Democrats Abroad

I'm a member of #democratsabroad. There are no fees.

I have found the organisation extremely helpful for US ex-pats. They encourage people to vote. They help people to gain access to voting. They help with overseas taxes. They help left-leaning US expats form local communities in their country of residence. The list goes on.

We have been largely communicating through Facebook, but that is becoming no longer an option. So, I am establishing a group here for anyone who wishes to join. I will see about how to get us connected up with the international organisation.

I thought I was drowning in shit but I'm actually just standing neck deep on nothing in a freedom hole.

WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE






The TikTok ban will deplatform thousands of progressive content creators and skew online discourse to the right. It will consolidate media influence within right-leaning platforms like Meta and X. Over time, I believe this reconfiguration will permanently alter the political landscape of the creator economy usermag.co/p/the-great-creator…

While the majority of news content creators across the social media landscape are conservative men, a recent study found that TikTok is the *only* platform where left-leaning news influencers outnumber right-leaning ones. usermag.co/p/the-great-creator…

"What I didn’t expect, and don’t think I could have foreseen, is how incredibly cringe it would all be. I have been prepared for evil, for greed, for cruelty, for injustice – but I did not anticipate that the people in power would also be such huge losers."

I'm sure the guys going up in the first manned mission will be glad to know their first stage will make it back safely!

@smellsofbikes Fair enough.

At the Melbourne Writers Festival some years I will listen to a writer talk, and so enjoy myself that I buy their book and am disappointed. Other years, I hear an author whose works I love, only to be disappointed by their live presentation. Creators can have a variety of skills and you may like some of their output and not others.

in reply to Muse

I like their songs, as they're reasonably nice pleasant songs. Some are excellent, like "the writing's on the wall".
Their creative visual talent is off the charts.
