I had an account there with about 500k followers before I left, but the changes wrought by Elon made it so posts that ordinarily would've picked up 1k RTs within an hour went a full day with a dozen.
Sorry, I'm not going to keep screaming into the void just to boost his ad sales.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine. if it’s rising it means your society is failing. i haven’t had my coffee yet but im pretty sure i mostly actually do believe this.
I don’t think there’s even a straightforward set of policy prescriptions for antisemitism because its both concurrent with and downstream of like 15 other massive societal problems we’re doing hardly anything to solve

From posts like these, I so happy to have gotten through this whole affair without learning what that word means
I agree that it is gross to think about and I hate that I now know what felching is, but the love notes are proof that RFK is lying. To this day he says they only met once and never carried on an emotional or sexual affair.
Maybe he means by releasing RFK Jr's private weird sex poetry? Not quite the same as revenge porn but OTOH definitely a crime that we all had to read that.

I wish my school had had this policy before that final I didn’t study for
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

I’m both old enough and unemployed enough to get this
I think they should do a reboot of GI Joe where the Joes fight a organization with a benevolent public image that claims to help people continue coverage on the same healthcare plan after losing their job, but they secretly discover that behind this facade, it's actually very expensive

Chomsky has kind of always been a sucker for anti-establishment branding. And he's done a fair amount of genocide denial—including denying genocide and atrocities by Pol Pot (!), China with regard to Uyghurs, Assad. 1
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Some people are gonna have some explaining to do if homeless people are included in “the least of these”
ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”
We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.
