@CarolDanvers On #TheOtherSite, I warned people nearly EVERY DAY of 2019/2020 how critical it was to retain control of Congress with 2020 being "a Census Year" where Congressional districts for the next decade would be redrawn by whomever was in control of the House & Senate.
The #GOP is making it impossible for Democrats to win even with FAR more votes b/c of #GerryMandering.
If Dems get a chance, we need to use #AI to redraw Voting Districts equitably w/o regards for partisanship.

@AnarchoNinaWrites On #TheOtherSite, I have just under 1,900 followers. But got so fed up with Trump's Goon Squad and the insane trolls pushing his insanity daily, that I moved to "Newsie" on Jan 1 and am starting from scratch all over again. ๐
What is the point of a "#BlueCheckmark" on Twitter anymore? It used to verify that the person behind the account *actually IS* the person they're claiming to be.
NOW, all it signifies is that you're stupid enough to give a Billionaire $8/month just to put a meaningless blue check next to your name. WTF? ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
And why is anyone still on #TheOtherSite anyway? ๐คจ
@1finekitty Last year on #TheOtherSite just after Musk purchased it, I predicted he'd be bankrupt before the decade is out.
...I think he saw my post & took it as a challenge.
@martychan I'm finding here ("Newsie") is evolving into the more generalized "feel" of what #TheOtherSite used to be like.
@seth Every once in a while, I take a peek at #TheOtherSite to see what they're talking about.
The site is now overrun with RW trolls completely divorced from reality.
I always leave feeling happy that I left and relieved I had a place to go. ๐
I HAVE BEEN LIVE BLOGGING THE TOP THREE SUNDAY SHOWS (#FnS, #MtP and #ThisWeek) on #TheOtherSite every Sunday since 2004, and now I do so here on #Mastodon.
Be sure to Follow me & follow along.

Every once in a while, I take a peek over at #TheOtherSite to see what they're talking about over there.
And I'm always quickly reminded of what I left. It's become the new "Maga HQ", where all the most notorious ๐ฆ ๐ฉ ๐ RWNJ's spend all day trying to convince anyone who'll listen just what a "disaster" Joe Biden is, and what an amazing brilliant leader #DarthTraitor is/was.
@CiaoBruno I often said on #TheOtherSite that some wealthy Progressive Activist should offer to pay for every black man in America to buy a gun, and arrange for TV News to show long lines of black men stretching around the block at gun stores after every shooting of a black man by police.
Congress would pass new gun restrictions overnight.
@ThomHartmann Hey, great to find you on Mastodon! I must have been looking in the wrong place. Please follow-back as you did on Twitter. ๐
A large number of us left #TheOtherSite for good on Jan 1. I check back every once in a while to remind myself why I left. ๐
@lolgop I pointed out on #TheOtherSite long ago:
Conservatives are provocateurs. They get off on making their enemies angry. Trumpsters are 10x worse. They spend their days just thinking up idiotic things to say that EVEN THEY don't believe just to see what kind of reaction they'll get. ๐
@bigbee @tomwatson The only thing the story says about Sanders & Khanna is that they've called for stiffer penalties for the airlines than Buttigeg. That's hardly an "attack" on Sec Pete.
I'm not aware of either of their voters going after him either. It sounds like some very thin-skinned Buttigeg supporters perceive any criticism as an attack. Let's save that nonsense for #TheOtherSite. ๐
@georgetakei It is amazing. I left #TheOtherSite for good on Jan1st to escape their insanity, and I have no idea where this insane "government picking your stove" nonsense came from (hell, I wasn't even aware this was even a thing!)
Yet, for some reason, this made-up "controversy" appears to be a HUGE deal on the Right and giving them apoplexy.
Lord, I'm so glad I moved on (b/c clearly, these nutjobs can't.) ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@servelan Before I left #TheOtherSite, I frequently pointed out to Ronnie that he had the emotional stability of a 13-year old girl after breaking up with her first crush.
Out of curiosity to see what the hot topic is on #TheOtherSite, the first 6 of 7 posts at the top of my feed were from some of the very RWNJ's who motivated me to leave in the first place.
A helpful reminder. ๐
@Lady_Star_Gem I left #TheOtherSite for good on Jan 1st, and I believe thousands of others did so as well.
But I don't think the number was big enough for anyone over there to notice.
We need to continue to encourage people to leave The Bird's Nest in protest.
@tomwatson Anyone still on #TheOtherSite should spend a few days searching the phrase/hashtag "Dems in Disarray". #GOPHypocrisy
I took a peek over at #TheOtherSite ๐ฆ to seek what the latest GOP Talking Point is, and nothing new. Bold (empty) promises but nothing of substance. The same GOP hacks now only have a few stragglers to torment.
Are there any fun and novel ways to get suspended from #theothersite that wouldnโt cause any direct/indirect harm to anyone else?
