Remember this day.
The last full day with a Democratic President.
We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?
In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Elon Musk has admitted a secret mass censorship program to silence and throttle critics on Twitter.
We always knew this was happening—it’s been happening to me personally for over a year—but now he’s finally admitted it.
Per usual, he’s swearing at those complaining about his grotesque hypocrisy.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Elon Musk makes billions from government contracts that taxpayers pay for, but wants to cut taxpayers’ Social Security and Medicare because it’s government waste.

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials.
I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds.
Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

It’s like the Terran Empire in the mirror Star Trek universe
One thing to remember as Trump populates his administration with a cynic’s gallery of convicts, grotesques, and miscreants: Today’s toadies are tomorrow’s turncoats. Most of them will ultimately give him the shiv or vice versa. Trump’s pathologies conspire against loyalty.

Oh look! It’s a gallery of things I must now order online because it takes 20 minutes to find the Keeper of the Deodorant Key
I get the need to safeguard from shoplifting but this CVS setup is insane.

I completely agree with @hankgreen.bsky.social here (come on, he's usually right) and can say my own testing has yielded the same sort of results. Give it a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4gh...
