Yep, and it fosters unnecessary inaccuracies like "I can't even search for the phrase "Sarah Kendzior anymore". Lot of goodwill will vanish by this poorly communicated moderation behavior.

@aaron.bsky.team Please reinstate the account of renowned scholar and journalist Sarah Kendzior. Hers is one of the most valuable voices in current public discourse.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.

The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)

Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.
The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

(Published 2019)
Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election & she’s not sworn in

Congress is being paid as federal workers work for free & Americans go hungry

There’s no incentive for the GOP to end the shutdown

They’re funding ICE. They’re funding themselves. They’re funding Argentina

It’s a coup
