Marjorie Taylor Greene says if every member of Congress had to resign for doing what Matt Gaetz has been accused of, "Democrats would have a supermajority."

👉 MTG saying out loud what we already know to be true is infuriating as hell because we know not a damned thing will be done about it.

When I set out on this journey 7 years ago, I I specifically did NOT want to emulate Twitter.

I wanted to make it curatable, algo-free, user-defined.

I don't mind admitting, I half back-pedaled & created 'Simplified Mode' - in ur far right main menu, but secretly hope nobody uses it.

Since we launched there's been countless popups tryna 'be' the next Twitter.

COSO has always stuck with it's roots & it shows. If you aren't smart enough to figure it out, you'll weed yourself out.

#cosohumor Justt saying

Wait for it. Sound On.

Brain worms for everyone!

Futurama did it.

Welcome new #cosonauts. A quick heads up

Every so often we go through a new influx of users. It's worth noting a few things:

1. We've been here for 7 years now. Please don't start by trying to mould Coso into what YOU think it should be
1. We're conversation-driven. Feel free to join in any that are already happening, just be respectful.
2. This isn't Twitter and it's not the new Rebel Base. Many of us lean left in politics, but by no means all
3. Remember Coso's golden rule: Don't Be A Dick 👍

I'm the thriftiest old codger you'll ever meet, but even I think CoSo is worth the 17¢ a day it costs to #GoPro

You heard right, 17¢, I did the math!

A suggestion from. Reddit thread : if you plan on making a major purchase, do it before January. Stock up on as much as you can of other things. After January, think about which business get your money. I got the Goods Unite Us app, which does the research on who businesses and corporations donate to. Stop giving your money to R leaning businesses. It doesn't even have to be an organized movement, just make different choices all the time.

“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me” -Martin Niemöller

A thing you can do if you have D local officials: call them up and ask what their plan is for preventing the deportation of your immigrant neighbors.

A reminder: The Paradox of Tolerance is a Social, not Moral, Contract:

I am grateful to J for keeping us all safe here in our online home.

Something I can do is to make a donation to his costs of running this place. I know not everyone can. If you can lets show J our appreciation for letting us be honest and safe here.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk :)

This image says it all.

Thank goodness we have COSO and J running this ship. I can't imagine being anywhere else on a day like today.

On November 17 we will celebrate COSO's 7th birthday.

Those of us who can, help @th3j35t3r with the expenses to keep COSO afloat. Now more than ever, it seems important to do so. Several times in the past we have funded it 100% in this month. Can we do that again?

Please consider the ways to help fund COSO and especially November at 100%.

Here's how:
