Hey! The @BrennanCenter is on Mastodon! Follow for all things democracy and voting related!

So awed by my friend E. Jean Carroll who filed a case this morning under the New York Adult Survivors Act against her rapist Donald Trump.

Scam Alert!

If you receive an email or response on Mastodon like the following, DO NOT click the link. It is a scam fishing for login details at the very least.

"Mastodon has detected botting malware on your PC that is congesting the Mastodon network. All affected accounts will be suspended within 24 hours unless removed. _https://REDACTEDLINK"

Hot take: Elon Musk turned up the heat too quickly and the frogs escaped before he could boil us. That impetuous impatience may have killed Twitter but saved democracy.

Emmitt McHenry created the computer code that enables us to access the internet and send emails today! His innovation is currently referred to as the ".com."

I should share that I was an advisor briefly to Post.news, asked to put together an advisory board. I withdrew for various reasons -- disagreement about another advisor and about federation -- and have no ties to it now. I received nothing. I like Noam, its founder, and respect his work (Waze!). I'll watch Post. But I'm much more engaged here and want to study and learn about the potential of federation -- ActivityPub, Bluesky, Scuttlebutt -- as a model for public discourse.

Legal mastodon!

Looking for a solicitor/direct access barrister willing to take on an equalities-related judicial review for someone.

Needs to be a human rights/equalities/JR specialist. Given complexity of issues, would like someone already up to speed on the current state of trans law.

I'm curious, how do you prefer to consume information online?

Would be amazing if you could boost for improved statistical rigour and all that jazz. #poll #content #information

With Twitter's collapse, funders should start helping build up federated discourse: supporting development of better security, of moderation aids, of proposals for affordances welcoming to Black Twitter and other communities. Stop thinking top down. Start thinking emergent.

Only in America does Tucker Carlson get to celebrate Thanksgiving in his mansion after he spent the last year hawking medical disinformation, spreading election propaganda, carrying Putin's water, and smearing victims of hate crimes while earning millions of dollars at Fox News.

I haven’t posted on Twitter in 4 days, ever since I came here. When I look at it now, it’s strange for me to see so many people continuing to make content and work for Elon Musk, who is clearly a bigot and totally insane.

The European Parliament condemned the involvement of Belarus in the war against Ukraine on November 24, 2022, and called for the introduction of the same sanctions which were imposed against Russia.

Another example of pollinators loving verbena - honestly, on a sunny day, put your phone down and just take a seat by these lovely long flowers, gently swaying in the breeze - and watch all the action 🐝🦋🪳 #butterfly #butterflies #pollinators #FlowersOnFriday #flowers #Nature #Photography #gardening #GardeningMastodon

"The court found that Russia had overall control of the separatist forces in eastern at the time when the plane was shot down, he said.

The Netherlands and Australia said in 2018 that was responsible for the disaster, after investigators concluded the BUK missile had come from a military base."

@virginiaheffernan I'm also appreciating a social media experience that doesn't revolve around rage-bait.

@virginiaheffernan

It's been honestly a little shocking how openly Musk embraces and interacts with genuine Nazis. Why are those sources the primary ones he sees? What is his online information pipeline?
