The #Wikidata query to find #ResPublicae accounts for MEPs has been updated on our frontpage:
https://w.wiki/62$8
It now includes languages and political groups so that you can more easily find accounts you want to follow (or mute!).
Great news! - In contrast to the lagging US #congress more and more Members of the #EuropeanParliament do have #Mastodon accounts.
Check out, if your MP is already there. If not, write to him/her to join! - This is how we dethrone the corporate sites. People of relevance in RL must engage in the #fediverse.

Time to start fighting for #European #democracy, too!
Today, #Erdogan is set to win the #turkishelections2023, which were rigged, at least on #SocialMedia, by #ElonMusk (1) and others.
What can we do?--Give all the #MP's and institutions of the #EU a voice in the #Fediverse, regardless of your political inclinations. Make this THE go-to platform for...

...for political discourse.
#Democracy doesn't mean to muzzle dissenting voices, but to engage with them in a civil and intelligent manner.
