I, a foreigner who was not signed up to any political SMS or email lists, was still getting caught in the blast radius of the all-out comms war that the korean dems were waging. the messaging was everywhere and it was well-timed and savvy. almost like... they were politicians... who wanted to win

Btw, super happy to see you over here! I followed you on Instagram because I love your photography, but I’ve largely stopped using it

Pretty sure those who are dismantling our democracy are working over the weekend

Thank you--I'm doing my best to sound the alarm about Elon Musk and his DOGE cadre to my less-online friends and family on other social media, but I am having a hard time finding something that succinctly explains why we should not be giving the any benefit of the doubt.

I was raised an apocalyptic splinter sect of Mormonism—believe me, this kind of thinking definitely has cache in slightly-loonier-than-mainstream Christianity

I’ve spent a lot of my free time this week raising the alarm about his unprecedented threat to our national security, on Facebook. I’m hoping it has reached some who would otherwise not know

I had never called any elected representative in my life until last week. Now I’ve done it five times. Two weeks ago I was shutting down my Facebook account—now, I’m posting about what’s going on in the hopes it reaches a few who would otherwise not know, doing what I can

I called my senator Friday morning after the Washing Post reported that this was in their crosshairs. It’s maddening

Sounds bad; you should call your senator and tell them to do something—anything!—about it

Senator, they are seizing sensitive systems with personal data as we speak. Stop grandstanding and do your job

I’m also interested, since my feed is the same way. Sorry, I don’t have a lot to offer in this regard 😕

I've been doing this for people I know in real life (you're on it!). Do you have any tips for doing this for people I already follow to new lists? I've found the process tedious, but I could just be missing some feature

His "firing" is illegal. Fight back.

Add my voice to the chorus—I’ve spent the last week divesting myself of Meta properties.

No snow on the ground here in Chicago, but at least it was -5F outside when I left for the office this morning

I rarely login to Instagram anymore, but after reading that people are being suggested to follow Vance, I checked. This was from this morning.
I’m going to keep the Facebook account up for a little while, but I’m making moves to delete everything I have on Meta properties at some point

I’m from near Kansas City—most of my family lives in its surrounding suburbs. My comment was more from a place of lived experience and not being the least surprised that it was where I thought it was

Of course, it’s Kansas City

I’ve been using (and paying for) Kagi for most of the last year, as a greater move to pay directly for services I use, instead of having advertisers do it for me. It’s good!
It has the same problem that all search engines have, though: the thing being searched is filled with more garbage than before

I saw this the other day, is this it?

Canceled earlier this year—wasn’t getting much value from being able to receive items from such illustrious brands as GINMLYDA or EOOUT in two days or less. Prime Video showing you ads you didn’t ask for and never wanted was the final straw
