We now have the following national governments with a Mastodon server:

- Germany: https://social.bund.de
- The Netherlands: https://social.overheid.nl
- Switzerland: https://social.admin.ch

As well as the EU with
- https://social.network.europa.ec

Let's hope that other countries will follow this design pattern, and all launch a fediverse server at social.[governmentwebsite].[TLD]. Following this pattern makes it immediately clear to people they are communicating with an official government account.

“In the 21st century, only two groups have tried to attack the United States Capitol: al Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, and #Trump supporters, led by Donald Trump,” he [Lawrence O'Donnell] said. “Only the Trump attackers actually did damage to the Capitol.”

More figures on how parental income influenced where #students go to #college. Top income kids go to top colleges—no surprise, thanks to #legacy #admissions. Public #schools seem to be more fair. My college looks a bit better in this study—since it didn’t look so good in the economic diversity study over the weekend. #highereducation https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/11/upshot/college-income-lookup.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

#Musk’s growing power and anti-union stance resemble #HenryFord’s #autocratic tendencies. His influence over regulations and safety violations raises concerns, given his wealth and industry dominance.

Musk's actions, like disrupting his #Starlink network for political reasons, also highlight his influence on policy decisions.

@thenation argues for #CollectiveAction and government involvement over relying on billionaires like Musk to address global challenges.

@oldredsubby As long as we have Republicans we will have substandard healthcare.
Healthcare should not be a business for profit. It should be a service.

Now: Judge Chutkan replies to Trump’s motion to recuse her, orders govt to reply by 9/14, Trump has 3 days from their reply to respond.

And she notes, future failures to comply with earlier order that parties confer before filing may be denied w/o prejudice (temporarily).
