I'll be looking myself, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to make a post here as well.

Boosts greatly appreciated.

I confess this doesn’t seem to me a compelling national priority.

Just hours after clinching the majority, House Republicans indicated that investigating the Biden family will be the first order of business come January. https://apnews.com/article/biden-border-security-congress-government-and-politics-b713d918624fca74f400e5c641408188?taid=6376e1ac45ca560001dbc849&utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter

GOP eyes new priorities for House, starting with Biden probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican Party’s capture of the House majority , though narrow, will soon transform the agenda in Washington, empowering GOP lawmakers to pursue conservative goals, vigorously challenge the policies of Democratic President Joe Biden — and plunge into Washington investigations with their new subpoena powers.

The issue of "Most white folk don't want to hear about your racism" is a related but separate issue. I don't think forcing people whose ears aren't open (or aren't open right now) to hear what they don't want to hear is fruitful anyway.🤷🏿‍♂️

Over the years, a bunch of folks said I helped them become less racist. That's not true. I don't have that power. I wish I did! They made themselves less racist.

What happened was, they opened their own ears, and then they could hear what I was saying.

Mastodon server be like:

Those of us migrating from #Twitter (like me) should read this article. I've been here a few days, and have already come to the realization that #Mastodon is an entirely different ecosystem. The worst we can do is treat it as Twitter 2.0.

This is a special community worth preserving. Some of the features that might strike the Twitter user as archaic were designed purposely to protect people over here. Let's try to respect the existing culture, not change it. 👇

Home invasion - Mastodon's Eternal September begins

The fediverse is dealing with a huge wave of Twitter people bringing toxic ideas with them.

@Stmorecowbell

Think of it this way. A content warning label serves two purposes. It protects people who don’t want their feed cluttered or upsetting and a service as a little preview of something exciting that might be hidden behind the curtain. Kind of like the quote tweet did

Also keep in mind that out of courtesy many will not boost any political tweet that doesn’t have a warning. So actually, respecting others will help get your message across and create the kind of community we want.

Will the the fact that the Republican party is now begging Trump (publicly begging, hinting, cajoling) to *not* campaign for Herschel Walker (especially from inside Georgia state lines) make him less or more likely to do so?
In Michigan, where districts created by an independent redistricting commission were used for the first time, Democrats took the state House, Senate, and Governor’s office for the first time in 40 years. Dems in Michigan also took the majority of seats in Congress. Great affirmation of the power of the people to vote.
