Need you may not have heard, as it's factual, not ridiculous, and not coming from anonymous sources:

Coalition of more than 120 black leaders blasts systemic racism of abortion in scathing letter to Planned Parenthood
A coalition of more than 120 black leaders from both political parties sent a scathing letter to Planned Parenthood, urging the organization to "confront the systemic racism of America's #abortion practices."
Yeah, new party, who dis?
The party has moved on, time to reevaluate party affiliation and undying allegiance just to a party.
Both parties alienated voters in 2016, and this will alienate more. I'm unaffiliated now, I invite others to unaffiliate as well. You're not leaving a party if the party left you. Less group think, more independent thought please.

Delaying the US election by allowing votes to cast/received AFTER election day is a bad idea. Everyone seems to agree. (more in CW)
@PhoneBoy Thanks for sharing this article with links to tons of studies.

Dear Americans,
Over the next two months, you will be assaulted by a next level, non-stop barrage of divisive media propaganda - to pit you against each other, get you emotionally jacked up, fearing for your life, and encouraging you to hate 'the other side'.
Don't fall for it. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1301787508217393154 #Zuby #Propaganda

covid stats, humor, sarcasm
Stay afraid. (Fear is the mind killer, and politicians of all kinds appreciate that.) Also, perhaps have a sense of humor.

🇳🇱
@SecondJon Aww thanks you've been a pleasure to have and no one has ever reported you, which is impressive in the fediverse. So you're doing something right.
Its funny the second a new member comes around (as I'm dealing with this now) who is even remotely right leaning, or even just criticizes the left from time to time, they get blasted with reports about being alt-right this or that, usually on the most respectful and innocuous comments.. There are so many instances that probably ban for that that it comes across as effective. We have our rules for a reason, to protect respectful but unpopular opinions.
Wow. Two years here on #qoto, nearly 2k toots. Always happy to be here @freemo and grateful for this place.
I remember when I decided to try mastodon and signed up on more than one instance to find the rules written in a way that could be used to easily target users restrictively and found users very unfriendly and rude to others with the slightest difference of opinion. Not on qoto. Thanks to everyone here for making this a good place to be.
