If this app turns out to be as good as Twitter when it first started then it's worth it. Elon can keep his cesspool of right wing losers who breath fascism, hate,racism & disinformation.

Here I am this morning in the Washington Post on the Trump Administration's defiance of an "apportionment transparency" law Congress passed to rein in abuses like the first-term Ukraine shakedown. wapo.st/3FXgjey
Opinion | Trump is openly defying a law created to rein in his first-term abuses
Withholding funding led to his first impeachment. Now the White House won’t post its spending moves.

Very clear the USA needs everyone to speak up & denounce authoritarianism - yes that includes CEOs who have been playing a cowardly hedge game with fascism.
Protests this week on Sat 5 April. There will be one near you.
Everyone has a voice. Make it be heard.

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture.
This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.

Basically, the far right accurately identified the weak point in liberal democracy: mainstream media institutions that were collapsing and therefore easy to purchase or pressure, combined with a public that got most of its information from an almost totally unstructured info ecosystem.

I've been screaming it for years: the right in Canada is headed down an American-style path on almost every issue because the right-wing media plays that tune, and the right-wing pretend media plays that tune. It's headed in one direction, and we have never had a clearer view of where that leads.

Kirsty Coventry's election as the first female president of the IOC may seem like a positive step for the organisation, but she is very much the establishment's choice, with Thomas Bach lobbying hard for her (against the rules, it should be said).

The only thing that separates this from Hitler’s claims about reparations is that Hitler actually had facts on his side (which is why the Allied forces committed to the Marshall Plan after WWII ended)
The end goal remains the same though - stoke fear and hatred to justify unnecessary violence/war
