Purely practically you could keep on reading without posting - that would be something
More widely Commissioners (and anyone else) still posting on X are legitimising a fascist
This is not complicated to understand
I told the person on LinkedIn he disgusted me (I presume I will be blocked now)

I have - in all seriousness - a retired European Commission Director General arguing on my LinkedIn that European Commissioners should keep posting on X as "could you chart the right policy course without being immersed in the whole range of the debate"
What bit of this from Musk does he not get?

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News.
Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever.

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions.
We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

Everyone knows that our current health care system is broken.
That’s why over 60% of the American people support Medicare for All.
The day will come when every man, woman and child in this country will have health care as a human right.

This means that Israel killed directly 4% of Gaza residents
Injured probably another 4%
Indirect casualties (excess mortality) is still to be assessed.

On the 6th of October Israel had about 5,000 Palestinian prisoners.
Today, *after the exchange* Israel holds at least 9,000 prisoners, most of them have not been charged.
Conditions in prisons became intolerable after Oct 7. Torture and starvation are standard.
