Trump freed 5,000 Taliban soldiers and then invited their leaders to Camp David.

I’m grateful Brittney Griner is free

But was the exchange of a notorious arms dealer – and negotiating with a terrorist nation – setting a bad precedent? Or was this the right move?

Washington DC voted to make its bus system fare-free, starting July 1. This is big...the first major city to make their bus service completely free, and hopefully will serve as an example to other bus services around the nation. This makes the busses available not only to the middle class but also to the very poor who can't afford transit...in other words, greater equity. (Yes, this is me in my transit advocacy mode.) #transit #bus #PublicTransit

Pediatric hospitals are being crushed by RSV, flu, #COVID19. I'm masked every day, seeing patients of all ages. We don’t get sick from our patients and we keep the environment safe for them. Yet unmasked adults gather at meetings, shops, parties. IMO, that’s surreal. #MaskUp

Glad to see the officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 awarded Congressional Gold Medals this morning. It is due to their bravery that we were able to proceed with the transfer of power that day.

相対性理論。"Theory of relativity" I moved the camera and umbrella at the same time and took a panning shot.#followfriday #cyberpunk #photography

And Guangzhou leaders dramatically removed their masks at the press conference to show Zero-COVID is over and there's nothing to worry about. FFS🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks again. Great catch!

Lots of journalists have Mastodon accounts. However, many of them are inactive. There are also journalists who crosspost That is, automatically copy their tweets to Mastodon. This is a short list of journalists active directly on Mastodon.

The list will be added to periodically as other journalists hit their stride over here🙂 .

#twittermigration

My twitter followers are jumping ship. My engagement is dropping rapidly. They changed the algorithm to force feed me right wing accounts. And white supremacy, Islamophobia, & antisemitism on Twitter are being defended as valid points of view.

By contrast this Mastodon community is igniting robust dialogue, respectful disagreement, and offers little comfort to racists and bigots.

This is what Twitter could’ve been, and I’m really hopeful this is what Mastodon continues to be. Thank you all.❤️✊🏽
