Want a great source of US political news on Mastodon?
US Politics in Real Time @uspolitics is a super useful curated account produced by Pell @pell, who describes themselves as "just another programmer."
@uspolitics provides summaries with links to a wide array of US political news stories from around the web. "Priority topics: Climate, Labor, Economy, Fascism, LGBT+, Internet regulation."
Over the last day this account has been conducting a demonstration experiment boosting breaking news and analysis related to Trump's Georgia racketeering to show how Mastodon has become an excellent source for real time breaking news and to provide newshounds with good accounts to follow. In a way, this demonstration has been too successful. Followers who may not be interested are getting spammed on this topic. That was not the intent, and apologies. As of now, the experiment is concluded.
First day of @AstroMigration is in the can with over 100 followers. Closing it out with this incredible image from the Bits of Pluto Bot @bitsofpluto because Pluto is... just insane, and deserves to be first.
