I give it 10 days until this actually exists.

It can be as simple or as complex as you make it. I personally keep it very simple. Folders and notes. I just really love the UX, sync options, and the extension marketplace.

If anybody here is in the DC, MD, VA area and thinking about trying or moving to Mastodon, I run an instance at dmv.community.

I will say if you want an easy way to get your feet wet on Mastodon. The Vivaldi Browser has its own Vivaldi Social instance that's easy to sign up for and doesn't seem like it's something that will puff up in smoke one day.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE:

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
