I miss when Republicans were Constitutionalists who believed in smaller government.
Now, they're actively supporting a vile criminal anti-American misogynist who is actively engaged in the destruction of our democracy at the behest of foreign leaders.
The entire party is a cult.

Regarding the app, I 100% agree you need to be laser focused and make sure it works right before launching.
That said, I HOPE it is soon...this really feels like the "strike while the iron is hot" moment.

I am extremely close to just deactivating Twitter.
That megalomaniacal despot's latest actions slashed my engagements by at least 95% since he stole the verification checkmarks. I'm getting MUCH more engagement here with less than 5% of the audience.
What the fuck even is the point of staying?

Anyone interested in doing a @Spoutible NFL Mock Draft? @allbrightnfl ? Anyone ?

Still find it hard to believe there isn't a single democracy-first Republican left who is willing to throw her or his hat in the ring. Kinzinger, Cheney, Kasich, Charlie Baker...someone. Especially when they don't have a current office they would risk.

It's time to ditch the Twitter verse. I really was trying. But I believe Elon came to destroy it and he has

Trying to get more non-political types here :)
Love the political and pro-democracy discourse here, but I also was engaged in a lot of sports-focused engagement over there and seems that's been a slower migration.

Hey @cbouzy any chance the bios could be lengthened slightly? Would be nice to get more hashtags or other info in there for people to be able to search for when they come over...just a thought.

Anyone else on here volunteer on the Buttigieg 2020 campaign? Where's my #TeamPete fam?
One of the coolest experiences ever was flying to Iowa to knock on doors for Pete prior to the caucus. Yes, it was just a couple days, but he won and I felt great about doing my part.

Would anyone else be shocked if, when Musk realizes 98% of legacy verified folks are running not walking from Twitter Blue, he creates yet ANOTHER check mark that allows individuals, for a larger one time fee, to get some sort of quasi-verification? Thinking like $100 one time fee or something.
09:07 PM - Apr 20, 2023
So many at the other place are frustrated by the checkmark talk. They don't understand.
It's not about "status". It's about a megalomaniac intentionally making his platform less reliable for purposes of undermining the verifiable facts, and the messengers of them, that our democracy relies on.

I'm sure it's COMPLETELY unrelated, but the second I lost my checkmark the engagement on my tweets absolutely tanked. Getting far more engagement from my less than 100 followers here than 3k there.
04:24 PM - Apr 20, 2023
To be clear. I'm not necessarily opposed to paying for a checkmark.
I'm adamantly opposed to paying for a checkmark that doesn't come along with it iron-clad verification beyond "Yep, this is one of the 300 million people in the US (no idea # globally) that have a phone."

What's fascinating is seeing the "celebs" who now still have the checkmark and for whom it is clear they have paid for it.
Sort of like a scarlet letter now.

The Republican Party may well take the Senate if they would just agree to background checks, which a huge percentage of the country wants, and which wouldn't ban a single weapon.
But are just too fundamentally stupid to realize it.

Now,I can't deny that extreme wokeism sometimes bugs me, and is a reminder that I am definitely a left-leaning moderate. But nothing the Far Left does ever SCARES me even a tiny bit as much as what the Far Right ... heck, even the "mainstream" right does at this point.

I was a member of the Young Republicans. I voted for Dole, Bush, and Bush. But as I became aware of the realities of the world around me, I changed. I moved from center-right to pretty squarely center-left. Voted for Obama twice and imagine I will be voting D for a very very long time.

I would have assumed Kid Rock, Scott Baio, and the guy that played Hercules could have sold these events out all by themselves.

Twitter's Verified account unfollowed me and many others yesterday. Just another way for Elon to delegitimize anyone credible on that platform.
FWIW - I am no great shakes. But I am real, and was verified.
I am so appreciative of this place, given how that platform is trending.

Gift article: Russian propagandists are buying Twitter blue-check verifications.
The verification means their tweets, mostly opposing U.S. aid to Ukraine, are given added prominence.
