Check out @mstdn.social, I think it’s an early one. I don’t know how heavy handed it is but I’ve not had any issues and see a variety of content.

Doesn’t count if you’re on their “team.” For now, anyways.
Well, we have a lot less faith today thanks to Eileen Cannon and the majority of the rigged SCOTUS.
That was so Republicans could go after Democrats. It’s totally different now that Daddy Trump is being held accountable for his crimes.
Maybe it’s the meaning. Just looked it up: Mildred means “gentle strength.” I’m warming up to it.
You want the reason we’re down voting you and the post? Because anyone undecided is a fucking moron so we don’t give a shit what they think. Same with those voting for Trump.
Our current political structure and the two party system makes even the best politician look feeble.
I’m not sure how to do it but represent.us proposes to fix it in the near future (if we all bought in, I suppose).
One thing that sticks out on that sit is that whether all of voters agree or very few of us agree on a policy there’s about a 30% chance of the policy becoming law.
It goes without saying that the rich and corporations benefit from the current system. It will be tough to change. And makes our system pretty pathetic in practice.
Well, he sure knows his base.
Someone posted this link in another thread. The site has ranked choice voting among other things as ways to fix the US political system. Which at times has seemed so broken to me that I believed only a revolution could fix. The site talks about starting local and is optimistic that we could fix it democratically and over the next decade or so (I don’t remember the timeline, just that it seemed quicker and with less drastic measures than I assumed would be needed). https://represent.us/
Bonus, Jennifer Lawrence is involved and in the initial information video.
Something that did stand out was that, currently, whether a policy had 0% public support or 100% public support there was only about 30% chance of the policy/law getting passed. And that 70% of a politicians time was spent raising money to get elected.
I hope Republicans get behind it and reap benefits too. Rescheduling shouldn’t end up another political victim like health care was.
Criminals and their coconspirators don’t want to be investigated? Shocking!
Fuck Trump but I hope he’s able to get the help he needs. He increased funding for VA including finding for PTSD (funding has increased since Obama, maybe even before that, and that’s a great thing).
