The "United States Disappeared Tracker' is brilliant, though we should be sickened that it is needed. Huge kudos to Prof. Danielle Harlow.

Hello everyone – as much as this may seem like an April fools joke, it is not: I am now presenting to you a project I've been working on for the past weeks called “Betrayed By Trump”.

 https://www.betrayedbytrump.com/

This is a place for Republicans (only) to share their personal stories of how they were affected by the Trump presidency or other GOP officials. We've had our fun and games with the “I told you so” but now need to turn that into a political message to put pressure on the Republican party. Every other criticism by liberal, leftist, and progressive media outlets is easily dismissed by the GOP, this project serves to platform the voices they cannot ignore.

Please send this to your conservative friends, family members, or anyone you know!

The Fediverse ain’t worth it if people don’t share and talk about art.

News isn’t what makes us human. Politics isn’t what makes us human. Tech certainly isn’t what makes us human.

Art is what makes us all human.
