The nice thing abt Musk having SpaceX takeover Xitter is when we nationalize SpaceX we'll end up owning Xitter as a side deal. Also a robot that makes Child Sexual Abuse Material out of school photos, for which reason we can shut down Grok on day one.

After nine days at the hospital, during which we have been waiting for a bed to open up in rehab, we were told โ€” two minutes before end of day โ€” that Humana had rejected her need for short term care. Sheโ€™s 97. Sheโ€™s deaf. Sheโ€™s a retired schoolteacher who we thought had good insurance. โ€ฆ

No Kings response to Meta: โ€œIn the 24 hours before our account was shut down, we posted only a handful of times and livestreamed to thousands. Meta's "high-frequency" excuse doesn't add upโ€ฆWe need answers about why this happened & immediate action to ensure it never happens again.โ€

I think Congress should ask Zuck what happened. And also what happened in Brazil. If Stephen Miller asked him to throttle it, THEN it becomes a big deal.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

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...

Dem state AGs and state legislatures need to open up immediate investigations into how the platforms are interfering in these elections on behalf of Trump and the Rs. bsky.app/profile/ezra...

โ—โ—โ—Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Californians fought hard for affordability, net neutrality, and public safety protections on internet access. The federal government wants to strip that away via a provision in a funding deal. Tell the Governor to reject this provision. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

In Dallas at a VR event at a library yโ€™day. TX requires paper apps, (no online) & I canโ€™t tell you how many people made the comment that โ€œtheyโ€ were dropping people from rolls, rejecting applications, etc., etc. Rightly or wrongly, the most common comment was that โ€œtheyโ€ are trying to cheat.

Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.

I worked for New Yorkโ€™s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I'm not saying Dems should hold up the res for Darline Graham, but I'd hope they at least considered it... if simply because one Republican senator who blocked the res to replace Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee was Lindsey Graham. 2/

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes. And all that time he insisted he was a ghost, already dead but trapped in semi-corporeal form by Pure Evil. I told him Get Well Sir.

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

It seems, as I read the situation, that the WH decided not to disclose MOU terms tonight to avoid criticism spoiling UFC event; so Iran is disclosing phony terms that are even worse; which is infuriating WH folks, who want to respond; but they canโ€™t get permission b/c principals are at the UFC thing
