@Maude Paul Newman is so young there!

I'm thinking about a way forward.
I'm beginning to believe the Democratic party needs to quit acting as a political party and start acting and thinking like a labor union.
That is the only path that looks to let the party wield power.
If we want working people to operate from inside the Democratic party tent, we need to empower them.
Look at how the people of France react to just about anything they don't like.

CoSo, a call to action; we are approaching the middle of the month. Let's see if we can get that gauge filled early.
Counter.Social is our safe place, and it keeps us safe. These actions do incur an expense each and every month that @th3j35t3r pays out of pocket what is not covered by us.
We ALL need to step up NOW; Go PRO! Join Patreon and setup a monthly donation.
The need is there now; and it will grow no matter what.
@ChippySuave The thing is even your new handle can ultimately be taken because part of the terms of service is that your account has to be active for you to keep it. I can't remember if that's at least one tweet every 6 months or so. I don't want anyone to get my handle.

Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >

The Australian government will push on with regulation of social media and artificial intelligence despite the incoming Trump administration’s opposition to both.
New bill that will impose fines of up to 5% on Elon Musk's Twitter/X global revenue, which could be hundreds of millions of dollars for failing to control the spread of misinformation.
@Brisse Excellent. In less than 40 days, I'll reach a 1-year anniversary.
HR 9495 (which includes HR 6408) gives unilateral discretion to the Sec of Treasury to ban a non-profit organization that the secretary deems is giving material support to a terrorist org. This gives way too much power to a single person. Appealing to the IRS is insufficient. https://www.politico.com/f/
@Maude It is the Google searches for "how do I change my vote" that have me shaking my head
Trump to rely on forces that brought him to power. Here is the Tass article with Patrushev’s quote.
https://tass.com/politics/1870713
We know Russia made over false bomb threats to Democratic stronghold polling sites and that Musk is a Putin fan. Trump is clearly beholden to Putin and they are openly mocking him.
Putin spymaster Nikolay Patrushev states Russia helped Trump and now must deliver quid pro quo.
“To achieve success in the election, Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
The Los Angeles Times just announced that Democrat George Whitesides has won his campaign for Congress in CA-27.
The AP has called Democrat Mark Takano the winner in his reelection to U.S. House in California's 39th Congressional District. #APRaceCall at 9:08 p.m. EST.

Congressman Michael Waltz has been tapped to serve as Trump’s security adviser. Waltz is a former Army Green Beret who served in the Afghanistan war, later working as a defense policy official in Pentagon and White House during George W. Bush's administration. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/12/michael-waltz-trump-national-security-advisor

Democrat Cleo Fields has won Louisiana’s congressional race in a recently redrawn second majority-Black district, flipping a once reliably Republican seat blue.
@mikeharmanos Think about the chaos that will ensue in just two years with Trump. Not entirely off the table.
Good news:
#CD45 Update
50.69% - 143,184 - Michelle Steel (R)
49.31% - 139,276 - Derek Tran (D)
Steel only leads by 1.38%, with Tran closing in fast. This is trending in Trans favor.
