So, they're allowing users to return to the platform even if they're known to spread misinformation?
It's all about the money, isn't it?
Pretty disgusting business practice...

PLEASE @amo.house.gov and @sethmagaziner.bsky.social prevent this from happening. The thought that these grants would be renamed for Trump is appalling! PLEASE preserve Senator Pell's legacy!

Congressman Gabe Amo @amo.house.gov · 16d

RI legend Senator Claiborne Pell created grants to make it EASIER to get an education.

Trump is making it HARDER to get an education.

@magaziner.house.gov & I are fighting to stop Trump, whose “university” scammed students out of $25 million, from putting his name on these grants.

The US House wants to rename Pell Grants after Trump. RI's congressmen are not amused.
