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

Migration can be done easily. First, if you want to save your settings (blocks, etc.), back them up under Preferences > Import and Export > Request Your Archive. You will import them to your new account.

Then create an account on the new instance. Go to Edit Profile > Moving From A Different Account > enter your current full address.

Then log back into the old account > Edit Profile > Moving To A Different Account > enter your full new account address.

Please ask if you need help. 2/2

@TonyStark Thank you, @stux

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

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!

He was homeless, survived a fire, and was playing music in his car in a parking lot when he was shot by an angry white man with a gun. His mother's voice holds such powerful truths about racism.

Really, it's so ludicrous. Any legislator who refuses to acknowledge Biden's victory is basically a coward of epic proportion, who cares less about upholding their sworn duty than pandering.

74 million people are ok with this and despite the pieces that claim I need to listen to them, I can't see why.

220 congressional Republicans won't say whether Biden or Trump won the election, Washington Post survey finds - The Washington Post

When are Republican leaders going to condemn this kind of unethical and inappropriate behavior? Or is it OK to try to overturn the will of the electorate just because you don't like the result? 

Anyone who wants a decent reputation going forward needs to leave the party and let the GOP disappear into the rat hole of history.

@TonyStark
The amount of farm subsidy payments under trump has almost tripled. That’s money going from blue states to red states, all to support a trade war with China that was based on the faulty premise that China was stealing from us because we were running a huge trade deficit. 

But after 4 years of trump, our trade deficit with China has increased and Midwest farm foreclosures are up to 2008 levels.

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:

@TonyStark Happy #Caturday!

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!

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.

From U.S. Senator Tina Smith

"Historic progress today. I’ll keep fighting to end the failed and racist policy of marijuana prohibition by working to pass U.S. Senator Kamala Harris’ companion bill in the Senate, as well as my bill to legalize it safely.
At the end of the day, the public overwhelmingly supports legalization but our laws have not kept up. We can legalize marijuana in a smart and safe way.
Read more about my bill:"
