Just a quick note of gratitude to everyone here, to people who have reached out to help in whatever way they are able, financially or otherwise. The response so far to my post has been incredibly humbling. I will be reaching out to some folks individually in the near term and will have more to announce very soon.
It strikes me that the catastrophe Elmo has made at Twitter, even though it is incredibly wrong and dangerous, could mark some sort of inflection point where folks wake up to the fact that 1) the enemy is inside the house, and 2) the enemy is a brainwashed idiot.
Piercing the illusion these guys have made around themselves as some sort of superior beings is almost worth the destruction of what was always kind of a shitty platform. Especially since Twitter’s implosion has forced people to look into safer, more scalable and more egalitarian options, like Mastodon.

I’m optimistic we can make some real progress to clean this mess up and start giving people an online world that doesn’t want to radicalize them, or worse. But we cannot get complacent. There are tens of millions of casualties of this war, and many more that have lost people to it.
We need to protect the people who haven’t been affected yet, and start helping the people who have. 🇺🇸
Thanks again, all. 💙
I am sorry, Jim. I will not be able to help you this next year. My scenario changes now that the seditious conspiracy convictions have occurred. The Oath Keepers were in Ferguson. I was in Ferguson and St. Louis. The orchestrated car wreck I suffered was in St. Louis. Thank you, again, for what information you and some of your posters were able to provide.
I’ll help out any way I can. We’re with you♥️
