My favorite thing about being on an email chain with 400+ people who should have been BCCed but were not is the sheer number of email replies that are criticizing others for hitting Reply All or — even better — requesting to be removed (?) from the thread. Like, bro...no one wants to be here.

Sometimes it feels like these platforms are a space for stating the obvious but in case it is not clear: the tactic here is chaos, the technique and execution is sloppy and illegal and the question is whether the institutions and individuals with power actually use it.

This appears to be yet another Administration effort to weaponize the power of the FCC.

It appears that I've gotten under Carr's skin. He clapped back on Twitter over the weekend, claiming that I am a "censor."
We need to talk about what the 1A is for and what real censorship is ... because Brendan Carr either doesn't understand or is just lying to the American people.

I'm trying over here and watching what's shaking out and coming to the conclusion that I'm not sure I have it in me to engage on another platform of "Takes." I'm not sure what I want out of social media anymore but endless "Takes" isn't it.

Stopping HR 9495 is an "All Hands On Deck" moment for nonprofit orgs. If this bill passes it would give the executive branch dangerous new powers, with grave consequences for civil society, including nonprofit newsrooms.

unfortunately House Republicans seem determined to pass HR 9495 before the end of the year. the bill is already back on the calendar for next week - Monday afternoon markup in the House Rules Committee: rules.house.gov/media/announ...
Not to distract you all from the Pete Hegseth DOD news, but the House is voting now on HR 9495, the bill that could allow Trump's Treasury Dept to unilaterally revoke tax-exempt status from non-profits it deems as "supporting terrorism."
