The death of the Twitter API probably means the end of @resistbot on that platform. Which is a shame. It will lose difficult-to-replace reach.
But, if Twitter shuts off access, remember Resistbot is also avail on Apple Messages, Telegram, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and old reliable SMS. Learn more: resist.bot #CivicEngagement

“So now we know who’s been handing out those AR-15 pins republicans have been wearing on the House floor. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R - NRA), who said the January 6th attack on the Capitol was a “normal tourist visit.” 🤦‍♂️ The GOP is a terrorist organization.”

It’s well past time for the College Board to have competition. How have they avoided a suit for being a monopoly all these years?

Q: Why are there in the USA more people in jail/parole than there are inhabitants in Madrid the third largest city in Europe?

A: This one's easy. Racism.

The US arrests and convicts a lot of people. Most folk in jail, on probation, or on parole in the USA are there for 2 reasons:

1) Non-violent drug offenses

2) Are just awaiting trial, but are too poor to make bail.

I never thought in my lifetime I’d see this happening!

I remember this church song that goes "And they'll know we are Christians by our love". The Christian right extremists just made a mockery of that phrase. I guess that went out the window a long time ago too!

@AlliFlowers @flexghost I grew up in Baptist church that was anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic and now too many are rightwing fascists who have further degraded their “church.”

The 19th Century cholera outbreak in London was solved by public, not individual, action. Almost no one believed Dr. John Snow, an obstetrician, who said the Broad Street pump was the source of the disease. But, town officials decided to take the handle off the pump, making it impossible to draw water. Had they instead asked everyone to live with cholera and take individual action only if they cared to do so, thousands more would've perished.

#Twitter has banned #Movetodon from the API, so it no longer works.

Fedifinder still works, so that's an option at least for a little while.
