People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment.
If this annoys you...
what i wanna know is, why are tech reporters doing thinly-veiled Zuck apologia and pretending it's coherent legal analysis? silicon valley sociopaths are staging an active fucking coup and you're on here wagging your finger at people who are pissed off about being deplatformed? stfu, collaborator!

to my knowledge, Gloria Steinem never went back on her opposition to sex workers' rightsβsuch as when she urged Amnesty International to not support decriminalization, despite all the evidence that criminalization harms sex workers
I also can't tell the full story yet, but when Gloria Steinem was a co-chair of the Women's March, language supporting sex workers vanished from the march platformβbut it was put back. Between the lines: sex workers won that fight, over Gloria's objections. The story as I could report it:
there is an understanding at every strip club that you canβt have multiple dancers using the same stage name at the same clubβand let me tell you how many people I worked with who fought to be, lost, and still ultimately respected anyone who got to be Jolene
sorry, but the media describing the horrible conditions on board the USS Lincoln (moldy showers, no fresh fruits/veg, broken plumbing, no toiletries) just sounds like spending the weekend at a straight man's apartment.

celebrating 1 whole year free from delivery apps, but not for smug discourse-baity reasons, mainly bc i was tired of paying $40 for the same shitty sysco food i could buy at the grocery store.
YouTube told ASMR artists including Bunnii, Slight Sounds, Rose, and others that their content broke the platform's sex and nudity policy. Creators say these bans are unfair and potentially life-altering.
anyway, happy to be here on bluesky, the social media website with like, 4 different content filters for boobs. (and they're STILL booting sex workers from the platform.)
apologizing profusely and telling the guy sitting on the aisle seat that i'm 3 months pregnant (i'm not) to explain why i have to pee for the 3rd time on this flight.
I interviewed a former prosecutor yesterday who said this one thing that I cannot stop thinking about : βI think the most radical thing I learned from becoming a prosecutor is how much violence women face in this country and how little people care.β
the wildest thing about Democratic Party shills waking up today petulantly asking why DSA doesnβt run separately is that they know full well if the most popular candidates in the party all spun off and ran third party and split the left in the general they would shoot Hasan Piker in the street
