I was shadowbanned on twitter for over 3 years due to right-wing reporting campaigns.

I saw my monthly impressions drop from 1.5 million to less than 30k almost overnight.

I know what shadowbanning looks and feels like.

So why am I feeling it here?

You all had 4 years to put him down but no one wanted to appear overly partisan by prosecuting a predecessor.

Oil industry? Airline industry? Auto industry?
Hell, they subsidize practically EVERYONE except the average citizen who needs it the most.

Mike Johnson: “When the government subsidizes something, it means it’s not working.”

Is he speaking about farmers, bankers, insurance companies, the Billionaires like Musk? No, just the everyday American that may need the ACA to live.

Help remind the whiny man-baby in the White House :

On this day in history in 2009,
President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

And the fact he accused her of spreading 'misinformation'!

Half expected to see him clutching his pearls.

'2000' was the last year of the 20th century and NOT the first year of the 21st.

So Harris was, in fact, correct.

𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙘𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙮 @ajohmss1956.bsky.social · 15h

For clarification:

Melber accused Harris of spreading misinformation by stating the 2024 election was the tightest of the 21st century.

He said that distinction belongs to the Bush v Gore election of 2000.

Once again ... Melber of @msnbc.com was wrong.

𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙘𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙮 @ajohmss1956.bsky.social · 15h

Someone remind Ari Melber of @msnbc that the year '2000' was the last year of the 20th century and NOT the first year of the 21st.

So Kamala Harris is right and Melber, once again, is blatantly wrong.

The fact that Elon musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon all being in the Epstein files dropped out of the news way too fast www.bbc.com/news/article...

Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files

The documents by the estate of convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were released by Congressional Democrats.

What began as a routine investigation became a propaganda gift...proof that caution without courage is a weapon aimed at yourself. Arctic Frost isn’t the scandal...it’s the mirror.👇

Biden and Garland's trepidation gave tRUmp all the time he needed to reorganize and led directly to tRUmp 2.0.

It's simply a fact.
