Just a reminder: The Attorney General is not supposed to be the President's lawyer; they're the people's lawyer.

Under the guise of defending free speech, Musk has turned X into one of the most restrictive, deceptive and manipulative platforms on the internet.
He promised to make X a source of truth. He was called out by his own AI for being one of the most prolific amplifiers of misinformation.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

1. Transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride has announced that she will comply with Speaker Johnson's policy declaring her a man and banning trans people from bathrooms.
She is receiving sharp critiques from those with trans friends who work in the capitol.

The decision comes after Mike Johnson declared that transgender people are not allowed in bathrooms of their gender identity under the provision that he "controls the facilities."

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

especially since a few blocks north it reduces back to two lanes for the parking structure ramp on A street - the third lane just winds up creating a bottleneck anyway. Should be two lanes all the way down to Market or Harbor
The fact this lane has been closed off and used as a sidewalk through many months of Horton Plaza's construction and traffic remains unaffected suggests that perhaps First Ave does not need to be a three-lane one way
