The Washington Post's @cristianolima has an excellent story about (some) Members of Congress moving to Mastodon, why they're doing so, and what that means for decentralized and centralized social media.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/28/democrats-join-twitter-alternative-mastodon-protest-musk/#USPOL #congress #mastodon

Hey everyone,I wrote a short thing about members of #congress getting onto #mastodon and into the #fediverse. It draws on my experiences in 2008-10 concerning getting elected officials onto social media. What’s most likely relevant to your interests is I embedded a google sheet used to track members of congress, committees, etc., so that there’s a straightforward landing page. I’ll update the wiki accordingly. https://firstbranchforecast.com/2022/11/30/members-of-congress-on-mastodon/

In anticipation of MLK day, it's good to start with a rereading of Letter from a Birmingham Jail. The section on "white moderates" is particularly instructive.https://www.csuchico.edu/iege/_assets/documents/susi-letter-from-birmingham-jail.pdf

Today is the anniversary of the day Donald Trump incited an insurrection to overthrow the government that included a coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol aimed at killing elected leaders and thwarting the transition of power.Many Republicans deny these facts. Never forget.

In the time since, the few Republican leaders who were willing to speak out against Trump have silenced themselves or were pushed out of office by its members, and a great many in that party now believe the lies. Trump vowed to come back as a dictator who punishes his enemies.Saying the truth about what happened is not a partisan act. What's past is prologue.

This morning I wrote about the rise of Caesarism, cataloging the Trump regime's transgression of the Constitution and dismantling of federal agencies. Along the lines I touched upon Orwell, the French Republic, and the remaining bulwarks against authoritarianism.https://firstbranchforecast.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-caesarism
