😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian ​President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by ‌restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile ​of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his ​WhatsApp channel…” 1/

Time to rethink Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp usage (again). This on the same day the Hollywood Reporter broke story about TikTok banning promotion of the Musk movie. Free speech advocates suppressing free speech and lying about it: This is why people are losing faith in social media

Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.social

Some content back up BUT NO administrative access for No Kings organizers Does Meta not think we are paying attention? Pro-democracy state AG's, legislatures & regulators should be all over investigating this--& so should a new pro-democracy Congress THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.

Rolling Stone@rollingstone.com

Filmmaker Alex Gibney has shared the first trailer for 'Musk,' a two-part, four-hour deep dive into Elon Musk that Rolling Stone called “a nonfiction horror movie” following its film festival debut earlier this month. Watch ↓

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

More like her please. The ultimate insult for Trump is to get schooled by a Black woman. Reminds me of the election

Susan Perri @perri4health@perri4health.bsky.social

Trump was schooled by a lady with class. I can’t tell you how much joy it gave me to hear recounting what she told him. Thank you Rep. Joyce Beatty for making my day.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

We toured Trump’s DC vanity projects. It’s a mess. Come with us on a video tour around Donald Trump’s DC and see for yourself.

Gay fascists exist here in America, folks. Peter Thiel, Bari Weiss, Scott Bessent and many closeted MAGA members.

Alice Weidel, the leader of the neo Nazi AfD party in Germany, is a lesbian woman married to an immigrant woman of color with two adopted kids She is proudly anti immigrant, anti LGBT and anti LGBT adoption and lives primarily in Switzerland. Rights for me, none for thee.

This is what happens when you don’t regard people as human beings. It’s systemic and starts at the top. The fish stinks from the head, as the Russian proverb goes. (Their fish stinks too)

🧵The @sfchronicle.com has a lengthy dive with strong reporting on medical treatment of detainees by ICE. Or, I should say, lack of treatment. To add insult to injury, ICE is stiffing providers and billing detainees for their treatment on release, routing for collections if they don't pay.

Perhaps the most important stake in coming midterms is Supreme Court reform

Steve Benen@stevebenen.com

In Democratic politics, talk has shifted rapidly to how, not whether, to reform the Supreme Court — and as Clyburn’s latest comments made clear, the number 13 is generating a lot of interest. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

250 million birds flew across America last night, tracked by radar. Migration season is upon us, and it’s wilder than you could imagine. Birdcast’s live migration maps and forecasts (from Cornell Lab of Ornithology) are brilliant, and you can find them here. birdcast.org/migration-to...

After 17 years of teaching science at West Point, a professor says he was suddenly ordered last year to cut from his curriculum information about the human causes of climate change, according to a new lawsuit filed against the U.S. Military Academy.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

The $25 MILLION ICE stun gloves are fucking diabolical. If you want to see how they’re supposed to work, watch this video. There’s no way this ends well. Now add this to the fact that DHS has already said body-cam footage will only be released when it’s “beneficial” to ICE.
