cultists and injustice to drive the media storyline. And they are trying their hardest to manipulate public opinion to come to Trump’s defense.But we shouldn’t take the bait.”

The Sweet, Healing Power of Justice

Chaos agents want their trumped-up storyline of outrage and political persecution to intimidate Americans. Let's not take the bait.

America, America
May the NY indictment happen this week and may it be only the first of many.
